Help me accessorise this dress please

[CluelessAtClothing]

Hi as per username I'm clueless. I have no style and dress so I look acceptable based on my current size 16 body.

I've got this dress to wear to a winter wedding, I tried on approx 25 dresses to get to this one, i have a huge bust and I didn't want anything that creases easily so finally found this. I have no idea what to wear with it. What shoes, colours, other accessories (matching bag??) Fascinator?? Please help. I'm 35 if that helps and brunette. Thanks.

Hi OP for shoes I really like the Valentino style ones the model is wearing.

I’d go with a faux fur stole or shrug, shoes
like the model, and a box clutch bag in a really lovely fabric. This type.

It’s a gorgeous dress for a winter wedding.

I would add a little bit of sparkle (just a touch) if it's for a wedding, either through a fascinator or a stole. A lovely drees by the way :)

I love the idea of going with pink like the bag posted above. Blush pink shoes would be lovely and then a patterned clutch bag. Statement earring (if thats your thing) otherwise keep the rest of your jewelry simple, no need for a fascinator.

I personally love the idea of this with it, bit marmite though! www.zara.com/uk/en/printed-beaded-bucket-bag-p16305010.html?v1=177648885&v2=2139520

I'd go with some gold shoes in a style that feels comfortable for you - definitely try out a platform or chunky heel if the ones the model's wearing are a bit spindly.

Accessories: yes to some sparkle, maybe some pretty glitzy, vintage-y hairpins? eg. www.oliverbonas.com/accessories/acacia-starburst-star-hair-slides-large-pack-of-two-345885

The bag that @thisplaceisweird links to would go well too. Another vote for a stole, in dark brown.

It's a lovely dress! Hope it makes you feel good wearing it.

Has anyone got any links to a stole please?I've never worn anything like that (and I don't think I've ever worn anything brown to be honest!) So would love to see some examples. I love the shoes the model is wearing and it's annoying they don't link to them. Does anyone know of any similar elsewhere please? Thank you all for dressing me!

Shoes link

How about these? I like them and not too high.

Yay or nay for these?
More shoes

I love these and I find shoes with ankle straps a lot more comfortable and supportive.

Stole link

Any thoughts on this? I'm not sure about brown but this caught my eye. I'm all about reusable fashion buy the way so I love vinted.

Personally I think that one looks a bit thin. Have a look on etsy. They have loads of fluffy looking stoles in different colours. I think a nice creamy beigey colour would look nice with those nude shoes.

Ooh that faux fur stole would be glorious with it. Both luxe and cost.

Cosy.

Something like this one. Sorry its not letting me post the link.

I’d go with a more contrasting colour for the stole, like this in cream or mink: www.coastfashion.com/faux-fur-stole/BCC02623.html?color=142 or this beauty in pink: www.coastfashion.com/cropped-feather-bolero-/BCC02885-107-56.html?istCompanyId=ea18716d-5d4c-45d1-97b5-44f5ccef03c7&istFeedId=804fbb78-ffa6-4f49-ab7a-570411b233ee&istItemId=rwxtmxitw&istBid=t&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImIzw6O3u-gIVp-_tCh1W7QPYEAQYBiABEgKxdvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

This is making me wish I was invited to a wedding at the moment.

You can get very similar shoes in Dune

Beautiful 😍 not budget friendly for me though unfortunately.

What’s your budget OP?

Gold flats, that clutch bag up thread and a trench type coat

Lovely dress. I think black or deep emerald green accessories would work well.
Do you need a big bag for kids stuff, flat shoes etc?
What is the location, do you think you'll be outside a lot?

The shoes you posted are fabulous OP - either would work!

Don't do fascinator... bit naff and would cheapen that lovely chic dress

Nails in the colour of the dress would be nice.

Thank you

Ok matching nails is a good shout, will go for that.

Will have separate bag for kids which husband will have so no worries there.

Happy with heels but not too high, don't need flats

I'm now thinking a stole would be too much maybe as the whole wedding is inside a hotel, nothing outside so might look a bit silly? 🤔 any other suggestions aside from a stole? Thanks

Budget is as little as possible ideally but happy to be shown ideas even if expensive as I can look through vinted for similar.
