Is this dress ok for an evening wedding reception?

[FauxFox]

here? With black tights and heels as in the pic.

And does any one know what the sizing is like on pied a terre?

Yes absolutely.

It's a no from me.

I think the fact that it's jersey makes it look quite office-y. And it's a bit sack like.

Depends on the wedding IMO. If it's a v fancy venue/affair, probably not dressy enough, otherwise I'm sure it will be fine.

Hmm, not sure. I think I need to see it irl to decide. I need something for a wedding reception next Sat night and i'd really like a dress with sleeves that can also be used for evenings out at bars/restaurants or smartish days out through the winter...struggling to find something that does it for me...is this any better do we think? Any suggestions? I'm an hourglass size 12 with dark brown hair. I do not want black.

I still like the first link bu would say Definitely the second one for preference.

That one is better but, again, a bit worky for me.

Not sure either shape would hugely flatter an hourglass shape.

Do you prefer print to plain? What colours are best?

honestly, dont like either, sorry. second is worse than first imo, but first is too day-time. What about This?

Prefer print or colour block (not all one colour) not black (because wedding) and most colours are good except acid tones and nude tones which wash me out - greens/blues/reds are all good

And I definitely want a half or full sleeve.

Thanks for looking

Have to feed DD now but your starters for ten!

Mary Portas

On the right lines or waaaay off?!

I like your second one best.

I think it's not smart enough for a wedding.

Sorry bunny I don't like those at all - too frumpy - i'm only 34 years young

Doh!

They are a tad....mature. Back to the drawing board

this? pushing my budget a bit now

I really like the Mary Portas one and I am 26.

This is lovely but similarly ££

I love this but aware not everyone shares my passion for all things 40's

Great shape for an hourglass!

French Connection

Found a beauty in Whistles but it's sold out online. This is it?

Sorry, I don't think any of those are "evening" enough. What about this? Should be good on an hourglass shape.

Not sure how the drawstring waist would work with your hourglass size 12, but it looks as though it could be dressed up with beautiful jewellery and shoes.

imo thats too casusal for a wedding but depends on how you normally guess, and how close you are to the couple i suppose ie if your normlly in jeans 24/7 and v good friends of the coupke they will think youve made an effort iyswim

I think the OP wants something smart and re-wearable rather than full on wedding guest eryan.

And with half or full sleeves.

And that boden frock is grannytastic.
