Ok, because I am also shocking at fashion stuff, I asked Miss F for her ‘expert’ opinion and here is what she says:
“Black lace stockings are a very classy addition to black dresses. Not fish nets though, LACE. And don’t mix pastels with black – brighter is better, ok?… Oh mum – she’s NOT wearing those gumboots with that dress, is she? That would be a bad choice – Like a 20 hour time out bad choice!”

Good luck!

Buy yourself a trench coat. It will look great with the dress and with jeans. Also, do not go with black stockings. Skin colored ones are so much better, especially with that dress.

Great dress! Nice cut and very versatile – you could dress it up or down. I am with the pashmina vote. The pashmina can comfortabley stay slung around your shoulders all night – you don’t have to spend a fotune on them either. Get one in a bright colour you think looks nice on you like a shade of blue or green and accesorise the rest. Beautiful!

You think you’re a fashion nightmare? I thought your dress was nice, classic even. Put on a red coat and some “big” jewelery and you’re all set.

No suggestion on the side boob issue though.

Long time lurker, first time commenter here – but I thought I’d put in my two-cents worth.

I’m definitely with the ladies who say the right bra will eliminate the side boobs. As embarrassing as it is, those bra shop ladies do know their stuff!

And I’d go with skin coloured stockings with bright accessories (that’s the beauty of a black dress). Good luck!

I agree about the correct bra, I would take the dress with you, take a deep breath and put yourself in the hands of the ladies at a lingerie shop… the right bra will make heaps of difference. For the record, I love the dress, not boring at all!

I think a Pashmina or something similar, or a boero jacket if you think you need more weight.

Also, when you go bra shopping tell them you need to eliminate side boobs – if you get the right bra they should just vanish :)) Fingers crossed anyway

The dress is a great cut – well done! I’d go with a warm shawl or pashmina, secured in place with a big vintage brooch for a bit of bling.

I suggest a colourful scarf around your waist to dress it up and skin (not mine) coloured stockings for daytime wedding.
