Cover up to go with this dress for wedding

[alexaplayfrozenmusic]

I have this dress which I plan to wear for a wedding next month: www.endource.com/product/and-other-stories-relaxed-pleated-midi-dress/XsPsBcnnfAABQdzN

I need some sort of cover up and was thinking a cream fur bolero type thing... what do you think?! And also - is it ok to wear a cream cover up to a wedding?! With the long covid-induced break from weddings, I've suddenly forgotten what's acceptable 😬

Any other ideas gratefully received too!

Is fur a bit wintery? Depends on where you are I guess.

Yes perhaps! I'm in London - I had imagined autumn would be fully here by the end of next month but perhaps it'll look too wintery. I was planning on wearing it instead of a coat...

I don't think cream fur would be right for that and I'd avoid cream.

What about a cropped bolero jacket?

Definitely not cream fur - that's what brides always wear at winter weddings, it will look very confused.

A short, fitted, waterfall jacket in cream suede might work (I have one from Zara and it would go great).

But not a bolero unless it's an 80s themed wedding

Something like this? I'm not sure those disgraceful work in sleeves www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-grade-Elegant-Bridal-Wedding-Faux-Fur-Long-Shawl-Stole-Wrap-Shrug-Scarf-_-/383111224820?_trkparms=ispr=1&hash=item5933355df4:g:aFYAAOSwcxhbg5Wn&amdata=enc: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%7Campid:PL_CLK%7Cclp:2334524&pageci=b4738db8-88b1-46ca-bc55-5abf26158d42&redirect=mobile



And with the photo - something like this, but make sure it is nipped in at the waist to give you shape, and as short as possible.

Beautiful dress. Love the colour

How else are you planning on accessorise it?

Lovely dress. I wore something like this with a denim jacket for a super hot summer outdoor informal wedding.
However. For yours. Monsoon do shrugs. I like their metallic ones.
Or look at Coast’s sequin shrug. Depends how fancy you want to go.
Go for a darker colour than cream. Faux fur ones look nice though too.

Lovely dress. The sleeves make it tricky so I might be tempted to wear a shawl or something.

What is Endource?

The jacket ideas are great but not with the sleeves on your dress. Go shawl or shrug but not cream. It's gorgeous: you could team it with a bin bag with slits up the sides and it would still be gorgeous. Great find!

I think that’s a tricky dress for an October wedding… it’s very Spring / summer in style and colour. I think you could clash it slightly with those warm tans / ginger/ spice colours to make it more autumnal. I think a kimono jacket will follow the lines of the neck & give you room for the sleeve. A fitted sleeve isn’t going to work.

I love the dress, but I really don't think it's appropriate for an October wedding, sorry. It's quite casual and summer in style.

I'm clearly in the minority, but that dress to me is shapeless, thin and looks more 'casual picnic' than a guest wedding dress! Is it an extremely, casual wedding?

A furry bolero would be too wintery, and wouldn't go with this dress. What about a pashmina wrapped around your shoulders if you need to go outside? You could get a brooch or pin to secure it.

I like the loose shape of the black coat on the left but with a leopard print.

….. or a similar kimono jacket in more autumn colours. There’s loads around this year

I disagree. I think the dress is appropriate for a wedding. However. It is the shrug/jacket that will ‘make it’.
