I'm a bit crap with accessorising but just wanted to say, ohmyfeckingod that's gorgeous!! God Bless etsy!

Novella

Ooooh, it's really pretty!

If I was wearing it, I'd go with a girlie, vintage vibe! All curls and pearls and very delicate, very ladylike.

I'll have a look around a bit and see if I can find anything to link you to to give you and idea of what I'm thinkin'!

:O OP that is so pretty! I also hate you for showing me that link cause I am in love with the dresses!!

I agree with Novella, go oldschool, pearls and even a fur shawl or something, or pilgrim style jewellery might work too.

phasers

:O

LOVE IT!

Defintiely pearls OP, and I think that less is definitely more as the dress itself is a statement!

Oh dear lord, I am in love!! That is just so beautiful!

Yeah i defo agree with previous posters I'd go for delicate accessories & shoes, pearls, fur etc but I'd be stumped figuring out what shoes to wear I'd try find something very imple kinda Marilyn Monroe-esque!! if that makes any sense to you!!

insert-gear

Just plain wow.

Pearls and peep toes, definitely.

Peep toes:

Unusual look, but still quite retro

I know these are from the same place you got the dress, but I love the statement of black shoes with tulle.

I'd definitely go with black shoes. Peep toe heels were a good suggestion.
Big pearls, maybe a double stranded choker, but big ones.
Rosy cheeks, long curled lashes, bee stung lips, natural looking eye make up. Avoid pink lipstick or glitter.

black silk bag, or maybe black and white. I think I would tend to avoid pink accessories.

PS: since the dress already has a big bow, I would avoid any bows on the accessories.

Fabulous dress, reminds me of Carrie's dress at the intro to Sex and the City. Whatever accessories you choose, you will look amazing.

OP here - thanks for all the suggestions!

I defintely think ye are right for the black peep holes, and pearls!

It really is a beautiful dress - you can get a link to the designer from my link. She is super to work with an handmakes everything....

Heres hoping to not spilling wine on that skirt :P

Pythia

Absolutely love dress!

LadyMayBelle

I want:)

Seonad

Oh! That is one of the most beautiful dresses I've seen on here!

Excellent find.

If it was me I'd toughen it up a bit-perhaps with some shoes like this:

Will make sure to post photos once I have gotten the shoes and pearls that have been suggested....

I passed on all your "oohs" and "aaaahs" to the designer, who is chuffed to hear them

rubyred

Oh wow. Could you wear a dress like that to a summer wedding? I'm thinking the pink tulle skirt, black top, black bow and black peeptoes :-
