Strappy occasion dress

12 replies

I'm looking for a scrappy dress to wear to a summer wedding. Budget up to £200 if it's perfect. The kind of style I'm looking for is the dress the girl on the left is wearing - strappy and camisole ish on top and not bodycon or super tight. Knee length or midi and I don't mind about the colours too much but not black or white.

I am 5'6", size 8, pale brown skin and dark brown hair. Please help I can't find anything at all!

I don't really want a maxi dress and think that looks to casual. That kind of style but shorter and bit more glam?

They’re surprisingly hard to find, aren’t they?

Can’t find a silky strapped one but this is quite nice.

Thanks for the suggestions I really like the style of the Phase 8 one just not the colour- it's going to be a summer seaside wedding so think the bottle green is a bit dark. Why is this so difficult?!

Not sure what the fabric of this one would be like but it’s pretty

This seems the right shape maybe, but not fabric. It does seem really hard

Sorry I'm rubbish at links!

Floral

@BigFatBloomers that floral one won't come up for me!

I like the asos style but I have a feeling it will be that static cheap polyester material.

I've tried everywhere I'm beginning to think they just don't exist.

Try this link. It’s & Other Stories floral wrap dress, if it doesn’t work.
It’s not quite what you want.

Really surprised it’s so hard.
