Wedding attire - is this ok?

[Williteverrainagain]

Hi, I have never been great at clothes. I often seem to get things slightly wrong. I am 56, 5' 6 and a size 18 currently (bloody menopause). We are going to a wedding in a two weeks time (family member) and the invite says "Dress to Impress". I am not that confident in myself at this weight but I do care what I look like.

I have ordered this dress:

And these shoes:

I intend to wear a double-layered gold necklace (Mint Velvet) and have ordered a suede olive green clutch bag. I can no longer wear heels so shoes need to be flats.

Can anyone with advise me if they think this is a good combination.

Thanks!

I agree, otherwise I fear it looks a bit matronly.

But this isn't even predominantly white. I'm one of those who says you should avoid white at weddings but if it's just a white background with lots of colour and pattern I really don't see the issue. It doesn't look remotely bridal.

The dress is pretty & a classic shape. I wouldn't bother with a necklace & just wear long earrings - keep the neckline clear & a bit more unbuttoned?

I have those shoes in navy & gold & they're lovely, as are the olive ones you've ordered. Though I thought they weren't quite the right shade of green for the dress - but these things are hard to tell from photos, so I hope they go well with your dress & bag!

For once! An actual lovely outfit on the wedding questions! Love it

I love your dress, and the handbag matches perfectly! Hope you have a wonderful day
