Another wedding guest outfit!

[Wildswimming3]

I know the answer really, Its too young for me but it would hide all the bits I don't like top of arms, tummy. I'm 60.

Isn't it pretty though?

Unhelpful, ShirleyPhallus ...

Though, tbh, the second dress is so bad I almost suspect the OP of 'avin' a larf at our expense ...

It was just a joke! Matches is a great shout, even though some of it is ridiculously expensive and fashionably questionable it has some real gems

In 5 foot 4, size twelve and would feel very uncomfortable in anything fitted, this was me on my wedding day I
m fair with blonde, reddish highlights and my hair is longer now. I don't like my wrinkly bits!

Nice dress in itself. You're right about it being too young for you - it's the sort of thing that little girls might wear to a family wedding - if their parents were miffed that they hadn't been asked to be bridesmaids.

Oh, you're beautiful, OP! And the dress you're suggesting won't do you justice.

You're very pretty!

I can see that it's a bit girly girl with the style and also it being pink... You being blonde and pretty might also nudge it in that direction tbh, whereas someone with different colouring might be able to pull it off.

What would you wear it with? Shoes, bag, cover-up, belt? I would steer well clear of a fascinator.

@whatmattersmost I'm mortified by some of the comments. I'm going to slope of quietly now. Thanks for your nice comment though

I was in two minds about adding a , Shirley ...

I'm very curious about how the Matches people must feel about having such a vast quantity of unsold, needing to be reduced, clothing.

And beyond impatient with all the Coast, Phase 8, style-free wrap dress apologists who assemble on S&B with far too much alacrity.

You are beautiful OP but that dress is not! Wear something that makes you look fabulous!

I definitely won't wear it!!!

You are stunning OP! That dress is a definite no as well given your colouring.

Please don't shy away from something lightly fitted. It will look a hundred times better than something that 'hides the bits' You look amazing in your wedding dress!

OP I don't understand why you're feeling mortified. Surely you came to S&B for help to look your best self at the wedding? Every single person who's posted is keen to assist you.

Why not stay and see if the thread can find you something perfect?

Maybe something semi-fitted?

Probably because I've worn that dress a few times and I looked like I was in my nightmares

*nightdress

I'm open to suggestions, just feel a bit embarrassed

I don't think it's bridal, but not appropriate for a wedding unless you're 20! It reminds me of Killing Eve.
Something more fitted and sophisticated would be much better.

Do you have a budget in mind for a new dress? Maybe we can help find something. What colours do you like wearing?

What is your maximum budget?

(Be assured, OP - we are of an age. And I would be mortified if I were not the best dressed person in any room.)

I love these dresses:

How about something like this : www.phase-eight.com/product/brandie-lace-bodice-chiffon-dress-208943501.html#cgid=occasion&is=false&sz=60&start=0&isSecondPage=false&pid=208943501&pos=16 it's not too fitted and has a similar vibe to the original two dresses but executed in a more formal fashion.

Probably £200.

I like this and probably my tummy wouldn't show too much. But I'm too short and again suspect is too bridal

My friend wore a dress similar to my wedding @overstretched she looked beautiful. I think I'm too short.

I like the phase 8 dress

Sorry at whatmattersmost. Autocorrect!

This is my dd's and I motto.

We do have some lovely stuff, but I know where to shop. We don't live in the UK and we get a lot of branded stuff reduced and they sell in overun type places. I always say we have no excuse not to look nice.

OP, fair warning..... you are going to get many lovely ideas from this thread
