Wedding guest dress suggestions

[skeemee]

Would like a nice dressy dress. Maybe with jacket? Definitely cover upper arms. I’m Mid 50s, 5ft 4, size 16-18. Dark hair, and can wear most colours.
Can’t wear high heels due to injury, so low heel shoes (not completely flat) also required. Want to look classy. Budget £200 for dress / £50 shoes. Will probably need a new bag too. I hear youngsters these days don’t match bag and shoes! What is this madness? 🤪

Thank you! Out of those ones, I like the navy and white one best. The others just don’t seem “wedding-y” enough. I need a bit of shape and structure in the dress.

eShakti have a wide range of dresses - you can customise the styles (length, neckline, sleeves), and either buy a dress from their standard sizes, or give them your measurements and have it tailor made.

The dresses are made in India, but arrive pretty promptly - I ordered 2 dresses, and they arrived in 3-4 weeks, and as they were in the two dresses cost me $95, inc postage.

One was for a dinner the night before ds1’s wedding (all the family together for the first time in years), and the other was for the wedding, and both were much admired.
