Going to an informal wedding in the summer. I am a 5 ft 2,. size 14, 60yr old who feels fine in my work clothes and relaxing at a weekend but cannot find anything I like for this wedding. A bit more info...I have grey hair, like simple styles and due to problems with my feet have to wear flats. I want to look stylish but feeling a bit out of date and old.

Have you looked in Cos? Might fit the bill!

Laska2Meryls · 29/04/2021 21:20

Sleeves or not?
I am your agegruop .. and think bold colours work (especially with grey hair..) I would probably wear something like this yellow dress with a simple jacket like this and flat shoes .. maybe even white minimal trainers

Or maybe also something like this monsoon dress

What is your overall shape? Pear, apple, hourglass, triangle etc? What colours suit or don't suit you? Any particular style suit your figure best- Jumpsuit, cocktail length, full length etc?

Laska2Meryls · 29/04/2021 21:25

necklace like this blue one with the yellow dress
or a simple silver one ..

Love the dresses and necklaces @Laska2Meryls linked to! Not sure about the jacket, but maybe if I saw it on.

Laska2Meryls · 29/04/2021 21:36

Yes, I wasn't too sure either smashing .. maybe a bit boxier would be better?.. How about this Hobs jacket?

SmashingPumpkinPatch · 29/04/2021 21:46

Hmmmm the jacket seems quite tricky actually! I'm thinking either quite cropped or maybe something softer and very longline, but nothing in between?

Laska2Meryls · 29/04/2021 21:47

Flat sandals...
Id actually probably wear my saltwaters!
..

What’s your shape? Pear? Hourglass? Etc

Something like this www.ambrosewilson.com/shop/julipa-lace-cardigan-and-cami-top-set/vn140/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=2081&optionColour=Soft+Blue&pdpClick=true my mum was the same size as you and this is the sort of thing she'd wear.

AliceBlueGown · 29/04/2021 23:24

This Oliver Bonas dress is viscose, so good if it's hot, and I think it could work for an informal wedding. Nice simple shape and the fabric stops it from being dull.
