Cover up/shawl/bolero/cardi for this wedding guest outfit?

Looking for a cover up for this dress for a wedding. I'm in my mid thirties, very tall, size 16. Want something that doesn't detract from the beauty of the dress or make me seem older than I am, but also provides a bit of coverage because I have ample boobage. Wedding is overseas and will be warm.

Thanks in advance

Have a look at Scarf Room pashminas. Some are heavy looking, but they do a wedding range which include very light ones.
Thats a beautiful dress. Enjoy the wedding.

If you must, go with a floaty pashmina. A light silk or chiffon bit of fabric which you let drape about over your arms or where ever. Pick a colour which is in the dress.

Honestly though, nothing screams ''I hate my arms/boobs/whole body!!' more than cardis and bolero jackets over otherwise beautiful dresses. We see you in the lovely dress, and think that looks lovely - and then we notice that you're trying to hide x, y, z .... and so we have a look at x, y, z when we probably wouldn't have otherwise!

I hate pashminas so I can't help there - I'd probably go with a short cashmere jumper which is not everyone's taste I know or a shirt or blazer.

But please tell me where you got the dress because I love it!!!
