Would anyone like to accessorise this dress for me?

I have this dress for a spring wedding. It wasn’t expensive, it’s 100% polyester but importantly it fits and I feel ok in it (long history of issues around self esteem etc).

I think I can dress it up a fair bit. I need shoes and a bag. I have a pashmina scarf thingy in a shade very similar to the lightest pink on the dress.

A bit of me thinks that choosing navy or pink would be a safe option and I’m tempted to pick out the green or yellow. It’s a family wedding and the bride is good fun so I can play with colours a bit.

I’m currently isolating with Covid and could do with cheering up!

Close up of the colours as it’s not clear in the screenshot from the website.

Well I'm no fashionista ... but I'd not do much with that dress
It's gorgeous so I don't think it's needs more at all
I'd keep to the pashmina and some shoes similar to the pic in navy ?

That's really pretty. Where is it from?

It’s a really pretty dress & ideal for a wedding.

I think delicate sandals are perfect and agree, could be navy, pink, green or yellow. Are you ok with delicate sandals? Then a very small clutch, possibly barrel style.

Love shoes. All shoes… need to be decent quality for comfort though. A barrel clutch is a great idea.

@catwithflowers it’s only boohoo, not somewhere I’d normally buy from to be honest.

Love the dress. Is it a UK wedding? If so, I’m not sure I would wear strappy sandals in April.

I would go for green- found these which I love!

@BellaVida where are they from? They're lush

BellaVida · 20/02/2022 18:56

Forgot to say, it looks like they do a matching bag too!

Omg I LOVE those shoes. The dress is lovely but I’m more than happy to have statement shoes. It’s unusual for me not to buy the shoes first…
