Dress help!

I'm at a wedding early March and am seriously lacking any idea of a dress! Anyone seen any great dresses?

Only real preference is nothing too short, I was really hoping for something a bit different to the same old that seems to be in stores at the moment. I'm 38 if that helps age range wise.

Happy to be cold so not too concerned about it being suitable for winter either.

Thanks!

What is your shape and colouring? How much do you want to spend?

CountryCousin · 04/01/2023 02:38

So much info not included!

Anyway, I’m awake so went on a little hunt … Click for details. The pale MM is £400 +, the bustier £500+. The JS is ankle length perfection.

First dress is Zara!

Thanks! Looking up to £200 ideally. Pale, blonde and hourglass shape (once I've ditched the excess Christmas weight!) size 10-12.

Would like something a bit brighter as tends to Make me look less pasty!

I’m 40, blonde and same size and shape
I think wrap dresses always suit an hour glass perfectly
silkfred is really good for wedding guest outfits

I think you need to take a look at the sale dresses at Anthropology as there are some lovely dresses that will stand out against the crowd in the nicest way imho. This for example www.anthropologie.com/en-gb/shop/guapa-one-shoulder-mini-dress?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=027&searchparams=q%3Dguapa&type=REGULAR&quantity=1 Even if you don’t like this look at the sale section.

That’s lovely thanks! Anthropologie could be a good shout

Love some of those Reiss ones - your budget would allow you to get it shortened or tailored to fit. This as a midi would be fab, it's too ballgown as a maxi...
