    Gorgeous dress! Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking?

    (I have no idea how to help you with accessories sorry)

    If I was going to wear it (hopefully i'll be able to get it, ha) I would wear earrings that I have that hang down black with little butterflies. They have a little bit of gold on them so might wear a slim gold watch. I think wearing anything too chunky would take away from the dress!

    Shoes i'm not sure what colour, wouldn't go for black think it would be a bit harsh on the dress. I'd paint my toes the same colour as the bottom half of the dress anyway. I'd go for a very strappy sandle, maybe gold...

    Edited to add a black clutch bag too..

    (the above could look crappy, i'm very bad at being original I usually copy ideas out of magazines! ha)

    Depends on weather you're going for bare legs or not. if you are then black i think would look brilliant. if you are red of gold would be deadly. if you went for barely black tights/stockings then black patent shoes would be gorgeous.

    gold jewels i think not to much i think though, the dress is quite a statement so you don't want to look like a Christmas tree.
    if you have longish hair then i think put it up and a black choker with a little gold something attached in the middle would work really well it looks really pretty, very sophisticated and elongates the neck.
    and then just a gold bracelet or watch and a black, red or gold clutch and you're ready to go.

    and make sure you lipstick matches you're dress because if it doesn't it'll drain all the colour out of you're face.
    one last thing. don't go mental on the fake tan.

    i think gold would be the way to go for this, New Look do some great kinda bangles, they're great for colour coordinating in there, so if you could get a pretty dainty set of gold bangles with maybe one of two with the pinky colour just to bring it togther. For shoes you could go black, it'll probably be easiest to find at this stage, maybe go for an unusual choice one in schuh, they have some lovely heels & you might even find something with the some colour thats in the dress. I wouldnt wear a necklace, unless you wanted to go for a very thin gold chain with some kinda pretty pendant, maybe you'd get a nice matching set with earrings and then since your not going too flashy with the rest of the accessories, I'd slap on a big cocktail ring. you can get them super cheap in Pennies or somewhere, i wouldnt spend a fortune on it unless its something you'd wear again. Most important have a great night,the dress is amazing, you'll look great!!!

    Firstly the dress is FAB!

    If you are brunette/black hair - I would go nude shoes/sandals - saw a pair in Office a few weeks ago I think - then gold jewellery, I personally would wear a pretty simply gold chain as you dont want it too much with the ruffles, then I would wear some fantastic gold earrings - you should go somewhere like Awear and try to get them with a peachy stone at the end. Then again a pretty simple bangle/bracelet. As for a bag I would say in a dream world a black clutch with a hint of peach OR what you could do is get a peach flower and attach it to a black clutch - failing that a black clutch with a gold clasp. Phew...I went to dinner dance for my boyfriend a few weeks back - stressful aint they!

    What a dress! It is gorgeous!

    I'd wear black heels with that. Don't ruin the dress with shoes that are too casual. You need something high and with wow factor.
    As for jewelery, check out River Island. They have some amazing bangles in at the moment and you would definitely be able to pick up something great to go with it. I would say go with bangles 'cause they are really in at the moment and with a dress like that you want to stay on trend.

    Whatever you dress it up with, I'm sure you'll look great 'cause that dress is stunning.

    Edit...

    Check out riverisland.com
    There are a black pair of shoes with three straps, on page 3 of footwear / heels. They are great.

    Absolutely beautiful dress, I love it!!

    For shoes, i'd personally go for black peep toe heels, I think peep toes would look really cute, and paint your nails in a matching coral/pinky colour to match the dress.

    These shoes from Dune look like they might be a good match, and with the litle bit if gold, you could wear gold dangly earrings

    These are from schuh, don't know if they might look at bit 'too much' with the dress, but I low the bow on the back of them! http://www.schuhstore.co.uk/home_normal.asp

    I would go with a simple enough black bag, this one's from Coast, a bit pricey, but I'm sure there's loads of black bags about, Costello& Costello usually have loads of plain black clutches.

    If you really want to wear a necklace, I'd go for something really simple in black, but I think gold or black earrings would be best

    I'd finish it off with either a chunky ring or a bracelet

    And don't forget to bring a black wrap/pashmina, Accessorise etc usually have loads if you don't have one. Enjoy your night!!
