Picky wedding guest

That's me.
Wedding end of august in nice barn type venue.
Am 5'8 with good legs and nice bum but petite bust. But at 55 don't want an above the knee dress. Quite drawn to Nancy Mac type style.. midi floral, and would pay that amount, but nothing quite hits the spot there. Also would go for something boho. Any suggestions? Am running out of brands to browse!

How about Monsoon? This is a maxi floral

That's beautiful and nearly right. But too long! Altho I could get it shortened..
Said I was picky!

Have a look at some of their other wedding guests outfits, I don’t usually like deliberate ‘wedding’ wear but some of these dresses are lovely. I also rather like this one which looks a bit shorter www.monsoon.co.uk/renata-embellished-maxi-dress-red-95181219.html

When I think of floaty floral/boho dresses I always think of this place. www.apricotonline.co.uk

@DarlingCoffee i don't much like deliberate wedding outfits either - shift dresses and boleros don't do it for me. And although my legs are good I think below the knee is best at my age. And besides legs can look soooo long in a longer dress if the waist is right

Lots of nice things on Wolf and Badger. I’m very drawn to this Felicity dress

Not sure if it is more Margot Leadbetter than boho though.

@BestIsWest borderline I'd say! And sadly only an 8 left in stock. But I'm going to browse Wolf and Badger. Had forgotten about them!

Anthropology and Noa Noa are worth a look.
