Please help me pick a wedding outfit! (with pics)

[PaulaLollie]

I will attend a friend's wedding in Italy this summer (it will be boiling hot) and I don't know what to wear! Anyone else finds that summer dresses make them feel like a white, graceless whale?

Anyway, I have three potential outfit options so far. Which one do you prefer? If you don't like any of them, please feel free to suggest another style (shopping for new clothes for this event could be on the cards). I am open to any suggestions!

Thank you so much!!

I love number two but I think three is probably the most flattering. I think the first washes you out a little, it's a bit pale.

The first as it looks the lightest and most boiling hot friendly. Love your style.

And your floor!

Not keen on no.1
No. 2 lovely but may be a little too hot?
No.3 is it black? I like the style of it but if it’s black maybe not for a wedding. Navy okay if you can dress it up with say bright pink shoes and matching bag?

Number one completely washes out your skin but could look lovely if you have a tan.
Number two is the nicest but it may be a bit hot.
Not keen on number 3.

Two is lovely but probably too hot. Three is nice but with different shoes.

No.1 looks a bit wishy washy
No.2 I really like, but depends on fabric if it’s really thick etc could be really hot.
No.3 is nice but don’t love it.

Also meant to say I love your floor!

No 3 definitely!

You look like you have a lovely figure, one is the wrong colour on you, two looks like it swamps you and three is just too black....
Hang on, let me look for something, could I ask what colour is your hair and what your budget is please?

Number 1.
Number 2 is lovely but you'll be sweating.

No.2 the colours are great on you. Might be too warm with the sleeves.

Agree No.1 washes you out - too similar to your natural skin colour. It is a lovely dress though.

I love the shape of 3 but black will be awful in heat. I like 1 but would you consider a spray tan?

Gettingthere my hair is dark blonde and in a pixie cut (attached pic of similar cut). My budget is up to £250 I'd say!

You have bloody lovely fashion sense, all those dresses really suit you. I like 1 best if you had a bit of a tan, or 2 otherwise.

I really like number two but am hot just thinking about you wearing that at an italian summer wedding!!

If you’re prepared to reassess then maybe have a look at longer maxi-style dresses or even a wide-leg jumpsuit type affair? I think I would go down a bold floral/patterned maxi route - longer dresses somehow feel cooler for me in the heat. Also, could you get a chic sunhat?

green

Yes on reflection colour for number one isn't the most flattering on you but the cut is lovely.

Is it an Italian wedding or an Engligh wedding in Italy? I ask because at every Italian wedding I've seen the guests have always been amazingly stylish - think Gucci advert, so that might influence your outfit. Also black is a totally acceptable colour for weddings in Italy.

They are all gorgeous, so I'm no help whatsoever.

In pic one, are you wearing white tights. or is it just the camera? Your legs look v white compared to your arms. With a bit of fake tan on your legs, I think that one would be my choice. You;d probably roast in 2, and 3 would be great for evening but not so good for daytime.

I like 1. You look lovely in it.

2 is too hot and 3 not as nice a fit / plain.

Number 1 Nice and pretty but not very stylish.
Number 2 A bit matronly and too hot.
Number 3 Fab with some bright jazzy accessories, maybe bright turquoise or cream, perhaps a cream hat with black trim.

Is the wedding in a city or rural setting? If it's in the country then dress Number 1 might work best.

I agree that black is a popular choice for any occasion in Italy.

Uuuhhh gettingthere I like your suggestion a lot

The wedding is an actual Italian wedding (as opposed to a British wedding in Italy!) and it will be in the countryside. I reckon everyone else will be 100 times more stylish than me
