What are people wearing to evening wedding dos?

Got a wedding this Saturday and really struggling.
Some dresses I’ve bought I’m finding are a bit too much for an evening do. The couple aren’t even my friends but DHs.

I have one day to get my shit together. Haven’t been got any shoes

Argh

The dresses you have ordered from your previous link are lovely tho!

Closet have some nice dresses on ASOS (sorry can’t work out how to link) - search for the cap sleeve midi dress in jewel print.

Lipsy also have nice dresses that aren’t ‘too much’ - these are nice (I think anyway!) -

Thanks Chippy!

Do you think the dresses I have are a bit OTT for an evening do?

No I think they are lovely! My fave is the peachy embroidered one. You could maybe wear wedges to tone it down a bit if you feel overdressed in heels? But don’t forget all the day guests will be dressed up so you won’t stand out as being too dressed up. However I do think it’s improtant to feel comfortable in whatever you choose so if you don’t feel good at them maybe try on some different styles.

I wore the attached to a wedding yesterday and got a zillion compliments. Too late for you to order but looks a lot like the peach one you showed so I think you should wear that.

No link lamb.

Chippy I like the idea of wedges with the embroidered dress

I’ve not been out in ages, I’ve got a 5 month old so just feel all fat and grumpy and don’t really know what’s in ConfusedHmm

I like it but it looks quite short - I have big boobs so I’m very conscious of showing cleavage and legs but if you can pull it off go for it!

I’m sure you will look lovely whatever you choose but anything floaty would be perfect for a wedding! Plus you could eat and dance and not have to worry haha!

I attached photos did they not come through?

RogueV · 11/07/2019 20:00

I’ve ordered it now Cherry I’ve got big boobs too but I’m short so that dress won’t be too short on me!

Lamb I can’t see anything

Loving this thread, hope you find the perfect outfit OP!

@Iamblossom I can see your pics and love your outfit! Where is your dress and shoes from please?

ChippyTea16 · 11/07/2019 20:14

It will look lovely Rogue! It’s a gorgeous colour!

Lamb I can’t see anything either!

Iamblossom · 12/07/2019 06:57

@UsuallyJustLurk it is from Shein, cheap as chips and so pretty, dead chuffed with it. Shoes were £40 from Debenhams.
