Una, so this means I should not go to the cobbler?

#3 swayed me into "keep" territory for the dress. I think that once you style it, it will really work for you. Hooray!

Love the dress! I think the color of the Julia's clashes with your skin tone and I haven't seen them together with an outfit in your wardrobe yet where I was excited about them. Seems like lace-ups are trending this F/W, so maybe you will be able to find a different pair? I could see Timberland doing something similar, like Rae said.

Una I couldn't stop thinking about this dress. So I'm back! Having slept on it, I think the success of this dress is in styling and keeping it simple. I do love the dress, and the fit and cut is gorgeous on you. So I'm casting my vote to keep.
