Accessorise this dress for me?

Particularly any gothy MNers out here - accessorise this dress for me please? It’s for an evening thing - and looking particularly for something for the neck - a pendant or something else that is all black/maybe dark purple?

re shoes - would heeled lace up ankle boots work? Feeling like boots/lace up - but not sure what suits!

Oh that's beautiful. I'd wear it with ankle boots, I think lace up boots would look great. Doesn't need much accessorising, maybe a single bangle and earrings.

Oh thanks! Bangle would get lost under long arm lace sleeves no? I love earrings but as I wear my hair down and it’s fairly long (under bra strap) would they be seen as much as a statement neck thing?

thanks for the vote of confidence in lace up heeled ankle boots by the way!

I wouldn't add jewellery at all. Lace up ankle boots would be lovely but like these- not Docs - the " contrast Docs worn with girly dresses" is so over- done

Lovely dress

Fab dress. More boots here.

Oooh...I'd go with lace-up, Edwardian style boots; lacy tights and a choker.

I think earrings would need to be long/dangly and probably sparkly to be seen. Or you could do a long necklace with a statement pendant that comes down to the dress’s waistband? Not both though, doesn’t need much. Boots sound fab.

Ah those boots! If I had the budget for £160 on boots I so would!!

I think choker too and yes the particular boot style you guys mention.

I want ALL the boots now … wish there were affordable ones :/

Gorgeous dress!
statement earrings agree very simple jewellery - just statement earrings.
I would pain my nails something like dark green or purple .

DiscoStusMoonboots · 22/05/2022 10:20

Laced up ankle boots would be fab. Rather than accessories, why don't you focus on statement makeup? Eg. A bold, wine red lipstick, or metallic cream eyeshadow (I love a rust/emerald green to go with all black). Love the dress.

Lovely dress. A choker would look great with this dress and dangly earrings. Maybe a chunky silver ring?

All your ideas are stubbing! May I cheekily also request for any choker ideas? And also any make up links if you have ideas?!

Purple is my next favourite colour after black - any ideas for purple make up/choker particularly gratefully received!

If you go on to Etsy and search for 'purple gothic choker' it comes up with quite a few different options.
