    What to wear with this dress?
    I'v had it for a while but never known what to wear it with, it's tight fitting, like a bodycon dress, the material is soft and stretchy, and stops about 3 inches above my knees so it's kinda short. I'm gonna be wearing it to a friends girls only house party. Sorry it is a really bad picture, the sequins are not silver they are clear and you can hardly see them but they're reflecting light in the pic, and the dress is navy blue if the colour isn't clear from the picture.

    I need ideas for shoes & accessories.

    you don't really need to accessorise it much as it's got the sequins. I'd say go bare legs with maybe some nude heels - or as it's a house party you could probably get away with flats!

    Looks like something out of Star Wars

    A lightsaber would do perfectly fine

    Such a pretty dress

    Agree with the nude heels idea, also black could work if you don't want to buy anything new Last season Chanel and Balmain put navy with black the taboo concerning these two colours is well and truly gone and I think it can look tres chic done right . Ooooh you could wear a black satin bow headband thing as well? Nothing too fussy though, if I were you I wouldn't detract from that gorgeous dress.

    Thank you! I think I'd prefer the nude to black, but do you think nude shoe boots would go? the type that have laces..

    I agree with the guy above, it looks like something from star wars.

    How about a Darth Vader mask?

    kay, so if you have a pair of bright pink shoes, those would look great with other bright pink jewlery. Or dark blue could work also.

    I have a kinda similar pair in dark grey, but they don't have the strap they're closed at the back.

    Really tall red heels & red lipstick? It could work with black.

    do you need to wear anything with it? just go for some plain black shoes and you don't need to over do the dress go for plain and simple
