For a wedding. I had my invite upgraded from evening to full day guest quite late in the game! Need a dress quick, under 2 weeks.

Want something colourful! Preferably with short sleeves and pockets and flattering on a tummy (pre-operative hernia). Colour will make me feel more confident in my body that I'm not currently friends with.

Budget up to £100.

Thanks!

I LOVE this one, it's gorgeous 🤩

Over budget though I'm going to try and stretch to it. Thanks!

i wore a short sleeve version of this to a wedding, it was lovely and comfortable and easy to accessorise due to all the colours. This site is great for dresses and very reasonable.

Might be too late, but I would suggest something from Scarlett and Jo - super comfy, flattering and lots of lovely colours - this might fit the bill Scarlett and Jo

That one is actually in the sale in the Boden site, might bring it more into budget?

Thank you!! £101.50 in the sale and they have all the sizes in stock. Much more palatable price.

I'm doing it, thank you everyone 🙏

You’re going to look fabulous OP. So glad someone found it cheaper as well! I’ve been eyeing it up for ages but haven’t found an excuse to buy it yet

Try Popsy, lots of colourful dresses with pockets. Comfortable fabric and all have pockets.

You are the sixth poster on this thread to suggest them... Are you all on commission?

Rebecca Adlington last night had a fabulous boden dress on. I have seen it on instagrammers also. It was fab on her

Try Girl in Mind, loads of colourful ones there!

Sahara and East have beautiful clothing, not cheap but very different and the fabrics are first class.

Fedupandstressed · 03/08/2024 20:40

I have this one, and a few other Twisted Wunder dresses. Most of them have pockets!

They are lovely, and so bright!

Dontblameusok · 03/08/2024 22:37

Look at Khaadi and studiobytcs . They are Pakistani stores and our clothes are mostly colourful. We don’t wear dull colours in our culture

PracticalLady · 04/08/2024 01:10

Try Roman, they have some really pretty dresses.

blackfriars · 04/08/2024 07:50

This has been a very expensive thread to read!! Bought the nobody’s child dress mentioned about three times but have worn it every day since Friday so getting my pounds per wear already! Also fallen in love with stine goya and ordered some options for a wedding next month…thanks all!

This is actually a lovely dress (it looks beautiful on the second model on the website, especially with the belt) but my god why have they made the first model look so bad?

I was genuinely perplexed until I scrolled.

Right? I don’t get the first picture at all 😂 It looks SO much better with the belt, heels and no trousers underneath too. I think I saw it on Instagram first luckily which swayed me to buy it.

Sahara and East have beautiful frocks

I wore this to an event last weekend and couldn't believe the amount of compliments I received about it. Appreciate it may be a bit too red for you but it does tick the rainbow box 😊

Oooh, that looks great. I've ordered it - I don't have a wedding to go to, but I fancy a late summer treat, and that's one of the few dresses on this thread within this month's budget!

Popsy has a weird cult following, and I think a klaxon goes off in one of the private Facebook groups at times like this. Unfortunately, I think Popsy dresses are overpriced for polyester that bobbles quickly and looks cheap.
