Help me dress this up for a wedding...

I bought this dress right before I went on vacation- so excuse the fact that it didn't fit well.

I'm currently getting it hemmed and getting the top fixed cause it was too big. Chat Icon

How can I dress this up enough for a wedding at the Milleridge Inn (Friday night)? Silver shoes? Gold?

Do you think it can be dressed up enough? (In the pictures I was trying to dress it down)

The material is silk- a sheer overlay over a solid blue.

TIA!!

LOL- too late. I just brought it up to the knee. I have short legs and large calves, so I wanted to take the focus off of the calf part.

Thanks though!

I love it! I would say silver strappy shoes, big dangly earrings, a silver clutch. I'm not sure I'd wear a necklace. The neck line is nice open.

I am going to switch it up a little and say I think that silver accessories will really help bring out the blue and make it pop! I wouldn't wear a necklace though, the neckline is an odd shape for a necklace. I would wear your hair up, in a loose, sexy style and get a pair of bigger silver earrings that hang and wear a nice chunky bracelet that matches. Throw on some silver heels w/o a strap around the ankle and play up your eyes with makeup and wear a light sheer pink lipstick and you'll look perfect for a wedding and super-cute!

I love that dress with a soft gold, strappy shoe like you bought.

Wear some nice earrings and a bracelet and put up your hair or just the front.
