The magical dress looks terrific on you, Chris! I am biased, but I am another in favour of leaving the length for now. I left the length with my own dress on forum advice, and I think it's a pretty similar length on me.
I like all those shoes with the dress and figure you have others you can also try. The bags look good, too, for different types of outfits -- the blue one would be a fun contrast.
Angie has given me some styling ideas with those toppers. I hadn't come up with a plan for that yet. Interesting to see she is wearing it with an actual blazer. Hmmmm.....
For footwear, I've got quite a few options, depending on weather, occasion, etc. These are the ones I'm thinking of, below. I'm not sure about the sharft heights of several of these booties vis a vis the dress. I'll need to check on that.
I've got fewer bags to choose from and might have to remedy that. I do have a bright pink clutch/ crossbody, and also a leopard print/ black clutch. And a silvery clutch for dressy events.
