DH bought me this dress today after saying I like it on 'How to Look Good Naked' last night!

Have 2 evening wedding receptions to go to and just need some expert advice on shoes, am not into round toes or thick heels - need something quite classy but modern IYKWIM!

It is not silk though - it is crepe!

How lovely of him.

What were they wearing with it on telly ?

Your dh is a star.

Someone would have to plant one in my dh's hands and tell him to give to me before he would do anything like that.

Shoes, you need sparkly and I'm thinking a rounded closed toe jobby.

The dress reminds me of the 1920's, a bit flapper style.
Gorgeous.

my friend wore this on sat night (but in white), it looked gorgeous. She had very high dark grey shoes on (slightly platformy), it looked good.

not what you asked for but fit nbg's description and they are fab on, they don't have my size unfortunately.

How about something red and bold? slingbacks perhaps, there are some nice ones around a the moment

flat black or silver ballet pumps??

Twinkie1 · 21/05/2008 15:45

The lady on TV had very high, platform, silver, round toed shoes and thick black tights - I wanted to look classy and elegant and I HATE roiund toed shoes!!! Sorry I know I am being difficult!

Red sounds nice though - I only ever really though of black!

DH didn't just go off his own back - I told hi I liked it and they flashed the shop and price up on the screen so he had all of the info he needed! But he is being particulalry lovely at the moment!

Slur has it bang on.

And what do you mean you dont like round toe shoes!

S1ur · 21/05/2008 15:52

Here's a range, what kind of thing do you hate/like?

For 1920s look,

black mary janes

these are nice

red peep toes

Twinkie1 · 21/05/2008 15:54

I just don't like them feel they don;t look terribly elegant!

I do like the red peep toe ones though - DH would like those!

this kind of thing

Nbg · 21/05/2008 15:56

Those KG ones are luuuuuuuuush.

The red peep ones would look fab.

katierocket · 21/05/2008 15:57

or this I do think they need to be high. My BF is pretty tall but on her the dress was very short and somehow it needed high shoes to carry off the look.

Pinkjenny · 21/05/2008 15:58

OMG Those KG ones are fab.

Pinkjenny · 21/05/2008 15:59

Katierocket's first choice is the best IMO so far

Twinkie1 · 21/05/2008 16:00

Love the 2nd pair Katierocket - they are soooo high though!

Will go to Bluewater at the weekend and see if they have them in 9 west there!!

Thank you!!
