Another option, a minaudiere is a smaller metal version, which may be quite plain or outrageously glitzy. The clutch such as the one pictured, a Jessica McClintock mirrored minaudiere (Buy Direct), would fit the bill.
Whatever type of clutch you select should coordinate well with your dress, but it need not match your shoes. Matching shoes and purses are considering too "matchy-matchy" currently, so mix it up a bit.
