Do these shoes go with this dress?

AllisaurusRex · January 2012

I am going to wear a custom-made rendition of this Maggie Sottero dress:

I was originally planning to wear these shoes (which I bought almost 2 years ago when I first got engaged):

I love the shoes. They were my first wedding purchase and dictated the whole color scheme. I had originally wanted a super simple gown to go with them, but now that I've fallen in love with this pretty dramatic design, I'm worried it might be too much.

Also, they have gotten pretty dusty because I was a dummy and didn't store them in their box and since they are satin, well, this may be a moot question because it's possible they are ruined. If I have to repurchase, should I get this pair, or something different? I can also get this exact pair in all black. What do you think?

I think it'll be fine. Your shoes don't really show, anyway.

I actually think the red/black shoes would work just fine. It's a pop of color which I think would go well with the dramatic look of your dress. If you want to play it down a bit then the black would be nice as well. The shoes are very pretty by the way.

I think they'll be fine too and your baby is so adorable.

I think they'll be just fine - like PPs said, people aren't going to see your shoes much anyways because you have a long dress.

I think those would look great with your dress.

<div>The phrase I bolded makes me nervous for you, so I just wanted to double check what you mean exactly by "custom-made." If you mean something like you have a seamstress making it for you, that's one thing. But if you mean one of the knock-off sites that ships from China I will strongly caution and advise you against it. I've seen so many horror stories of girls ordering from these sites, receiving something totally unwearable, and having to scramble at the last moment to find an alternate option.</div><div>
</div><div>As far as the shoes, I think they are awesome and, as a PP said, they fit <em>very well</em> with the drama of your dress. :)</div>
