Petite, 20, wedding afternoon tea - Help!

9 replies

TeenToTwenties · 23/09/2024 12:17

You guys have been really helpful before, hope you can be again.

Daughter age 20, 4ft11 size 10-12.
Normally wears jeans and a hoodie, not into fashion or makeup etc.

Needs something for an afternoon team wedding celebration in Oct half term. Smarter end of smart casual probably.
Likes rich reds and blues and purples and black.
(Bonus points if can be reused for funerals, but that is probably pushing it.)

Any suggestions? Don't want to spend too much if can help it unless likely to be reworn.

Something from

Sister Jane

or

Sister Jane jacket sold out there probably available elsewhere]]

Their clothes are generally designed on a very small scale.

@MuddlerInLaw Thank you for your suggestion.
Can you suggest now something completely opposite to Sister Jane please? Smile

DD won't like gigantic puff sleeves or fussy bows.

Do Oasis and Warehouse still exist online? I have dresses from both that I’ve worn for weddings and funerals. I’m fat now but was size 8 and 5’ 2” at the time said dresses were bought.

Have a look at Next. They have a good selection of petite dresses.

That's nice, as are other Oasis ones. Thank you.
What would you match it with for more warmth end October?

Thank you will look there too.

DD doesn't like shopping centres, so finding good online options is important.

I’ve never been the most stylish but I’d use a plain black cardigan or blazer.

Thank you. We found something from Quiz.
