So, after all the fuss about what to wear to this wedding at the start of May, I have bitten the bullet and bought a dress. I tried on the original one I picked but it is just cut too small on the waist for me at the minute.
However, this one is cut a little more generously through the middle and I can just about fit into a 12. A nod to the current S/S floral trend, with hints of a snakeskin pattern peeking out between the roses! It is made / cut in such a way as I will be able to take it in a little once I get back to my 'ideal' weight.
I need to accessorise it now - opinions needed!
I have these (which are more milky and not as orange as they look in this picture - they are close to the colour of the palest roses), I would get a pinky-nude shawl and fascintor to go with them.
I also have some simple strappy silver sandals and would get a silver/grey shawl and fascinator if I go with these.
I did find a lovely pair of shoes in a pinky blush tone in LK Bennet but they cost more than the dress
so I can't really justify it.
