Any ideas of what can wear that isn’t white!

size18, 5,9 so hoping a tan will help with wobbly arms and legs..!

A sun dress? DD was on Greece last summer and it was 40 degrees! I would do strappy and long with sandals. I don't see you have many options in that heat.

Aspiga has high summer dresses which I think would look great. Natural fabrics work best and not fitted!

Aspiga is a great idea.

It will be hotter than the face of the sun so linen or cotton only.

Make keeping cool a priority
My daughter got married in Turkey about 2 years ago and I wore a nice maxi dress with matching enormous hat
The hat was a godsend during the service at it was 40 degress even in the early evening
I was so hot by the end of dinner I took my knickers off in the ladies and they wouldn't fit in my bag so I binned them !

The material on my dress was not breathable and while turquoise was fairly dark so probs didn't yet help.
Try and stick with a light colour and perhaps cotton or really good quality breathable material.
I bought a pretty fan but seriously go for the all singing all dancing quiet battery one best you can buy
Some had ones that sort of propped on the table which propped on the table and looked great .
It's a fine balance between looking your best and being very uncomfortable
Oh and once my shoes came off my feet swelled so much I never managed to get them back on .
Not a pretty sight x
Enjoy
