Going to a big wedding in May and really struggling to find a long or 3/4 sleeved dress that doesn't look frumpy.
Does anyone know any websites I could check out?
Would be grateful for any dress suggestions too.

I'm 50 and a size 12, open to most styles, apart from bodycon.
Sleeves are a must due to Psoriasis.

Debenhams have some lovely ones at the moment, I was having a mooch earlier today. I particularly like this one, you could always pin the sleeves. http://m.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod1070111000154488+0456473555-1

That's the sort of shape I had in mind Dreaming
Not too figure hugging, don't want to spend entire day sucking my stomach in.

Don't mind what colour, although I look drained in black.

I really like this one, I would wear this to a wedding

fluentinsarcasm · 25/03/2017 23:41

Some lovely suggestions, thank you.

This could be very pretty for a summer wedding

OlennasWimple · 25/03/2017 23:45

This is beautiful, esp if you have nice legs to show off. Slightly over budget, but look for a blue cross sale day type event to bring it down

fluentinsarcasm · 25/03/2017 23:49

Really like the vintage style Astro suggested but not sure colour will suit me, I'm very pale. What do you think?

OP posts:
OlennasWimple · 25/03/2017 23:55

The vintage dress is lovely, but I am also pale and I think I would look washed out in it. I also think it wouldn't flatter curves and I know the lack of natural fibres would irritate my skin

hahahaIdontgetit · 26/03/2017 08:32

astros dress is lovely, but you couldn't wear a bra, which would take it out of the options for me.
