Well, first things first, the frill on the blouse will fall right over the chest bow, so you'll probably have to wear it without the bow there. Maybe move it to your waist if you really like it.

If you feel like your chest looks a bit empty after removing the bow, I suggest a long necklace that hangs down onto it. The neckline of the blouse suggests that you'll need a choker or a short necklace as well, so layer a few pieces together for an interesting focal point. Alternatively, one of those double bow brooches joined by a string of pearls/a chain also works.

Red and gold are both very eye-catching, bright colours, so it's hard to recommend something that doesn't make it look more gaudy. Don't go overboard on adding too much gold to the outfit.

Option one is to stick to the red-gold-white colour scheme. Get a bag in red, and stick to pearl and/or crystal accessories. For extra attention to detail, stick to gold metal on both the bag and jewellery. You do need to make sure the bag doesn't clash with the dress, but it doesn't need to be a 100% pantone match, just make sure they look like they kind of belong together when you put them side-by-side.

Option 2 is to ground the outfit a little by adding some brown, you can use bronze jewellery instead of gold to help tie it in, and if you can find a bronze brooch that would also help tie a brown bag in. This option is pretty good, there's a lot of cute fairytale jewellery in bronze so you can choose your favorite love story to add to the outfit. (Don't wear three long necklaces at a time though, that's just a shop image for long necklace).
