Mother of Graduation Student Dress

[Outonaledge]

I'm 5ft 7, chubby (well fat!) 14 and a half stone... and need a dress for my ds graduation in July at Canterbury Cathedral.

I like this dress, but not sure a) where to get it, and b) would it look good on a dumpy 53 year old woman?

It’s a Staud Jackson dress. I searched the image.

I think it will look lovely on you. Track it down and try it on 🙂

Wow, thank you

I'll have a look on vinted

The photo has the name of the dress in it! It's nice.

I wore something very similar in Durham cathedral last year, but from Anthropologie. Perfect for a sunny day with sitting/standing.

I don't think you're going to find it on vinted unfortunately as it's a bit niche. It doesn't look like they sell that particular style any more but this is very similar

Yeah, that's the one.

Out of my budget, hoping not to spend more than £50

This Boden dress isn't a million miles away https://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/eve-linen-midi-dress-black/sty-d0849-blk

This marks and Spencer one is similar - but lacks sleeves

It's more than twice the OP's budget.

These are a bit similar. Still over £50 but not by much.

Just make sure you wear good shoes. There's a lot of walking up and down the (cobbled in places) high street for graduation and you may have a reception to attend at a different venue, lots of standing up. No heels is my advice.

Thank you, I'm flats kinda gal, but appreciate the advice

I need more of an Aline I think, as I'm way over weight at the moment
