The Med Posted December 4, 2017 #4 Share Posted December 4, 2017 If you have a gold dress then I personally wouldn't wear a shawl or anything with it. However if you feel the cold and must have something then try and match with another gold colour. I would never put a black shawl with a gold dress. It will drain the gold. At this time of the year there is so much out gold out there. Just google "gold shawl". Hope that you find something gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosebear Mum Posted December 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I agree with The Med. I bought a gold sequeny bolero to go with my gold dress. Luckily the two shades are as identical as can be, so match. I think black would detract the eyes from the dress, and cream could look washed out, so take care there. To be honest, in the main, the ships are warm, so you may not need anything. If it’s for after dinner in the theatre, etc, for where air con can on some ships be a bit high, then it won’t matter what you use as no one else will really see it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florry Posted December 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted December 4, 2017 You could try Debenhams and TK Max too. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenny wren Posted December 5, 2017 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Perhaps black wouldn't look right on second thoughts, but my cream sparkly shawl is very useful with all colours and doesn't detract from the outfit.....it will be hard (and costly?) to match, so best to contrast.....in my opinion of course !!

tartanexile81 Posted December 5, 2017 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Debenhams has a gold embellished shrug in their sale. Pretty see through so you might get away with a slight difference in colour as the dress would shine through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobs Posted December 6, 2017 #9 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I would go for a shear sparkly wrap no colour so no clash mine is the most used shawl I have because it doesn't clash with anything other than looks grubby next to my white evening dress so never use it then Hope this helps the material is a voile type material which I bought from John Lewis and made into a shawl. A sewing shop would hem for a few quid I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
