Can anyone help me with a dress for a wedding (guest)

Hi all,

I'm going to a wedding next month and would like to get a new dress. I'm not really sure what to go for and would love some inspiration to try something different, if anyone is up for posting some suggestions.

If it helps; I'm a size 6-8 with C cup chest and 5ft 2. Long brown hair.
I'm a really girly girl and like vintage styles but will consider anything!

Thank you Smile

This is my favourite dress that I can’t justify buying at the moment:

Then accessorise with layered chains etc.

I have ordered this for a wedding in August.

@ginoginellizzz That is gorgeous, have you ordered from there before? Do you know what the quality is like? Some of their ivory dresses are beautiful and would be perfect for my low key, low budget wedding.

Absolutely love the ghost one and think you'd look amazing in it op, based on how your figure sounds. It could look vintage with the right accessories.

The ghost dress looks like a plain, satin nightie!

These places have vintage style dresses:

That is absolutely incredible, what a beautiful dress

wingsnthat · 14/05/2021 09:25

No offence intended, but if OP is 5”2 some of these dresses will be too long for her without alterations. The models are like 5”8+

ginoginellizzz · 14/05/2021 09:54

@greymayday isn't it stunning! I ordered one of their swatches to check the colour and it's a really lovely quality satin.

greymayday · 14/05/2021 10:42

@ginoginellizzz Just seen that their warehouse is actually very near to me and they let you go and try the dresses on! Making a booking as we speak - you may have literally found me my wedding dress Grin

Sorry for hijacking OP! Grin The Ghost dress will look gorgeous on someone of your figure.

I love the dress @dancingbroccoli has ordered. It is gorgeous. 🙂

But different shoes and bag to the model

I bought this yesterday for DD. She is hopeful about travelling overseas for a friends wedding. She is very small and the colour is really her. She may hate it though!

Have a look at odd molly, I'm short and find their dresses really flattering
