What to wear with my prom dress?

So this is my dress - http://www.coast-stores.com/HARMONY-MAXI-BANDEAU-D...

Basically, I'm just looking for some advice on what sort of accessories to wear with it - jewlerry/shoes/bag etc. Even like nail polish and stuff?

Thanks.

    Good choice on the dress front - looks lovely!

    Jewellery - two options. Either keep it really simple, like a small but sparkly pendant, a simple bracelet and some dangly silver earrings, or go a bit bolder. I make jewellery using tiny glass beads and these are quite big and unique and would look fab with a dress like that. (contact if interested :P) If you go bold though, I would stick to one chunky item (say the necklace) and then keep the rest pretty simple.

    Bag - a small clutch using material as close the dress as poss (may have a matching bag on the Coast site you could use again). Keep it pretty small though as the dress is a bold colour and you don't want the bag to clash/stand out too much. If not a matching one, go for something very very simple.

    Shoes - I'd go elegant peep toe. The dress looks quite classy and I find there is a fine line on the highstreet to a elegant and tacky sandal/strappy shoe. However, that also depends how 'foot happy' you are lol.

    Nails - I'd go either french manicure or really dark almost black blue. Barry M do a good colour to match that dress and it's only £2.50 or something silly. If your a nail biter (like myself) stick fakes on first as a dark colour is muuuuch better on longer nails.

    Hope all that helps :)

    Silver heels, strappy or peep toe would look great

    I would suggest some intricate silver earrings, like chandelier earrings

    I dont think you'll need a necklace because the front of the dress is already quite elaborate, but if you want, a simple short silver necklace would look really pretty

    You could go with silver nail polish, for a different look. If you want to play it safe I'd suggest a light pearl blue or a really dark blue, almost black to match.

    Love the dress!! have fun at your prom!

    I'd disagree with some of the other comments. Because the dress is a lovely colour, and being maxi, there's a lot of it, you want contrasting colours rather than matching the colour to a corsage/cluth/shoes. This will be too matchy-matchy and IMO is a rather dated look.

    Tribal jewellery goes well wity most maxis, but with the colour of this dress, by best advice would be go gold with jewellery/clutch. Gold goes much better with an almost navy blue than silver does. I would go failry simple with the earrings, either studs, or thin hoops, and maybe a chunkier gold bangle and /or necklace. I'd keep the clutch small, but maybe sequin or beaded to add a flash of interest and colour. For the shoes, either strappy sandles, or maybe somethign with a chunky wooden heel if you're feeling a little couture, but def. sandles over heels.

    Hope this helps and have a lovely time!

    That's a beautiful dress! I would wear a choker silver necklace, matching bracelet, and silver flats. Maybe white nail polish, and a blue flower in your hair to go with the blue of the dress

    minimal jewelry/ accessories. the dress speaks volumes.

    Strappy silver heels would (i.m.o.) look best.

    plain studs or a silver drop pendant for earrings, with a single bracelet or necklace of similar style.

    as far as a bag, definitely a small clutch. probably silver, i wouldn't go with black or white because of the color of the dress.

    that's how I'd do it. but it depends on how the dress looks on you.

    oh, i almost forgot. if you've got long hair, I'd say curl it and put it in a half-updo. short, give it a pompadour in front and straighten it.

    black nail polish, and smokey eyes. :)

    I love the dress!

    So, I think that gold accessories would go best.

    I've included earrings, necklace, bracelet, clutch, and shoes in the list. If you're tall, go for flats or low heels (unless your date is REALY tall), and if you're short, go for high heels!

    4th 5th and 6th. prettiest hues and varieties of dresses. The purple tones are relatively perplexing to pull off sturdy, the final one is slightly skimpy for promenade and that i purely didnt like the varieties on the others. :D
