I've just bought this dress from Jigsaw in the JL sale www.jigsaw-online.com/product/block-stripe-dress/J32588_GY065
It's silk, loose and will be cool to wear if it happens to be roasting on August bank holiday Saturday ( the day of the wedding). I'm 54, size 12/14, 5ft 6, with cropped silver/grey hair.
I'm really pleased with the dress (it has pockets!), I don't like things that are floral, frilly or pastel so wedding guest dress shopping is usually a nightmare for me.
I need to find shoes, a clutch bag, maybe a necklace. Hats don't look good on me with my v short hair, so I doubt I'll wear one, unless anyone has some great suggestions.
I have navy court shoes and some nude, kitten heel sling-backs but they seem a bit boring. I can't do high heels, 2 inches maximum, and they have to be comfortable. I have a navy clutch, but would it look better if I had one in the pink colour?
It's our Godson's wedding. Church ceremony followed by a reception In the Dorset countryside.
