Looking for a dress for August wedding

[DiaryofWimpyMumm]

I'm a size 12 and around 5ft8" and need a dress for a wedding in August. I liked one I seen from berrylook but can't find it again. It was chiffon with fabric under it.
I never wear skirts or dresses so could use some help. Thanks

I should add I'm 45 and have brown bobbed hair. Well it will be once it's cut.

Bump

I bought one from a website a friend recommended. It won’t let me repost the link but the site was serenity and grace. Little tip if u have a larger bust go a size up

I like the dresses from phase Eight and they suit my big bust quite nicely.

When I’m looking for clothing for formal occasions I usually go to the John Lewis website. They do loads of different brands, I just use the filter to search for their offers on dresses.

I bought a phase Eight dress about a month ago from there, really pretty, summery and perfect for a wedding, for £32 with a very good reduction. There were loads of lovely options to choose from, some of which are on my wish list for when I can next justify another one!

FFS I just did a whole looong post for you with about dresses on it, from the JL website, and lost it! I can’t face doing it all again right now...

But there are loads of pretty dresses to choose from! And JL is good because they have a very generous returns policy, so you can really think about your purchase and make sure you’re happy with it.

Thank you! I've been having a look and seen a few I liked, unfortunately the one I really liked is out of stock in the 14 but available in the 12 but I need to allow for boobage. I'll keep looking. Thank you again!

I usually find occasionwear on Asos. They have a great returns policy so I usually order 3 or 4 and try on at home with shoes etc. and send back what I don't want.

My latest bargain cost me £9, bought for a May wedding

What’s your budget and what sort of colours suit you?

I would probably spend up to £100 but the dress I liked was £125. I think more pastel shades suit me as I'm quite fair skinned and up until quite recently was blonde. My hair is naturally quite dark.

So as a start, what about this sort of thing?
Do you know what colour the bridesmaids are wearing? Always good to avoid

I'll have to try find out about the bridesmaids, good point!
