Hello lovelies, I’m very out of my depth here, so asking for help!

I am solo attending a wedding at the end of September, not confident about it and I’m considering this dress but don’t know how to style it!

It’s a wedding in Scotland, church then Marquee at the golf club so could be chilly!

I am 42, short, size 16 with a c-section tummy to hide and tried this dress today and thought it looked ok.

On the website, the model wears it with navy heels, which I have. I’d like to but doubt I could wear my comfortable flats… or could I?
Also what colour jacket would you all suggest? Definitely need a jacket as I think I’ll be cold!

And jewellery colour - white gold?

Any help at all greatly appreciated! Thank you.

That dress will look better on someone with a small bust. Just saying in case that's not your case.

I think flats will be nice

I’d wear a gold or cream jacket picking out the base colour in the dress. I think Navy might look a bit like a uniform. You can definitely wear ballet style flats or a slight wedge with that dress, no need for heels.

Id wear a big bangle or cuff and a collar style necklace with that neckline.

I love the dress, I'd be tempted to go with gold jewellery and these shoes

Thank you all, I’m sure I’ve a pair of nude low heels that would work, if not I really like those @GettingStuffed suggested.
@farfromideal I’m proportionally busted so it didn’t look awful on; possibly draws the eye to the bust slightly but not extraordinarily so!
