I'm going to a wedding in southern Europe in July. Last year I went to a summer wedding in Spain and wore something like this but in a different colour, not on sale anymore. I loved it and got lots of compliments, but was sweaty and so hot as it's tight round the top and you wear it with a petticoat.

I have no fashion sense at all so don't even know where to start looking. I'd like something pretty but suitable for hot climates. Suitable for wearing in church. Any ideas?

How about something like this? Pretty, light and made of a cotton mix material so won’t be sweaty.

Oh, that looks nice, thanks. It's a bit shorter than I feel comfortable with, but I'll look at it in store to see what it's like on - maybe it just looks short on the model because she's so leggy! It does look pretty.

I'm a comfort over style kinda gal.

I like the look of this. Looks floaty and cool

I'd probably go for something like this, which is 97% cotton with elastene for comfort. I'm a casual kinda girl though, and for me this would be about as dressy as it gets.

Thanks both. The Tu one looks nice, probably not dressy enough for me for a wedding but I might but it anyway at that price just to have around. I'd have to look at the other John Lewis one irl to see what shade it is - the first pic looks a nice dark pink, which would probably suit me (like I know, hah!) but the others make it look a bit wishy-washy, I'm not a massive fan of pastels.
