What shoes with this dress?

I'm going to a wedding - my first 'proper'outing since being diagnosed with ME in November. I've bought the dress here.

I have tiny (size 2) feet. And I have to find a hat/fascinator to go with it.

Dear wise and stylish ladies, can you help?

Oooh that dress is stunning!

I'd get ready for some anti-fascinator comments if I were you babypowder - there was a thread on here recently about how awful most people think they are!

By the by I would say black shoes for that dress. Heels, maybe a peep-toe

something like these maybe?

Did worry about the fascinator thing, but I'm so small I look like a button mushroom in a hat!

and I love those shoes. Must trawl to see if I can find any in a size 2.

Sheesh I forgot about the size 2 feet - sorry!

Just had a look for small shoes online but the few sites I looked at only had very old-fashioned clumpy looking numbers!

Could you not buy those gorge Office ones in a size 3 and stuff something down the toes?! Might not be comfy but you'd look fabulous!

I have these (First pair in the photo. Click to enlarge) I normally take a 5 but bought these in the 6 as the 5 was a little tight. I know you take a 2 but these start at 2.5 so they may fit.

These are nice too if a little less dressy.

Love these! More expensive but would give you a little more height and they come in a size 2.

OMG - I adore that first pair (drool) Maybe a little out of my price range though

Hadn't thought about Next - I do like those monochrome shoes.

You are all so helpful

I love the dress too btw!! You will look fab. Black and white always looks classy

I did mean the third pair - I just looked at them first They are sooo gorgeous!

I like the fascinator, too! I struggle with all this accessorising thing.

The fascinator with the net is nice, as it's not too fascinating.

It would look great with some peep toe platformy high shoes, like the ones in the first link, and a black clutch.
