Favourite wedding guest dress?

I'm going to my first wedding as a mummy later this month and just can't decide what to wear. I'm short (5'1) and somewhere between a 10/12 now, with a fairly large chest (34E) and a mum tum.

I'd love to really dress up and look great, but I'm getting used to my new body and I feel lots of styles look quite frumpy. I quite like dresses that look a bit different, with a striking but modern pattern, or a fun but flattering shape.

I've seen a few dresses on Sezane that I love, but they may be too informal.

I quite like these from Karen Millen:

What have you been lusting over for the wedding season?

Probably looking to spend up to £200.

The first 2 are gorgeous!

I think the black and white one is awful. Very vanilla. I'd go for the shorter one if it were me but both are beautiful!

I love the second one 😍 Sounds like it would be ideal for your height & figure.

MariaVT65 · 11/06/2024 15:31

Both lovely, but as someone who is similar height to you, i’d say the longer one may need taking up, so go for the shorter one!

I love the first two. In fact now eyeing up the second one myself for a wedding Grin

I think they are gorgeous but the extra floral material (sorry can't articulate that properly, thank you menopause for the brain fog) will not good with a bust your size. In fact I'd stay away from halternecks full stop.
