Wedding guest dress help

[ArseInTheCoOpWindow]

I’m really difficult to please. I found a dress but Dd pinched it.

I hate fuss, frills, patterns, sleeveless, knee length or shorter. I’m tall so like calf length. Pretty much my only shops are Cos or Arket. I look horrible in orange, yellow or brown

But Dd pinched it. Can anyone help?

And l look like death in black or navy. I’m a summer colouring

I've guessed your age and size - I'm hoping you're a size 6 for the green dress.

They are all rather beautiful! Alas I’m a size 16 and 5ft 9. Dd wants mine as an oversized one.

I would wear any of them but satin is a bit unforgiving.

They’re really nice though. Just going back to have another look at them!

Fancy the pink one or the purple one. They are my best colours.

Purple and in a 16 - any good OP or is it too frilly?

God sorry it's sleeveless - missed that bit.

It’s ok, but would look awful on me! Not keen on high lo hems.

A maxi?

Have a look at the pretty dress company. They’ve got some beautiful dresses and can be dressed up or down. I’m 5ft 11 and the midi dresses hit me below the knee.

How about this? Bit more pricey though…

Oooh that Pretty Dress company looks interesting! Off to investigate. I don’t do formal very well but l like the look of them.

Just pinch it back off your DD! Or challenge her to find you (and pay for) another perfect dress.

Just get the dress back off your dd.

I do love a Chi Chi dress for a wedding!

I like the Phase 8 one too. But want sleeves. I hate my upper arms.

Chi chi is lovely, but I’m more of aToast type. Like sort of utilitarian and clumpy?

Can we see the one your DD pinched

I love Closet London for relaxed smart.

This is in your size and the model 2 inches taller than you?

I’m not super girly either but would wear this for a wedding.

At least show us the dress she pinched.

Anyway, I'd pinch it back. Let her out some effort in for herself.

Sorry…..just saw you hate yellow. They had a similar style in navy the other day.

I bought them because of the wide sleeves. Really flattering.

I like that Yumi dress and l really like Closet.

This is my stolen dress. It is ballerina length on me with a very subtle sheen. I was going to wear it with a silver pendant and silver clumpy shoes. I can’t do formal l just feel wrong and fiddly in it. I don’t like heels or tiny strappy sandals. I was a teen in the era of the DM and it stayed. I’ve got white silver hair, so it all kinds of slots together.

She’s 5ft 11 and wants it. She loathes clothes and shopping, but really liked this which she never ever does. She hates dresses, and would wear bloody jeans if l didn’t intervene. So I’m kind of tied.😢

It’s a family wedding.

Errrrrrr ok. Lord only knows what I posted there but thank you.
