Please help me style this Pucci dress/outfit

My late DMIL had great style and left a selection of vintage formalwear when she died. DH and I are going to a black tie ball on 1 July and I’m thinking of wearing this Pucci outfit - it’s a long, full cotton skirt and jacket (perfect for high summer!). The skirt fits perfectly and just hits the floor in my bare feet. The jacket is too big in the bust (DMIL was always slim but much more of an apple shape than I am) so I may not bother with it, or just use it as an “over” layer.

I’d really appreciate suggestions on what else to wear with it and where to source them. My thoughts are: white sleeveless top, white block heels and white clutch, but I’m open to other ideas. I think the skirt is really elegant but “busy”, so simple but very good quality for the rest would look best. Jewellery and nail polish suggestions also very much welcome.

Thanks!

Original Pucci. How fabulous!

Even though I love wearing white and white accessories, I wouldn't in this instance. Instead, I would try to find a silk sleeveless top in the same shade as pink as either the jacket or the skirt itself. (Not helpful to you, but I have some beautiful turquoise earrings which I always wear with pinks, reds and oranges, which would look wonderful with this).

But, that's just me. If you love how the white looks, go with that.

Please can we see it on!

I’d lose the jacket too. It’s too much together for me,

And I’d go for a simple black sleeveless close fitting silk shell top to tone it down and draw attention to the skirt with some high strappy sandals.

I think I’d try to find something to match the yellow in the skirt myself.

I'd go for a high neck black top that's really form fitting. Black high heel sandals. Can we see the end result please?
