I just sewed myself a knockoff of this Kate Spade dress, but the skirt of my dress is pencil shaped and in a light blue/orange/white lighweight tweed.

I noticed that Emma Pillsbury recently wore a different colorway of the dress on Glee with a cardigan.

I have been wondering how a short sleeved orange jacket to go with the orange in dress from this pattern would look with the dress? For some reason I can't post the pic, but here is the link:

I just don't want to have that awful JCPenney dress suit vibe happening.

I like how Emma wore it with a cardigan.  The blazer you posted has puffy sleeves and too many other cutesy details, that IMO would be overkill and take away from the already cute dress.  I love how the cardigan just adds a little touch and helps showcase the pretty ruffles.  It also doesn't hide the definition of the dress. I vote for cardigan!  As far as what color, depends on what color you made the band.  I really like that you did the skirt in a pencil shape.  It sounds really pretty - thread style it!

ITA. The jacket plus that jabot would be too much.

Agree with everyone else. The cardi lets the dress shine.
