What to wear step daughters wedding

[clpsmum]

So my step daughter is getting married and it is a huge affair. I don't know where to start looking for an outfit. I'd rather an evening dress type outfit rather than the traditional motb outfit as I'm obviously not motb!!

I'm 45 and (hope to be) size 12 and 5'5"

Any and all recommendations very greatly welcomed and appreciated

Catherine's if Patrick is pretty close I'm in glasgow. I've looked at their website but think they are a bit too mother of the bride when I'm just the Stepmum. I do t want to stand on anyone's toes

@margotsdevil catwalk is lovely just looking at their site now thank you

Nobody’s child has nice stuff, bought a dress, needs shortening, I’m 5’4”, reasonably priced too £59, with discounts £51, then shortening around £20.
My grandson’s christening in June, add in shoes and bêleront, expensive

what about a wrap dress in silk. I liked this for my mum when we get married but she’s found something

Oh I absolutely love this think I will order this anyway for the wedding or something else!!

Yey that’s me feeling useful today 🤣 I’m not normally good with stuff like this but I’m looking myself for my honeymoon and for my mum for my wedding so I’ve had a few things bookmarked

@Sugarcube84 thank you so much. How exciting for you when is the wedding and where is the honeymoon? So exciting

Oh she’s off 🤣Wedding is December and we are doing a Caribbean cruise. I’m a planner so I’m trying to spread the organisation and shopping throughout the year

Ages off not she’s off!!

Oh how lovely though. That's something to look forward to gorgeous winter wedding then lovely honeymoon in the sunshine while it's dark and gloomy here. Hope it is all perfect for you

West of Scotland wedding so definitely quite glam.

Frox of Falkirk are great.
L Occasionwear Ayr - better in store than online.

Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh stock some amazing bags and shoes.

Oh Mia Bella in Glasgow is absolutely worth a look too.

@clpsmum
The Zimmerman one from Harvey Nicks is classy. It’s silk. The polyester ones at £45? I wouldn’t. Some guests will know class when they see it.

Have a look at Tadashi Shoji. They are very good at shipping to the UK and their dresses are glamorous but well priced.

Oooh I'm going to Ayr next week I will pop into the store thank you x

Have you bought from them?

Yeah you are right and never treat myself so would like to treat myself to something that would normally be out of my budget

I have the phase eight Julissa in black but it comes in lots of colours and is so flattering and perfect for a wedding.

I absolutely LOVE the link to the Ghost dress in lots of colours, really beautiful ❤️

Have a look at Gina Smart too, if you’re going to Ayr. Agree West Of Scotland/footballer wedding will be glam. Somewhere like Gina Smart, might be the opposite of what you’re looking for, but at least you’ll have an expectation of what others will be choosing to wear. There’s a reason these shops survive.
