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

Isn't it pretty though?

The first dress is nice but very young. And please bin that second one! Sorry but it’s not nice! The third one isn’t great either.

You could wear so many nice dresses, stay away from pale floaty rags!

MayIDestroyYou · 12/05/2021 10:23

Possible? Not terribly fitted. And only Size medium available!

Malin52 · 12/05/2021 10:23

I just don't think a pale pastel Floaty number is terribly flattering.

MayIDestroyYou · 12/05/2021 10:25

I'm a bit puzzled about your insistence on white or so-pale-as-to-be-almost-white dresses, OP.

Are you in love with the bridegroom? Hmm

inappropriateraspberry · 12/05/2021 10:26

If you like something a bit floatier and less structured, what about these?

I think your dress is lovely for a summery garden party - but a tad too hippy/nightie for a wedding - and white.

I think the dress you linked was gorgeous - but way too bridal

Personally I like Phase Eight - I'm 32 and worn dresses - definitely not mother of the bride at all - very chic and classy imo

luxurychocolate · 12/05/2021 10:28

Pretty but looks like night garment tbh! I wouldn't wear for a wedding

MayIDestroyYou · 12/05/2021 10:40

Definitely not white!. Not fitted. And only a size 12 left.

(Personally I lean towards a much bigger discount, but I'm weird that way.)

Looks like it’s made of wrapping paper. Confused

This is lovely too

I've been longing to see someone in this & Other Stories frock. It could be utterly brilliant - depending on the swagger of the wearer. It's a bit fitted but does look rather comfy! Very much the sort of thing I'd be delighted to have a guest wear if it were my wedding.

The first one is lovely, thank you.

MayIDestroyYou Matches is brilliant, how about this?

Tbf, it would be excellent for a "Friends"-themed wedding.
The one with Joey saying:
"Okay, buddy-boy. Here it is: you hide my clothes, I'm wearing everything you own".

And I like it better than the original "Tiny Tears: the Teenage Years" dress pictured originally.

@Wildswimming3

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!
What a LOVELY photo! And a lovely face.

It sounds as though you'd like something quite whimsical, romantic. Pale pink is great with red/strawberry blonde hair, but you'd also look fab in a green or blue.

I also hate stuff that clings to my tummy and find floaty fabrics are often false friends.

I love this! Would you have quite warm colouring op? I do and think this could work really well.

Palavah · 12/05/2021 11:26

Phase Eight do have good stuff:

How do you feel about the length?

Or this?

OP if you like the Diane von Furstenberg dress, you might like this Gabrielle Parker tea dress. They are amazing value, flattering, and come in different colours/patterns - the pinks might appeal.
