Self tanner?! Wow that would wash most out.

I really don't think it needs much. If you can get heels and a bag in one of the shades of the dress, that would be great. Perhaps a light cardigan in a deeper green or a taupe trench in case it rains. I wouldn't do much in the way of jewelry.

Thank you for your suggestions

This is a very tough fabric and style to make work unless you are 70+. What about this - it’s the same A-line silhouette but softened up a bit and a lot more modern

But it's hideous. I prefer OP's.

My kid’s graduation was outdoors at a football stadium, so your dress would have been too evening-ware for me. Sundresses were more the norm. Maybe you need to tell us about YOUR graduation.

Probably centers whiteness all the time, but vehemently denies being racist…

That's a pretty dress, OP. I would keep accessories to an absolute minimum -- simple heeled sandals, wedding ring if you wear one, studs or tiny hoops, and maybe a thin watch or bracelet.

I think it’s a pretty dress (cut and style), but like PP said maybe too formal (fabric). If you already have it, it’s great. Does your hair have more contrast to the dress color than the model’s?

I think earrings and a bracelet. That neckline doesn’t tolerate a necklace. Subtle purse.

Have fun!

It’s… definitely a choice.

You think OP's choice is geriatric and not this monstrosity?
