I bought this dress and love how it looks on (which is much nicer than it does in this sloppy picture lol, but I didn't want to take a picture wearing it this low), but it's WAY too low for me. I can get it tailored to cover up a bit more, but I don't know what fabric color would look best with this (coral) color... I have nice silver stilettos that look amazing with this dress, but I can't really see silver fabric around the chest area.. Ideas? :rolleyes:

if you always wear the silver shoes with it, the silver fabric around the chest would be fine, but then you are limited to those shoes. but ivory or white would look very pretty against a coral as well.

I'd go for a contrasting color like bright purple or orange. It would look VERY Versace-ish a la Beyonce in the "Crazy in Love" video.

Yeah! Great idea stephanie, it will look good in contrasting colors! :D

Yes! The contrasting colors would look so chic. Very Issac Mizrahi... Couture, not Target. Not that there is anything wrong with Target... I love it, couldn't live without it.

I think brown looks great with coral- the leopard shoes would be hot, or something like this:

Then you could just wear a little brown tank under the dress. It would be easier to tell though if you could take a picture of it on- can't you put on a camisole underneath it?

Actually that's a great idea! You could buy several thin (layering) tanks in all different colours and you'd get a lot more mileage out of that dress.

i think skin tone color shoes would be perfect for your dress..

If you wear the camisoles under it, you could go with a more laid back look, with gold sandals. These would be fantastic:

They're Jeffrey Campbell from Lord & Taylor, and they're not too pricey, $70.

For jewelry, gold and turquoise go great with coral.

I know, I love those shoes! I need to stop making suggestions for other people- it just makes me want to run over to L&T and buy them for myself!

thin tanks, camisoles and/or bandeau tops would be a good investment as they come in so many colours. have you tried looking in american apparel? they always have a brilliant range of colour.

I agree, wear a cami or T under it! Leave somethings to the imagination! Wear funky shoes like the leopard prints and carry a really hot designer purse. I just bought a great Chanel at Shop Designer Handbags - BrandsBoutique.com at http://www.eFashionHouse.com - Discount Designer Handbags, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Prada Fendi Gucci Handbags (http://www.brandsboutique.com) for 65% off retail! They are having a summer sale. It ends Aug 31. Use code
