dress 2

Now shoes. I am 6ft tall, have size 8 feet. No way am I going without tights - not with my legs. I don't want anything too high, and I don't think flats will dot eh dresses justice. So ideas please

Both gorgeous. What's the occasion?

SaltireOShanter · 24/01/2009 14:23

i like the second one more. some kitten heels would look lovely with it.

Jackstini · 24/01/2009 14:25

Love the second one - what shoe size are you?

SaltireOShanter · 24/01/2009 14:27

size 8. I have ordered both dresses, and will go with the one I feel most comfy in!

i love the 2nd dress.

we are about the same size saltire, i am around 5'10-5'11 with size 8 feet.

i always find buying dress shoes a nightmare because i dont want skyscraper heels.

kitten heels are perfect for me but seem to have gone back out of fashion and i cant find many about

the additions web-site had a few nice pairs of kitten heels last year so it may be worth a look there.

I think jackstini is spot on.
The solid colour and shape of the lilac one lends itself better to the kitten heels

JackieNo · 24/01/2009 18:05

How about grey? Not 100% sure about the colour though.
Good price, and a bit of glitz.
Pewter?

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 24/01/2009 19:17

I think the second dress is gorgeous. I would be more likely to go for grey, silver or pewter shoes tbh, otherwise the lilac might look a bit too matchy-matchy - or worse, if they are a shade or two removed they will look odd.

Black satin platform peep toes with the first frock

both lovely dresses btw

SulliedYouth · 24/01/2009 19:27

I love the second dress! I would go for silver or grey flats.

GossipMonger · 24/01/2009 19:29

I think you would get more wear out of the first dress and you can add extra colours to make different outfits.
