Thoughts on these dresses for a Summer wedding?

[itstheyearzero]

I'm sick of looking now! It's my best friend's wedding in late Summer, and I have bought and returned quite a few dresses already! I'm 47, 5'7", size 12, pale with long dark hair. Are any of these OK? I suit a more classic style and hate anything frilly, sleeveless or too flowery. Honest opinions please!

But they are all nice

[Izzy24]

They’re all lovely.

Except the first one which I think is a bit elderly.

They're a bit more with term wedding imo.

Urgh *winter wedding!

I know, the colours don't really scream Summer do they? I too prefer the wrap dresses, the blue one more so than the one in wine. I so suit wrap dresses, but finding one that is summery/not frilly/has sleeves is proving to be quite difficult! I ordered a beautiful one from ASOS but it was in 'blush' and it made me look dead. They don't do it in any other colours either. Drat!

I like 3 best, and 4 least. I mean, I like 4 but it looks a bit more 'evening-y' to me than the others. I can't really see the red one as it has some 'offer' screen in front which I can't get to close

All nice though.

[dontticklethetoad]

They are lovely, very classy. Just not summery.

What about a bardot dress?

[TowerRose]

I'm not too keen on dress 4, the rest are lovely though, I would probably go with dress 3 but you couldn't go wrong with any

[itstheyearzero]

I'm not keen on Bardot dresses toad because I need to wear a bra (I'm quite big up top for my frame) and preferably I'd like to wear my M&S shape wear to suck me in a bit!

[PrimalLass]

I like 3 or 4 best for summer.

[HildaZelda]

I think they're all lovely dresses, but I agree with the others who have said they're more 'winter wedding'.

[dahliaaa]

I think the wrap dresses look much more like summer dresses than the other two.

[Cliveybaby]

I don't like the red but the others are nice.
Do you know the bridesmaids colours? - just cos they're a little bridesmaidy and better not to pick the same!

[Belindabauer]

I !like 2 and 3 best.
I think blue is easier to wear but red can look better.
Depends On the exact shade of red, so order both and then try on.

[CountTessa]

I'm tempted to get dress 3 for my parents wedding anniversary. Especially at that price

[Swimminguphill]

I think the red one does look summery, it’s nice and bright.

[BigFatBloomers]

I think the blue wrap is lovely and could definitely be summery. I think it worth ordering so you can try it on.

I don’t think the grey background in the photos is helping you think ‘summer wedding’

[DianaT1969]

Isn't it early to buy it? For a late summer wedding you should have more choice in the shops in a month. I see stores such as Ted Baker are only just starting to get in summer collections.

[Mulberrysilk]

I think you are too young for these dresses.

[RatherBeRiding]

2 or 3, but none of them make me think of summer weddings!

[Thiswayorthatway]

2 or 3, both perfectly suitable for a summer wedding!
