Need help styling my plain dress
(the dress is in black, I just added the second photo to show the back of it)
So, I had a hell of a time finding a dress. I knew I didn't want to wear white and I needed to try it on in person as my body does not fit any conventional sizes. As much as I wanted a big elaborate gown, I knew it wouldn't fit the venue (we're having a micro-wedding at a small wedding studio then going out to dinner afterwards). I found this dress this weekend at David's Bridal and I like it but I'm not wow'd by it. It was more of a "I need to choose something because this stress is killing me" purchase, and because I need alterations we're already cutting it close as the wedding is at the end of July.
All that to say, I would love some ideas and inspiration how to give this outfit more character. I lean towards more goth/punk aesthetic but wouldn't mind soft romantic. I'm thinking of maybe adding a veil or some interesting jewelry, maybe a shawl/wrap of some sort. I'm also going crazy searching for shoes as I can only wear short heels at most as I'm disabled and can barely walk in normal shoes as it is. I would appreciate any and all advice, suggestions, or inspiration!
