Perfect! Love them both separately and together.

Very smart looking.

Both look pretty and seem appropriate for the event

Okay - good to know you all approve. I'm waiting for another size in the dress - first one fits and looks nice but thinking I might like one a little less clingy as long as it doesn't fit like a sack. Once I decide on that I'll order the shoes and see if they work. Then it's on to a blingy handbag. Gad, if I get all this I hope I have some other opportunity to wear it again before I die...hopefully another wedding during a non-blazing hot time of year with a different crowd.

Lovely! I ended up really liking the dress I bought for a wedding last October. I haven't worn it since but I definitely would again.

That dress is gorgeous. The shoes are nice but that dress....

Dress is drop-dead gorgeous! The shoes? Not so much for me...I'd look for a metallic or a contrast color.

I bet that dress is uber-flattering!

Dress is great. The shoes are a little too “pretty” for the dress. I’d opt of a simple strappy sandal in metallic, black patent or blue satin.

Love the dress, but agree about more simple, scrappy sandals!

Dress is great, I still like shoes that match leg color, not dress color.

Okay - I'll do some more looking for shoes. I did first look for some kind of understated metallic based on previous advice here but haven't found any. I'll keep looking. I can't wear much of a heel so that limits a lot of the cute, strappy ones. Another color would be more versatile than these.

This is virtually the same shoe I think. I still would prefere nude tho.

Do a search on kitten heel slingback nude

I love the navy kitten heels! Like the dress, too. It's perfect for an April wedding.

Okay I looked a bit more - gotta say I don’t care for leg color shoes. The peep toe kitten heel is cute - pointy toes don’t work on my feet. Maybe I will order a few different pairs from Nordstrom and see how they look and fit.

Great dress, I think it calls for a higher heeled shoe, in navy of course!

That's a gorgeous and perfect dress for a wedding in April (at least around here)! If you look at the model, you can see how fabulous lighter (leg colored) shoes can look, esp with a dark dress. But if you don't want that, I think the shoes you selected are wonderful. If the colors work, you may just have the complete outfit selected.

Wow, if only I could wear such a dress!

And Olychick is right, I think you could go with a lighter shade shoe as it makes the legs look longer. But I also like the navy shoes at the link.

LOL at "leg color" shoes. I can understand why you like the shoe you chose, and find it prettier than a nude shoe. The issue is not which shoe is prettier in and of itself. The issue is how you look. If I were you I'd just order a pair to try them and compare. It may not make a difference to you or, you may learn you like "leg color" shoes on even if they are un remarkable off!

I am very tempted to order that dress for a wedding. Maybe I’ll order two sizes, I don’t like anything clingy. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

What a great dress-- and reasonably priced. I am halfway tempted to order it (or scout it out IRL) because finding a nice appropriate dress that is not sleeveless is not always the easiest thing. I probably won't do that- but it would be smart to because experience tells me that when I "NEED" a dress I cannot find one. (I have been doing well with my little black dress with cap sleeves by RL for a few years now-- but it is getting a bit old and I think I have worn it to everything so something new might be in order)..

sigh... I might have mentioned this before but my mother used to have a saying" your closet needs it".... and she was right. when I did come across something like my little black dress- which at the time I had no need for------and I actually bought it--- and thn did not wear it for several seasons and then suddenly- occassions came up and I must have worn it now like 10 times over the years. I always remember her wisdom.

Anyway didn't mean to hijack the thread- but I think the dress is great and which ever of the shoes you go with as long as they are comfy I think it's a win.

I actually ordered four dresses, all from Macy's. They were all not too bad though I thought two of them made me look more matronly so I'm returning them. I may keep the other one that I liked just as you say to have it on hand if needed. The other one is less formal. Other dress

Today I ordered three pairs of shoes to try - two navy and one pewter metallic. I just couldn't bring myself to buy caucasian flesh tone shoes. So maybe by the end of next week I'll have everything and know for sure if I can proceed to buy the blingy hand bag.

I have been on an unprecedented shopping spree, starting with my tropical vacation attire. I think it has something to do with my previous post about delaying things you would enjoy when you could just do them before it's too late to enjoy them. When I bought the four dresses I also bought DH seven sport coats - all these things on sale. He wears a sport coat just about every day of his life and hasn't bought a new one in 10-15 years. So it was going to be a shop at home experience for us - try all these things at home and then return the stuff we didn't want to the local Macy's. He kept six of the sport coats - clearly a lifetime supply for a 61 year old.

This bizarre purchase apparently triggered the fraud alarms. First I found out my Macy's card had been cancelled for lack of use. Then my Visa card was rejected. Finally I was able to make the purchase with AmEx - a card I only obtained recently. Then the next day I get a call from Macy's that my purchase was on hold until I called - apparently another fraud check. Finally after trying and failing to buy the stuff online, spending thirty minutes buying by phone and then another verification call the next day my shipment was on the way. Still easier than trying to find anything I want in a local store and I don't know if I could even get DH inside a clothing store any more.

I do bulk shopping at the Rack, then we try it on at home. We have a glass of wine, then a fashion show. I’m sure this is what my husband imagined marriage was like when he was a horny 20 year old man.....

LOL - probably not.....If I ever do something like this again I'll have to remember the wine.

I am not usually a big fan of Macy's, but they have made it soooo easy to buy online and return things in person there. Makes me think twice.

Buying multiples is one of the fraud triggers. I once bought my DH ten RL golf shirts, half white, half navy. It wasn't the amount, it was the multiples that triggered it.

I can’t say I’ve found it easy to purchase online at Macys. Aside from the credit card issues I find their website buggy. Maybe not very compatible with Firefox. It is nice to know you can return locally though without paying return shipping costs.

I ordered the navy dress, in two sizes, using my Macy’s card, without a problem. I plan to return one to the local store. I would prefer to go to the store and just try it on but the dress wasn’t carried in a store within 50 miles from me.

I don’t know what I’ll do for shoes. The only time I didn’t dislike the look of nude shoes was at a wedding, hours into it I realized the bridesmaids were all in a nude shoe that was so perfectly colored they weren’t noticeable. Too often the color is off and it screams “LOOK! A NUDE SHOE THAT YOU AREN’T SUPPOSE TO NOTICE.”

Thanks again for bringing this dress to my attention.

Hope it works out hhireno.

Maybe my computer is buggy....I have problems getting the filters to work at macys.com. Some work, some I click on and they just don't do anything. Happened several times. I might try with a different browser next time.

I had the advantage of going right to the dress you linked, deciding I loved it, and needed it, then selected a size, and added it to the cart. I didn’t need to browse the site so I didn’t run into any of the problems you had.
