Wedding guest dress help!

[Matronic6]

Due to attend a wedding in Italy in 2 weeks. Was going to wear a vampires wife dress I have, but just found out the bridesmaid is wearing the same dress.

Been hunting online all day and just feel overwhelmed and at a loss. Any suggestions welcome for a midi, possibly maxi dress that would suit an hourglass (perhaps more pear at min), deep green, purple, blue or gold shade or a pattern dress with autumn or spring colours. The dress I had was the classic style and is quite a flattering shape on me. Don't want my upper arms out as I have a scar I'm sensitive about. Nothing too revealing or cut out.

Don't want to break the bank for it so have a £200 budget. Thanks in advance.

i don’t know where you live (obviously) but house of frazer has heaps of dresses that meet the brief (whistles have especially good selection) all massively reduced because local store (reading) is shutting down. I believe this the case in a lot the other store across the country (RIP). If not I think they have a fairly good selection online too 😘

No help sorry but how absolutely gorgeous are those vampire wife dresses! 😍

Wyse London maybe? Although not in your budget probably

they have this:

or

Is it worth looking on Vinted, given you still have two weeks? Budget would stretch further on there.

Ugh it's hard though, when you thought you were sorted! I was looking recently for a winter wedding guest dress and was surprised how nice some of the stuff on Coast was - some lovely prints although a lot of jacquard, which might not be right for early autumn in Italy. Have you tried the Outnet?

What size are you? This dress was recommended on another thread. I have a couple of Adrianna Papell dresses. They’re quite nice quality.

I second Warehouse! Tons of stunning dresses that look high end for a good price

Ooh, I love that gold Wyse dress. They also have it in bronze and it’s stunning, and in the sale so within your price range.

I picked up a new Ghost midi dress in a satin-y fabric on Vinted for £50. I'm wearing it to an autumn wedding.

This sounds like it would suit you OP https://www.nobodyschild.com/plum-starlight-midaxi-dress.html?queryID=122d839ffc6d5f429950d67dbef2ac76&objectID=50655&indexName=nc2-prod_uk_products

This dress in Oliver Bonas is great too if it covers your arms enough - https://www.oliverbonas.com/fashion/crinkle-sleeve-dark-green-satin-midi-dress-359137#selection.color=16

That Oliver Bonas dress is popping up everywhere. Each to their own but it's very safe and underwhelming. It's unadventurous compared to Vampire's Wife.

Here's 2 Stine Goya dresses. 1 under and 1 a wee bit over budget.

Stine Goya 1
Stine Goya 2

Or Sister Jane- I would say they're closer in attitude to Vampire's Wife than some of the suggestions.

That 2nd one is glorious

This is lovely.

I quite like the second Stine Goya one but gosh that's a lot for 100% polyester.

In response to the above ( reduced) and one other colourway.
