and this Reiss dress https://www.reiss.com/style/st401433/270062#270062
the ghost dress is to long reiss dress is to wedding!
I like quite hippy style clothes normally floaty flowery dresses. I’m 5”4 size 10 can spend up to £200 don’t mind length of dress. I Have big boobs so tend to wear a vneck. I really am stuck and also needs to be next day delivery any clues? I’m also really pale. Please anyone able to find me a dress I no longer have a clue!

I love the second one, but keep in mind that the model is 5 foot 10, so the dress will be much longer on you if you're 5"4.

The first one is fine but is just a plain black dress.

I really like the black one, could you shorten it?

Black one can’t be shortened. Second one is ok length wise I think the split helps but I’d wear it to a wedding and the party is a pub garden. I hate clothes shopping!

I really like the Oasis one. I prefer the price to haha.

I think that you could make that look lovely with the right shoes/sandals and jewellery and beach hair.

Timeforthesummer · 25/05/2023 15:58

Oh sorry I just realised you said it's too casual. I'm not much help.

Zebracat · 25/05/2023 16:48

you really are overthinking this. The Ghost dress is too long, but if that’s your preference, you can buy a much cheaper, similar black slip dress anywhere. The Reiss dress is lovely, I wish I-had 1, and yes you could also wear it to a wedding, altho it might be a bit too white. The Oasis dress is carefree and sexy, not beachy. Have a lovely time.

Just looking at never fully dressed. I am totally overthinking it I know that! I like the ghost slip dress as it had straps that I can wear a bra with it all the others I’ve found that aren’t T-shirt material are spaghetti straps and I can’t not wear or bra and have yet to find a decent strapless one that is comfy and holds everything up. The oasis one is to low and more what you’d wear abroad if that makes sense but I love it so will keep it and I love the price! I really like the green dress above but mil told me years ago tired dresses make me look hippy and it’s stuck 🤦‍♀️ serious overthinking

Mint Velvet were having a sale yesterday. Maybe something there?

Mercedesbenz2022 · 25/05/2023 17:29

Go and look at nobodies child dresses at marks and spencer
they have loads and they are lovely , I saw them in store
a pub garden calls for a somewhat casual dress especially with this lovely weather ( if you have it )

Sparklysunshine · 25/05/2023 17:35

The wonderbra ultimate strapless bra is excellent. Really good support and comfy.

I love the original second dress. Can you not dress it down a bit with sandals etc?

ArseMenagerie · 25/05/2023 18:54

There are some sixes! And monsoon stock it
