I would choose something in beige or black. A shawl would work as well.

Already bought the sweater at j Jill that was striped to go with this. I bought a medium

Light weight, slightly below the waist type worked well for me. JJill has some great ones to choose from.

The catalogue showed a white. I decided to wait and see the dress first. After receiving it in Sea Green, I think the best color is still white because it brings out the Sea Green color and does not argue with it. However, I looked through my collection of scarves, which I never seem to have time to fiddle with. and found one in silk with multi tones of blue and that same sea green color. It is oblong and looks great with the dress. Because it is not a large or lengthy scarf, it has just the right accent without taking away from the dress. If I did not find the scarf, I would have ordered one of JJill's white sweaters.

Reading from the tag on the dress: 56% Pima Cotton; 38% Modal; 6% Spandex. It feels like smooth, silky cotton. I don't care for man-made fibers, but this one is an excellent mixture and is necessary to provide the kind of fit and look of the dress.

SILK

I would wash it in cold water and then only leave in dryer for five to ten minutes just to get most of the wrinkles out and then hang to dry. Do not use high heat.

I washed mine by hand, then folded it in half and let it hang till the drips stopped. While it was damp, I put it in the dryer inside out on perma-press setting and let it dry for about a half hour. It was completely dry. I hung it back on the hanger normally. It hung overnight about 8 hours. I ironed it inside out, seams and hem only - cotton setting - because the rest of the garment had only microscopic wrinkles. When I put it on, I did not notice any shrinkage. I would think this dress would be Ok to dry on the lowest setting which has little or no heat, but it would take longer to dry.
