wedding guest dresses like Nobody's Child?

[IkBenDeMol]

Lumpy size 16, 50 year old. Been invited to a wedding. Want a "nice frock". Floaty not clingy. Must have sleeves. Not wrap style. Like the Nobody's Child range - can anyone else recommend other sites to look at? Budget around £50 - I'd rather not spend £££ on something I'm unlikely to wear again. Wedding is summer so have time.

Is Wallis still a bricks and mortar shop @redmimi or is it all online now?

And @bonjello I have no idea - I saw it with the promoted label, thought that it was relevant to the question i'd just asked, and found myself on my own thread!!

@IkBenDeMol sadly it's online only, which is a pain.

I paid £7.99 for the Premier Delivery which is free next day delivery and returns for 12 months and then made a couple of orders so that I could try on a few dresses/different sizes.

Really weird isn't it!

Another good brand I remembered about is Silk Fred

M&S have several nobody's child dresses reduced in the sale so bought this one

www.marksandspencer.com/printed-crew-neck-midi-waisted-dress/p/clp22553488

in the sale. Took the advice to order a size up as they are "form fitting" which is just as well as everything but the 18 was out of stock. If it doesn't fit well I can easily return and keep looking.

An advert for M and S?

Zara (the big stores)

Not sure if I’d be happy if I was Nobody’s Child, seems like an advert to NOT buy from them 😂

Yeah exactly! Weird

I assume that Mumsnet promote thIs kind of thread in the hope of creating another “Mumsnet Scarf” or Babyliss Big Hair (yes I have both of those” so they can pitch to fashion retailers how influential they are.

Love the green dress OP - shame it’s such limited stock.

I absolute recommend Girl in Mind. Gorgeous non clingy stuff around £50

What’s the sizing like with Girl in Mind? I struggle with the nork area with Nobody’s Child dresses on the more fitted stuff

Just popped on to say that M&S @IkBenDeMol have a sale on with Nobody’s Child included!

Maybe try OMNES? They seem to do Reformation-style dresses, but much much cheaper. Quality looks ok!

American site called bloomchic. Slow delivery only downside but they hav a fabulous range of dresses. Prices very reasonable as well. Lots of dresses with arms, pockets and not too short

Scamp & Dude have lovely dresses

M&S do nice midis (if that’s what you’re after).

And surprisingly New Look have some lovely ones. I wore one to a wedding from there last year. They tend to release them throughout the spring so may not have the full range in yet.

Bloom chic
little wings
Romans
They would be my go to!!
