It is indeed the perfect dress. I have that dress in black with 3/4 sleeves, and in red with long sleeves. It is indeed the perfect dress.

The boots you chose are pretty, but in the same sense the Banana look vinyl-ly, those look plastic-y. To each her own!!! :) Mywhimsey, thanks! I personally like those the best of all Banana's boots right now. And to Bon Mot's credit, I too have found Banana shoes to be decently comfortable and extremely durable and long-lasting. Moderate price, too. Wannabe, I just figured that since the questioner wanted boots to dress it down…need I say more?

I have to recommend them for a reason other than looking fab with a wrap dress, though. I'm 6'2" tall, and have a horrible time finding knee high boots that fit. These are a dream for taller girls or those with slightly wider than average calves who still want to tuck pants in to them (if you go for that look). la petite chou chou, I love those boots and, in fact, own them in a different color.

But may I say, Pliners are unusually comfortable and easy to walk in. Even the high heels (though I think my version may be an inch lower, to be honest). I own them in 2 colors. Thank you Verity!

It's a little bit glam, a little bit dominatrix. Love those, although the 3 1/4 inch stiletto heel might be a little bit difficult for actual walking. Maybe they are more "sitting down and looking fabulous" boots. = ) Those Donald Pliners are fabulous, Wannabe!! It’s a little bit glam, a little bit dominatrix.

Although I am the most humble fan of the Manolo, I agree with tout le monde that the heel of the boots, they are most wrong. I regret, however, that I cannot jump on the Banana Republic bandwagon -- the boots they may be leather, yet they look like the vinyl, at least in the picture, and the heel of the different color from the leg it is unseemly for a dress not made of denim. As for the boots I wear with my wrap dress, http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/16756114/c/4811.html Oh yeah, baby. Ayiyyyyy!

May I add that I've found Banana Republic footwear to be a remarkably good value: quality leathers, long-lasting construction, comfortable lasts that actually accommodate the human foot. I wish I could say the same for the rest of the Banana wardrobe. I second La Petite Chou Chou’s vote for the Banana boots–that dress cries out for the higher heel.

They look good on most women. As for those boots....aye Manolo. I don't really know if I like them or hate them. It's like the chain and the heel are too much at once.

The chain will be much less distracting when it's down by the ground, and the boots themselves have a lovely silhouette. Although this is not the little black dress solution for the larger-than-model-sized super fantastic woman, the dress will not flatter and the boots won't fit over her calves.
