Registry office wedding dress

Hi I'm getting married in a low key registry office then a party afterwards. I'm 37 and looking for a wedding dress which is special but not over the top if anyone can help me?
I'd prefer to show legs a bit but cover up arms if possible

would one like this work? its simple but (imo) gorgeous

This is mine from Alie Street. I'm also having registry office wedding.

I'm 40, and didn't want a huge dress. It looks gorgeous on and I feel great in it. I've added a belt too, and it's perfect.

They do quite a few dresses in the style you mention.

That is lovely @MissMogwai

AnneKipanki · 21/02/2020 19:18

What sort of style do you suit ?

Oldname · 21/02/2020 19:25

Hi that dress is beautiful but looks very tight and unforgiving - I'm not mega overweight but have a bigger stomach area. I think I'm an apple shape but other than that I have no idea what would suit me.
I was thinking of this one...

OP I love that dress! Perfect for the occasion!

sleepismysuperpower1 · 21/02/2020 19:35

hi, no worries. I included a hyperlink, so if you click on the word 'this' in my post (it should be blue) it'll take you to the website x

AnneKipanki · 21/02/2020 20:19

It takes you to website, not particular dress @sleepismysuperpower1

AnneKipanki · 21/02/2020 20:20

That looks nice @Oldname
You would need to try it on . You can never tell from other people.

chester18 · 21/02/2020 20:40

That's a lovely dress

sleepismysuperpower1 · 21/02/2020 21:11

oh it does take me to the particular dress but perhaps I have linked it wrong. its the Hepburn Ivory Mid Sleeve Signature Dress from theprettydresscompany.com. sorry!

Oldname · 21/02/2020 21:23

@sleepismysuperpower1 that is beautiful.
Would you put a coloured belt with it?
Also, should I wear nude tights or go for fake tan? My legs are practically see through at the minute

For a very straightforward dress you could perhaps accessorise bright things with perhaps this:

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 21/02/2020 21:28

A hahaha i think @sleepismysuperpower1 just beat me to it....

MissMogwai · 21/02/2020 21:47

Love that dress in the link! And it has pockets 😂

sleepismysuperpower1 · 21/02/2020 21:52

you could put a belt like this (link attached) on it? I personally would be inclined to get a (light) spray tan done

AnneKipanki · 21/02/2020 22:12

Nice ! sleep

@sleepismysuperpower1 I'm not the OP (and sorry to revive an old thread) but I bought the Hepurn dress you recommended after seeing this thread.

I'm 38 and planning a very low key registry office wedding so I'd been searching for something which wasn't 'too much' but still pretty.

Having just received the delivery and tried it on it is so lovely and even has pockets! And I got it at a discount!
