    Hi hi again! 

    So my dress is Maggie Sottero's Miri. I ordered it in October, and in March, it is coming in! I'd like to have an idea of what accessories I will wear with it before my first fitting, but there are so many beautiful things out there (especially on Etsy!), that I don't know where to start!

    That is the dress! There is some embellishment on the left side of the dress, on the hip. I wish I had a better picture of it.. But I think you get the idea!

    This dress is amazing!!  I would go with something simple so it doesn't take from the dress.

    Good luck finding something Laughing

    OMGoodness I love this dress when I saw it on the model but it looked to foofy on me hehe, I bet it looks amazing on you!!!!! Maybe try a really pretty necklace with small earrings or stunning earrings with no necklace like the model. Sorry I'm no help lol!

    I have the same dress, and have been wondering the same thing! I'm obsessed with statement necklaces but I think it'd be too over the top with the dress, so I'm still exploring. I'm trying to find how similar dresses have been accessorized...

     

    I'm pretty sure I'll buy my girls statement necklaces to wear though, since I love how they look. :)

    @jackieee: Oh wow! That's pretty awesome; I'm glad I'm not the only one! And I'm right with you. I've been oogling tons of statement necklaces, but as you and others have said, I think it'll be too much. I was also looking at the idea of doing a statement necklace for my bridesmaids! Think it would match better with their dresses since they will be more simple :)

    I tried this with MS Paint (spray can tool!)... I'm gonna have to agree with the 50 people who told me that it's way too much. Although I think if the skirt was not as full, it'd be pretty.

    Well, I'm glad I officially decided against it so I can stop going in circles!

    This is also my dress and I have been struggling with this as well.  I LOVE statement necklaces but I am also worried that it will be too much.  I may just go with statement earrings and a bracelet like the model.  I would love to see other real life brides to see what they wore.  There seems to be a lack of real life brides in this dress.

    I agree with PP here; no necklace with some awesome earrings would work best. I just said this to another bee; she also has a stunning "statement gown". Go ahead and wear a statement necklace...at the rehearsal dinner or on your honeymoon!

    I almost bought this dress, love it!

    When I tried it on, I loved it with a thin sparkly belt (like an inch wide or so) that slightly matched the design of the sparkly thingy (i dunno what to call it lol) on the hip and I love how much more it defined my waist. My sister in law thought I was crazy for adding a belt, but she loved it that much more when i added it.

    good luck, its a gorgeous dress! :D

    If you want to do a necklace, I think something like this would look great! Since it's a front cluster necklace I don't think it will take away from the dress:

    Otherwise, I would go with statement earrings and a bracelet:

    Miri is my dress too!  I totally agree with just some dangly earrings and a bracelet.  The dress doesn't need much else!! Smile  Just went for my first fitting today-added a veil, and it's perfect!
