Dress for wedding in August

6 replies

It's my niece's wedding in August and by this time, I will be around a size 12 to 14.

I used to buy from Bravissimo as I am a bit top heavy, but they seem to only do underwear now. Not sure what suits me these days!

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Have you checked out Hope & Ivy?

@GettinTrimmer What is your usual style for weddings?

waltzingparrot just seen a dress on Hope & Ivy thanks for recommending. But it's out of stock until September.

Alrightqueenie not been to a wedding in a long time. I don't have a wedding style. The one I've just seen was mid length floral satin. I have seen one Joe Brown clothing, their only occasion wear dress. I'll link in a bit.

Thanks for replies Smile I am not sure what will flatter my shape now Bravissimo have seemed to only do lingerie now.

I think cowl neck or v neck would be best

If you're planning on losing weight between now and then Id wait until nearer the time so you can try on. For me, i try and avoid buying clothes I'll only wear once or twice, so the last wedding i went to I wore a floral print dress that wasnt too weddingy with a light jacket.

This would work. It's pretty enough for a wedding but not so pretty your never wear it again.www.<a class="break-all" href="https://amazon.co.uk/Jessica-Howard-Womens-Belted-Floral/dp/B08XQZGMQP/ref=sr_1_443?rnid=419151031&s=clothing&crid=36KW09TE099RF&keywords=designer%20dresses%20for%20women%20uk&sprefix=designer%20dresses%20for%20women%2Cclothing%2C245&m=A1AP3T1V8JBE1W&qid=1645008408&refinements=p_6%3AA1AP3T1V8JBE1W&sr=1-443&tag=mumsnet&ascsubtag=mnforum-style-and-beauty-4481281-Dress-for-wedding-in-August" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">amazon.co.uk/Jessica-Howard-Womens-Belted-Floral/dp/B08XQZGMQP/ref=sr_1_443?crid=36KW09TE099RF&keywords=designer+dresses+for+women+uk&m=A1AP3T1V8JBE1W&qid=1645008408&refinements=p_6%3AA1AP3T1V8JBE1W&rnid=419151031&s=clothing&sprefix=designer+dresses+for+women%2Cclothing%2C245&sr=1-443
