Summer clothes ...is this it?

I am looking for a summer wedding outfit. I can't do dresses for various reasons and have been looking, ordering and ultimately sending things back. Will there be anymore releases from the stores or is this it?

What are you looking for rather than a dress?

I have ordered jumpsuits (not keen on these tbh ) and feminine linen trouser suits.

Please tell me that all the summer clothes haven't been released already....and that more options will come in ?

I see new releases every week in different stores.

Where have you looked? What colours and styles are you looking for?

I have looked at m&s /John lewis /seasalt now looking at more expensive brands but sizing might be an issue ...I am size 18 but aiming for 16 for the day.

Don't particularly want to spend a lot of money as I live a reasonably quiet life...don't go out much ....but i want to make sure I can wear them again, so figured if I get a trouser suit I can wear them individually at a later date. I'm also not a girly girl so flowery fluffy things aren't me, nor do they suit me...but likewise I want to look feminine. I had ordered a pale pink suit from m&s but for some reason they decided to not add a button to the jacket nor a vent which didn't look right on me sadly.

Now thinking of ordering from Reiss/ Jaeger/ Sezane ( i live very rural) but it pains me to spend so much money on one outfit . I'm not one of the main guests but i am extended family.

What about this suit from next?

Thanks for this ! Sorry would have come back sooner but all sorts of madness happened today.

It is along the lines of what I'm looking for but I'm veering toward linen as I think it will be more slimming amongst other things. (The less bulky the material the less bulky I am.. iyswim) But thank you for this I never thought of looking at NEXT at all so it has opened up some other options !!

Shops release new stuff all the time, it’s perpetual. It’s how they keep people spending

Love the suit, and the jacket is a bit more fitted too. !! I didn't even realise Debenhams was still on the go. Thank you for your help Illpickthatup.

I think they went into administration then were bought over. They're online only now.
