Fashion experts: Color that will compliment this fabric?
I'm making a dress in this style

using this patterned fabric

and need to make a sash which will loop through the top of the dress but can't decide on a color. What solid color sash do you think would best compliment the bodice of this dress using that fabric?
FYI: On closer inspection, it seems that the color inside those flower-like graphics on the dress are more like a pale gold.
Thanks!
Nutmeg, cilantro, sage, mint, thyme... these are a few of my favorite things!

We have four children; one left us too soon.
Re: Fashion experts: Color that will compliment this fabric?
I think the royal blue, black, or white could all work for the sash/tie. However, have you considered doing the dress in a solid black or royal blue and making the sash out of the patterned fabric?
I just see this dress as being very loose fitting and with a fabric pattern such as this with so many large shapes, it might appear big all over and not very becoming when worn. With a solid color as the main staple (like in the pic you provided) it would probably be more sophisicated looking as well as slimming. Just my two cents...
This was my first question, too. I'm hung up on using this style of dress for an adult.

I made one for my 30 year old niece in a chocolate brown silk linen sans the goofy bow. She belts it with a matte pewter belt; it looks surprisingly chic with flat sandals for really hot weather.
