Summer wedding guest dress for pale blonde

19 replies

WinnerwinnerGinfordinner · 13/05/2024 19:55

Help needed to find a dress for a few weddings and functions this summer.
I'm pale (and I don't fake tan) blonde with a hint of warmth to it. Size 12-14 small waist, mum tum, reasonable sized boobs, age 40 (although age doesn't really matter). Don't like anything too short and don't want strapless but anything else goes.
I had decided I wanted a green dress to wear with gold accessories but having failed to find anything yet I'm open to anything.
Needs to be budget friendly so nothing massively spendy but happy to push the budget for something amazing.
So what have you all seen out there thar I might have missed? Thank you

Yeah so that's code for I shouldn't spend too much really but I am easily swayed by pretty clothes 😀 and could afford to spend more if I had to.
Ideally under £80 but for something gorgeous that I would wear lots I'll spend more because I've been looking for ages and not found anything yet

And you can get 15% off I think so would almost be on budget.

If it had 2 sleeves then I'd like it but I don't do strapless even if it's only one side!

I have actually looked at this one but I wasn't sure about the frill around the bottom

I just got this today. It's a nice bold colour and suits me - also a pale blonde. Works with gold (but not those sandals!).

That's a gorgeous colour I don't think I've ever tried that colour before but I definitely will now

Love those. I used to wear loads of fifties style dresses but seem to have stopped recently but I will have a look as they always suited me

Oh that is stunning. I'm always scared of satin clinging to the lumps and bumps I'm not a fan of but that colour is gorgeous in satin so might have to try it. I do love green with bright pink and have a green and pink leopard print jumpsuit so I could go for bright pink instead of gold (I was only thinking gold because they would go with any colour and therefore I'd get more wear out of them as my heel wearing days a few and far between now!)

They are the exact shoes I was considering and they do them in pink too! Actually that's a lie the shoes I want are the Esska ones but I can't justify those for the amount they would get worn so these are my back up plan!

Also stunning. I think I need you to come and be my personal shopper please!
