I have a peach slip dress that I wore in the winter with a black ribbed turtleneck and belt.
How can I style the dress now for summer?

I believe that this thread and the one posted yesterday asking about styling a "hot pink, short skirt" were asked by trolls.

Here's Wikipedia's definition of a slip dress:
A slip dress is a woman's dress that closely resembles an underslip or petticoat. It is traditionally cut on the bias, with spaghetti straps. ... The slip dress looked like an undergarment, but was intended to be seen, and through the use of lace and sheer elements, offer glimpses of the body beneath.

They're not.

Personally, I hate the look of "tziniut-ifying" a dress that is intended to be z3xy by putting a shirt under it. But its a real thing that lots of women do. And no one asked my opinion.

And people do wear colors, even bright colors. Not my thing, again. My closet features black and gray, mostly. But most (? some?) decisors hold that bright colors are just fine.

Finally, and AIUI, if you suspect a troll, report, don't say it here.

Mods, feel free to delete.

Why.
On.
EARTH.
Would I ask this if I were a troll?!
Don’t you think I would come up with better questions to ask?????
We obviously have very different fashion tastes. This is VERY in style, so get used to seeing it around.

Shell the same colour or lighter
as dress and denim shirt as a jacket.
If thats too many layers then dark or light denim blouse under the dress.
And a brown braided belt, or a bronze coloured chain belt.
And espadrilles

Can you get a peach shell? I think that would be best. Or else cream. I don't like stark white (but that's just me.)

I also think it would look best if you could match your shell to your belt (or shoes - one but not both).

DSW has a sale on sandals and espadrilles.
And they ship internationally.
My daughter loves the Toms espadrilles.

IMHO It looks like a undergarment, something you would wear under a dress.

Is this the one you own? Curious about fit and quality.

Ya! Obviously, by “peach” I actually meant “beige” hehe. #quarantinebrain

I normally wear size small. This only comes in M and L, so I got the M. It’s a bit loose, but not too baggy, so I belt it.
There are tons of customer pix, so you can kinda scale it.
The quality is very nice! The material is what you’d expect. It has to be steamed to get the creases out before you wear it.
