Hello you lovely lot Smile

Daughters wedding fast approaching and everyones got their outfit apart from me!

I'm late 40's, 5ft 4'' and a size 12 but can't find anything that has given me that "Wow" feeling when I put it on. I'm not keen on the formal suits and would prefer something a little more individual. I've tried Coast, Monsoon etc but just can't find the right thing.....any ideas?

What's your budget?

Any colours you like?

Preferred sleeve & skirt length?

How about this to start?

I'd pay £300 - £400 and a bit more if it was "the" one.

Colours - lilac, navy/cream, silver/blue.

On the knee or bit shorter my calves aren't too bad! I'm hitting the gym to get to grips with my bingo wings so no sleeve/ short sleeve.

I quite like the Issa dress but think it would be too long on me.

Thanks so much tethersend, you have fabulous taste. I'm loving the Van Der Ham dress and may send off for it to try. Thanks
