    Do you think this bolero would coordinate with this dress? I've already purchased the dress. I found the bolero on Etsy and love it, just not sure if they would look good together.

    The dress picture didn't show up.  Try uploading it with the link of the tree next to the HTML link on the text box.

    I say no. Your gown has too deep of a neckline for that bolero. In my opinion, you shouldn't wear one with your gown. If you have to wear one, then I would go with a simpler style in a more sheer fabric.

    Agreed with noritake.  Your gown is more formal/classy than the bolero because of the frillyness and also the type of material doesn't seem to match.

    I agree too. Your dress is giorgeous,but that bolero doesn't really compliment it in style or fabric.

    I also agree with noritake. I absolutely love that dress though. With a nice detailed neckline like that, there is no need to hide it!

    Agreed with the rest, the bolero is too heavy of a fabric and not the right cut to match your gown - at least in the photo.

    Have you considered a wrap to go with your dress? The dress is very sexy and a bolero might not be the right combination, a wrap would go nicely I think. I guess it depends on whether you're looking for a bolero for the look, for modesty or for warmth.

    My first thought is that the v in your dress may not match well it.

    I agree with PP.  Both are lovely, but not together.  Maybe wear the bolero to your rehersal dinner?

    Then again... click on, under Related Posts, the first one "Part 2! My Dress With the Bolero! and you'll see a dress with a similar shape/V-neck and a very similar bolero and it looks stunning.

    I agree with the neck line being too low for the bolero
