Wedding guest outfit

[DahliaRose3]

Hello,

I need some help with a wedding guest outfit for this month pretty please. I l haven’t shed the baby weight yet. I’m 5’2, short torso & longer legs, a curvy size 14 with big boobs, wide shoulders/back so puffy sleeves are best avoided, as is too much fabric & volume. I would like sleeves but not too loose, or a weird length.

A midi or maxi please as I would prefer to not show my legs currently, and I’m an hourglass/apple (fat belly), so it needs to be cinched somewhat at my waste ☺️

Look at The Pretty Dress Company..sales section.

The OP is a size 14.

Scarlett and Jo sizes start at 12!

Yes but they go up to size 32.

I'm a 14/16 I 'd never look at them. All mainstream brands at all price points do size 14.

I always find wrap dresses really flattering, what about something like this?

Thank you for the suggestions ☺️

Wrap dresses, or empire waist or something with a slit work well on me. I get a bit swamped with too much fabric & look much bigger. Halter neck suit me too but I would prefer to hide the arm flab this time around, plus it may be a bit chilly. I prefer something a bit more contemporary or classic, but not overly floral or mature.

The JL linked one is pretty but the flutter sleeves won’t suit me sadly. The oasis would have been lovely if I were a size 10 again & there were less ruffles on the bottom!

Budget - ideally max £120 or less; but with a few days to go it may have to be more!

These are some dresses I love but are not quite right for me:

https://www.monsoon.co.uk/harlow-lace-maxi-dress-black-20000540001.html Too long for me according to the reviews

Please keep the suggestions coming.

I am very excited as my younger son is getting married this summer - my first time as mother of the groom. I am a petite size 14 and would prefer a short sleeved, v neck dress around knee length but everything I see seems too long and would either swamp me or be a trip hazard. Any suggestions?? Thank you.
