Just to add, i have no dresses to add tho the posts, however i’m only 5ft myself so understand the problem and used to find alterations expensive, however i found a local seamstress as opposed to a shop, would that be something that would help, i can now buy styles i like and she alters for me at a lower cost than a shop. All the dresses posted are lovely, hope you find something that works x

Its so hard isnt it! My nan was a seamstress so always gave to her but shes too old now 🥺

I remember taking a dress to a dry cleaners once and the alterations cost more than the bloody dress.

@JosieGrossie you have been so so helpful, thank you. There was a brand on one of the vinted dresses called NA.KD and they have lots of dresses in my size, im looking on there now. Failing that im going to buy the ruched sleeve one in the vinted link you sent, its in a 4 and midaxi so should be quite long on me. Thank you so much honestly.

Need a headscarf to match now 😂 am going to wear gold heels and big Indian style earrings and bangles. Gold scarf sound ok? Colour recommendations?

@Goldiex you're very welcome! I think the colour for your accessories would depend on how much of a contrast you want your outfit to have. You could go for the same colour as your dress for it to be monochrome or you could go for a slightly lighter or slightly darker shade for a contrast. I would make a mood board for yourself so you can see the outfit together and see if you're happy before buying everything. It's easy enough to do on Canva and they even have a tutorial if you Google it

For future, you can just upload any pic onto google search and it'll give you any website where that picture features- that's how I found that link!

You could always get something tailored if it's a wee bit too big?

Have you tried John Lewis? Such a huge collection and great filtering options online. They also do modest brands like Aab, but they’d be too long for you.
your original made me think of ghost e.g
https://www.johnlewis.com/ghost-mari-satin-midi-dress/p109889165
(You could wear with a think sparkly belt to define your waist)

JL have also started doing designer dress rental, so that could also be an option.

For anyone watching. The dress arrived and its almost a perfect fit! I have a thick gold belt to hold in the loose waist but length with heels its perfect! Thank you all x
