Help me find a bridesmaids dress!

Bridesmaid for an outdoor wedding in August, bride has specified colour and length but I'm free to chose style. I need a maxi length dress in a dusky blue, quite formal. I'm quite tall (5ft 10) and high street maxi dresses always seem too short for me. Tried on ghost dresses but found them a little too unforgiving of lumps and bumps. Any ideas?

That should've said I'm not sure!

Phase 8 are hit and miss on length, I'm a bit taller than you and have one maxi dress from there that is a bit short and one that trails on the ground!

This last made to measure one from JL comes in a variety of styles & shades so worth having a look at all the styles on the website if you like the colour.

Also, JL are price matching (dont kn0w if it's today only) so if you like the phase 8 dresses, worth looking on there to see if they're cheaper

Another Phase 8 dress

And another

Adrianna Pappell

More expensive Phase 8 dress

Bigger sizes only

M&S!!

Also M&S! Colour might not be right, but worth a look in person?

Woah! Thanks, there are loads here I like. I'm a large size 12 (hopefully a comfortable size 12 by august) and budget is up to about £200. I don't mind paying a bit extra for a dress that makes me feel confident though. LOVE the Adriana Pappell dresses but they are too sparkly and the brides dress is really simple. Will hit phase 8, monsoon and M&S tomorrow.
