Which one stylish mumnetters? (If any..)

Hello :)

I am going to a wedding at the end of the month and I am rubbish at dressing myself. I have dresses I like but I don't know if they actually suit me. My figure is slim/athletic, small breasts (would prefer to wear a bra as post breastfeeding has left them a little worse for wear). Can you lovely ladies help me please.

I have three dresses I am considering but also open to something completely different if anyone has any suggestions. Budget up to £100.

Please let me know what you think :)

Thanks in advance

The vinted ted baker one you have posted is beaut! I agree with previous posters, it has a floral print so I wouldn't say it's too white

That’s lovely.

I love it - it's definitely my favourite of the dresses posted so far - but I think it's more suited to a marquee reception than in a castle? Gah, am I overthinking this?

I like the other Reiss one (brown blush and black, Floella) too. Less summer garden-ish, and on sale!

The jade stripey is gorgeous on first glance, but it is all polyester (the Reiss ones have viscose outer).

The sparkly one is a bit too sparkly. (I'm afraid I hated the ostensibly-sequinned patterned one someone posted in response to that Grin)

I didn't like the Evora style (several in different colours/prints, Ro&Zo). The way it's cut and joined under the bust makes it look ill-fitting and a bit amateurish.

I think I've talked myself into the Reiss Floella - would really recommend you look at that, OP.

I like the first one

Happyhappyeveryday · 02/08/2023 19:42

I love the first, sleeved one on you. It looks great with the shoes and is a really flattering length. I think you should cinch the belt in a little more though, to show off your lovely figure. It’s a great dress.

That Reiss one is also beautiful - the pink would look amazing on you.

@WonderingWanda ooh that is lovely, i really like both colours too. Thanks for the link.

@grumpycow1 i like the first one the green one, not too keen on the red one it feels a little plain. the pink one is not my colour im afraid. Thanks for the links though :)

@merryhouse thank you for your comment, seeing your train of thought really made me chuckle, i do love the Reiss one too.

I think I am pretty much in love with the vinted ted baker one. I will pop into ted baker on saturday though to see how their sizes are on me before i buy it as i obviously can't return it if it doesn't fit.

do you think something like these would go for shoes and a pashima?

I would go for the second one. To me it looks less day to day. Watch for too much side boob though.

Here's another that I think looks gorgeous
