I have a close family wedding to attend in October and need help with what to wear as I struggle with dressing up. I'm 40, size 8/10. Here are my questions if anyone can advise or post links/pics that would be very appreciated.
A lot of the dresses I like online have models wearing them with trainers so I think I'm looking at dresses that are too casual? Please can you advise what words I should be searching for "dressier" dresses (cocktail dress, etc) or what shops to look at.
Please talk to me about hats/fascinators and blazers for the day. I did want to go for a fascinator having never worn one and not sure how many opportunities I'll have. Other relatives are all wearing them like mothers of bride and groom, aunties etc.. Also a blazer for the day, is this only for strappy dresses? What is the protocol and Where would I look for these items please?
Shoes- in October, am I looking at closed toes only or does it not matter?
Tights (obviously not thick ones) ? - I have quite pasty/veiny legs and not really interested in fake tan. I would not be able to wear a shorter dress with bare legs in the day. I'm thinking midi or maxi length and then no tights? Does that sound right?
TIA
