Which dress for a summer wedding?

Hi

Which dress would be your favourite for a summer wedding? And any ideas for colour shoes/bag?

Haven't been dressed up for a long time and recently lost 4 stone in weight so I'm feeling totally alien atm as to what style suits.

The second photo shows a close up of the front of the green dress.

They all look lovely but for me the first one without a doubt, it really suits your figure and looks dressed up but light and airy for summer. Love it

The middle green one, you look gorgeous in it and very elegant.

LaCerbiatta · 25/06/2023 09:49

Definitely the darker green, you seem to have dark hair, the pale one may wash you out. Not a fan of the floral.

They're all lovely. For me the rule is to have a plunge neckline if you have boobs. So I'd go number 3. Beautiful!

PurplePear7 · 25/06/2023 09:49

The green looks amazing on you! I really like the pink too.

Notellinganyone · 25/06/2023 09:50

The green one is the least flattering- it’s less slimming than the other two and the bodice looks weirdly bunchy. The third one is most slimming and flattering but perhaps a bit mumsy so I’d go for number one.

WorkOfArt · 25/06/2023 09:51

I think the shape of number 3 suits you best.

Covetthee · 25/06/2023 09:52

what type of wedding is it?

If its an outside thing like then third dress

if its more inside (eg hall/hotel) i would say the green.

You have a great figure!

Doggymummar · 25/06/2023 09:53

Middle on without a shadow of a doubt. Stunning

sawnotseen · 25/06/2023 09:53

The emerald one - it's gorgeous and you look fabulous in it! Have a wonderful time

FizzyPop31 · 25/06/2023 09:55

Purple floral one is most flattering in my opinion xx

Rainydaysandicecream · 25/06/2023 09:55

Sorry OP, I'd keep looking. Is that an option?

ramonaquimby · 25/06/2023 09:56

The green dress. Gorgeous!

crossstitchingnana · 25/06/2023 09:58

The flowery one looks mumsy and dated. The first one looks a bit small. Green one is stunning.

Countdownbeginning · 25/06/2023 10:00

Number 1 or number 3.
I think the dark green is less flattering.
Number 3 looks great but I think number 1 looks a bit more wedding-y.

GoodChat · 25/06/2023 10:01

Number 3 looks perfect on you. It flatters your shape beautifully

Whataretheodds · 25/06/2023 10:02

What bra would you wear with the first one? Slightly dated bridesmaidy shape and colour.

I think the shape of the waist and hips in #3 is the most flattering but #2 looks the most modern and elegant.

Do you own these already or are these new purchases to try on?

Childhoodnostalgia · 25/06/2023 10:03

I think the neckline is much more flattering in dress one, however I love the colour of the dark green.

Hippyhippybake · 25/06/2023 10:07

No competition, the middle one.

eurochick · 25/06/2023 10:08

The floral one makes you look 60+. Which is fine if you are but otherwise not great.

I love the colour of the green one but the cut at the top is a bit odd. Also if it's hot you will be melting.

The winner for me is the first one. The cut is really flattering on you.

LadyKenya · 25/06/2023 10:08

The dark green one is a lovely dress.

katmunchkin · 25/06/2023 10:09

First one is the wrong length, needs to be a bit longer. Third one is abit 90s, a bit wishy washy. Love the middle dress but might be a bit 'heavy' for a summer wedding?

IrisBearded · 25/06/2023 10:10

Thank you everyone, it's all very mixed (which is how I feel too)

Wedding is in a posh indoor venue

The first 2 are from Vinted so I can resell. They are both slightly small I think. I should have lost a few pounds by August and they hopefully would fit better

First one I'd wear nude bra or strapless bra

Floral one I can send back to shop , it's this one. I really love the cut and shape, but not the lots of cleavage.

If you dont feel comfortable with the cleavage go option 2!

SunnieShine · 25/06/2023 10:13

The pink dress looks lovely.
