If you were...

[indisdress]

A 5ft 2, size 10, blonde, green/brown eyed 36 year old wedding guest, which of these dresses would be your preference and what would you style it with?

I vote burgundy ( or the navy or green version). Absolutely gorgeous and, incidentally, good for creating the impression of boobs, with boobs you'd look like a harlot in it due to the plunge.

And also, if you are 5'2" and a size 10 you are not a 34B, you'll probably be a 30D (I'm the same height and size and the only time I was a 34 back was when I was heavily pregnant and the baby was pushing up and stretching my ribcage, currently a 30FF).

I doubt I'm a D, but fair point. I don't know when I was last measured, if ever!

Yay Green!!!

It's arrived. Excuse the crap lighting (bedroom bulb blew and had to stick a 40w in 🙄)

I think with better pants, it's acceptable? It's not cut in a way that shows up my pancake boobs too badly.

It’s gorgeous! You look like a movie star! You’ll knock their socks off!

Is that green or blue? It looks good but the colour isn't showing

Love it. Fits so nicely.

Fits you like a dream, it’s gorgeous.

Where's it from, I love it.

Colour looks beautiful! Glad you went for green

Oh, thank you folks!

It's from Pretty Kitty. And it's the green one. But if I feel good in it, I think I'll buy in it one of the other colours too (for Xmas night out).

Just need to figure out shoes, jacket, etc?

I love it, it looks fantastic!

Do you think I need a couple of inches off? My legs look stumpy. (Those ankle straps maybe don't help)

Bumping for ideas on what accessories etc to wear with this, and what to do about the length. 🙏

It's gorgeous and it's the perfect length on you. I'd love it myself but at 5'11" it's going to be far too short on me isn't it?

I'd say so @ScarlettDarling

Oh thanks OP, you just found my Christmas party dress!

Looks great. But because velvet/velour I think you need less delicate shoes with it. Either a closed toe or a peep toe rather than open sandal. I like the length on you by the way. Midi is still in as far as I am aware and suits the cut of the dress

Okay, what about these? Too much green? Would use with a black sparkly clutch.

Ooh, the shoes would pull look together, but I'm still envisioning patent. You'd then be able to wear them with the burgundy one too. (Which you should definitely buy!)
As for the length, I think it gives the dress the right 40/50s vibe. The ankle straps have a shortening effect on your legs, so a different shoe will help.
Regarding a jacket, not sure. The sleeves are a major feature, can you get away without one? Otherwise a bolero style of some description? You could carry that off because you are so petite.

Thanks @hopingforhappiness Do you mean black patent?

I was thinking bolero type, or even just a black pashmina with a bit of sparkle, if possible? The whole wedding is in one place, so I'll literally need something for getting on the bus and then back off, and I don't want to spend more than I really have to. (Whereas shoes, I'll get lots of use out of)

Definitely black patent!
I'd just go for a black pashmina at most and blow the budget on shoes and bag.
You're going to look gorgeous.

I wouldn't have sparkle on the wrap/pashmina.

It looks lovely! Don't alter at all, I love the length on you, it's very elegant and chic. I don't think your legs look stumpy at all, they look lovely and slim.

I second the pointy court shoes in dark leather or patent and I would recommend a box bag (mini Audiere) to complete the subtle retro style. Zara and Mango do fantastic designer looking clutch bags for a really good price.

I don't think you even need a wrap, very dated and you've got the sleeves and dress looks thick and warm.

Wow that dress and shoes are absolutely fierce!!! You are going to look amazing.
