Best Shoes for a Formal Dress

I need help…lots of help with this.

Hi Cindy,
We think your dress is really pretty and you’re going to look beautiful in it!

Here are some shoe ideas: what to look for and what to steer clear of.

If you choose a pretty shoe in a skin tone or soft pink you will find that you have put the emphasis on the dress, which is a good thing.  However, the bonus with a skin tone shoe is that it will lengthen your legs!

Trying to match your purse and shoe can be dangerous.  While we like the sparkle on your handbag, trying to match it with a shiny shoe will be just too much.  Instead, keep it classy with a satin or leather shoe.

Cindy, you mentioned that you will be doing a lot of walking and didn’t want to wear too high of a heel.  Here is a nice option that is feminine and will be the right style with your dress.  We like the way the front of the shoe echoes the draping in your dress.

OK, so these look like they might match and be comfy but we can assure you that most shoes that have straps end up being a killer.   Also, because your dress is made with a fabric that looks like heavy satin you will want to make sure the shoe balances it.  These sandals are too light looking and would work better with something made of a lighter or sheer fabric. (Available for a limited time www.shoes.com)
