Where on earth can I find a lovely dress or jumpsuit or whatever?

I have a healthy budget, size 10, young 36 and slightly 'alternative' (cringe) taste.

Aibu to ask for help! Please

As a fellow red head I think there is too much purple in the Jigsaw jumpsuit - which I don’t think works with red hair? But maybe the shade of red is important

Have a look at Wolf and Badger

I also have that problem. Plus I need to be able to breastfeed in it. Subtly as my step mother in law doesn't approve....

Oh...and definitely team with Irregular Choice shoes...

Self portrait have some lovely green dresses that might complement your hair and are fairly formal e.g dress The detailing is amazing

MondeoWoman · 01/04/2022 13:32

Love the Rixo dresses too

Mary Wyatt does sound gorgeous midi dresses

Phase Eight do nice jumpsuits in lovely colours and they're very flattering.

Could look very cool

Ooops didn’t notice the exposed tummy bit. What the hell, you’re slim!

House of Foxy. Fab quality vintage style.

I personally think that Jigsaw jumpsuit is your best bet. It's lovely.

Gonnagetgoing · 01/04/2022 15:34

The 2 LK Bennett dresses are very pretty too - the green is more wearable.

The Temperley one is over budget.

What about this Rixo one - it’s quite grungy / vintage - flick thru the photos as it looks different in different models

I'm surprised that I like that one!

and also @TatianaBis 2nd Maje dress.

Gonnagetgoing · 01/04/2022 15:39

I'd also consider do you want this to be a one off dress/outfit for your brother's wedding or do you potentially want to be able to wear this again?

@MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot

Love it. But red and black doesn't seem right at a summer wedding

Amazing dress. Not sure about the neckline with a 30GG bust. Sadly
