Wedding guest outfit

I've looked but getting a but overwhelmed with options. I'm going to a late May wedding dress code is smart casual. I'm late 30s dark hair size 10/12. I like jumpsuits but as i suffer from endo and adenomyosis I'd prefer a co ord set or dress. I don't mind having my legs out or arms although if short sleeved something that I can wear a cuffed or very chunky bracelet with would be helpful. I have a deformity of my wrist which I'm still very self conscious about so the option to hide it if I haven't managed to embrace it would be fab. Colour im not fussy about. Budget is about £100. Any ideas or inspiration would be greatly received.

Something like this, maybe? You could get away with a variety of types of heel: sandal, closed toe, or some pointed flats. Floral High Low Wrap Maxi Dress | Izabel London. You could also easily pair it with a cuff bracelet

It would save time to know where you’ve already looked, @Perpetualstateofchaos. And what your height is. If you weren’t already overwhelmed with choices I’d have suggested

as a good place to get a broad view of what’s newly available at every price point.

Zara has a few gorgeous things but it’s impossible to know if they’re your style. And also it’s perhaps a little early to pick something for late May. The end of March - or at least the spring sales - might be a better moment to buy.

Thank you both I love the dres in the green. Think I'm overwhelmed as I haven't been to a wedding in about 15 years. I've just looked at high street stores I tend to live in leggings and oversized tshirt dresses. Definitely been more of a comfort style. I want a bit of a wow factor after a tough year with my health so will have a look at zara and the link you sent too.

Actually - there are only a couple of decent dresses on Zara right now - I’m sure there’ll be more soon. (Worth sorting prices in descending order and only bothering with the more expensive pieces.)

I saw a wonderful looking wide bangle at Massimo Dutti but can’t find it at the moment. They do have this:

Summer bangle

You may have your own of course - I’m constantly on the lookout for a similar reason.

@BetsyRegards that's pretty much the sort of bangle I'm thinking of. Nice and chunky to hide the odd shape of my wrist but won't cover my scar or tattoo.
