I'm looking for a dress for a wedding...

... before I trawl the net, does anyone have any pointers?

I'm going to my sister's wedding soon and am looking for a dress, reasonably casual but lovely pattern and material.

  1. Don't like my upper arms but would get wrap/shrug thing to go with
  2. Like to show a little cleavage
  3. Not short, not floor length
  4. Would like either blues and greens or reds. I envisage pattern but could be single colour.
  5. Think I would balk at over £120

ANy thoughts?

East is always bizarre
Coast only good for LBDs this season

Think the red LKBennett one would be perfect for an autumn wedding - the pretty floral print ones are too garden-party summery IMO.

hmmm.

I'll be turning a huge corner in my wedding outfit vision if I switch from silky patterny thing to straight, simple and plain.

But maybe I'm convinced.

So I wouldn't need a cardi with that sort of dress. I'd need a jacket though, no? Or could I get some sort of wrap?

Yes. My shopping trip isn't for another two weeks.
