Hello, I need a wedding outfit but it needs to cover my skin and not be too fitted. I converted to Islam years ago and I've never been happy with my dressy outfits since so I'm hoping for help here! All the Muslim women I know where Asian-style clothes but I don't feel comfortable in them as they're not me. So I'm looking for either a long dress or long skirt or trousers and something long-sleeved (could be the dress itself). I suit blue and green. I don't wear heels or make-up so I don't want something that overwhelms me, but then on the other hand I'm 5ft 7 and slim. I'll also be pairing whatever it is with a headscarf. I've found in the past then when I dress up it's easy to end up feeling frumpy from too many layers. I don't love smart jackets. Thanks for reading!

Hi @Hotcereal in the Asian stores especially in West and East London you can have the shop custom make whatever you see on the peg. You can choose which colour, less or more sparkle, even different material and all made to measure. 🤩💃

Another vote for this, its gorgeous!

Thank you! I also love the ASOS rust-coloured one, and I also really like the blue, bat-wing Next one. The trend for long-sleeved dresses in recent years is v helpful 😁

M&S have a modest dressing section, from a quick look I found this www.marksandspencer.com/floral-v-neck-pleated-maxi-swing-dress/p/clp22539964?intid=mobile_app_pdp_share
Beautiful, but not cheap....?

I love this, and would work with flat shoes or boots

Thank you both for those last two posts. I'm going with the ASOS! 😄
