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?

Lovely as your wedding day photograph is, and much as I'm always interested to see what other MNetters look like, I don't see the point of posting it.

It doesn't show your build - which is one of the important things when choosing clothes, imo - and I assume your appearance may have changed over the past 15-20 years or whatever.
Or is it a recent photograph and I've been mislead by the white wedding dress and my own old-fashioned preconceptions?
It probably gives a good idea of your colouring, I guess, which is quite delicate and would suit something floaty.

I know, I know!
None of my business but I am curious.

I like this, although it may be a bit attention grabbing for a wedding . If anyone likes it too they are small for the size, you'll need to go up one.

What about something like one of these? I’m a similar build to you I think. Slightly taller and slightly podgier (thanks pregnancies) and have a tummy I like to hide. I have dark red hair though and I’m 27 so don’t know if my tastes would be the same as yours.

Sorry. Should have said that they are all from John Lewis.

It’s pretty isn’t it! They do it in white and pink as well.

Some really nice suggestions. The photo was to show my colouring. It's not an old one and the only nice one I have really. My dress was ivory, sorry if anyone doesnt agree with older brides in a traditional wedding dress! Second marriage and for my first 30 years ago I didn't have a wedding dress as was pregnant!

Well, if you're 60 now and that's recently, you look pretty darn good - congrats! Smile

Stop apologising! Your wedding day so your choice of dress and you looked beautiful.

Think that’s Phase Eight? It was in the window of my local shop - caught my eye straightaway. Lovely dress!

rookiemere · 13/05/2021 10:23

Lovely dress. If it is phase 8 they have 20% off dresses at the minute

Wildswimming3 · 13/05/2021 10:32

Yes phase 8, fingers crossed its not too long

That last dress is gorgeous.

[quote mrssmiling]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.
