I'm attending an outdoor wedding in Maine on the water later this summer and have ordered this gingham dress for the occasion. It's not going to be too formal (the groom is wearing seersucker) and the bride and I have a tradition of outdoor picnics, so I thought gingham would be a fun choice. Plus, pockets

I'd need to take it to a tailor and have the top strap shortened (DH put a bobby pin on it for me to simulate the effect) and have cups sewn in so I wouldn't have to fuss with a strapless contraption. It also needs a vigorous steaming

I'll probably wear these cognac platform sandals (for walking on the grass), but would still need a suggestion for a topper - it will likely be quite cool in the evening.

Would love your thoughts! Worth a bit of tailoring or keep searching?
