    I bought this dress for a family event in May. The event is during the day. I am notsure what kind wear with it. I rarely wear dress or navy so I am a bit clueless as to what to wear with it.

    Any suggestion would be welcome.:)

    I forgot to say that I have pink glitter style court shoes that I got in Debenhams at Christmas. They are very pale almost nude pink shoes with a small bit of glitter at the heel and toe.

    They are similar with the below shoes but not as chunky and the front is less round:

    Thanks again for any suggestions:)

    You could wear a pale pink bolero or cardigan.

    Or you could keep it simple and wear just gold bangles and earrings, along with your shoes and tie your hair up.

    Pale pink goes well with navy.

    I'd be aiming for silver with this...assuming the family event is fairly dressy?
    I wouldn't put pink with it, or red or anything. Perhaps if the dress was shorter then maybe.
    I'd go pewter in colour if you wanted to have it less-bling than with silver!

    I bought the same dress but am waiting for it to arrive as I needed the petite size - I will wear a pale shawl/cardigan with it.

    Lovely dress. I think nude shoes and gold bangles/jewellery are your best bet here. Wouldnt be mad on the pink glittery shoes.

    Agree with other posters that a bit of gold jewelry would do the trick, esp to match with the gold on the shoes :) Fab dress!

    For people who were interested in the petite size - I got it ove the weekend - it is lovely -I am 5ft 1in and it hits the floor for me but I will be wearing it with a white cardigan and pale sandals.

    Mine arrive and I am delighted it with. I am thinking of going with gold shoes as I feel the dress needs a bit of a lift.
