Fashion help needed - wedding guest

6 replies

I'm attending my friend's son's wedding next month - it's a country do, smart but informal (no morning suits).

I had something like this Fenn Wright & Manson dress in mind but it's out of stock anyway.

dress

I'm 5'2", 10 stone, auburn hair, good legs, not so good arms so will need a jacket, bolero, etc. Max £150 for dress.

I need help and inspiration - please!

That link isn't working. Can you try again?
What size are you in dresses?
What sort of styles do you like?

Pants I think because they're out of stock at John Lewis the link doesn't work - maybe this will

Depending on label I'm 12/14, nothing too frilly or figure-hugging, or 50s-style cinched waist, flared skirt.

I liked the look of this Hobbs dress but it was far too long as I'm 5'2", also it was a bit wishy-washy - I just liked the gently-flared shape.

And I'm a brunette, don't where I got auburn from!

I think you can probably find something nicer than that Hobbs one. As you say, it's a bit wishy-washy. This one is bolder.

Phase Eight currently has 25% off dresses. How about this one? I would swap the ribbon belt for a fine leather one, to make it a little less girly.

Or a half price, silk FWM

Jigsaw blue floral

Very bright, not sure about the back detail

Just one more: here

And this one, similar in style to your original FWM.

Now I have stopped!

Thank you for those suggestions! Smile

I like them all apart from the tea dress. I'm working tomorrow so will get cracking again and hit the shops on Monday!
