Help me find a wedding guest dress

Wedding is end of August so something summery, I’m quite short (5’2) size 16, two small children so I never really get the chance to wear anything that fancy and it’s also not really my style - always dress quite casual. I have huge boobs and a C-section pouch and dislike top of my arms being out. Please find the impossible for me as I’m clueless!

What’s your budget?
What kind of dresses do you normally like?

ParrotParakeet · 04/04/2025 16:20

Would you wear something like this? I would wear it with bright pink heels and big silver earrings!

I am 5 2 with big boobs. Though am a bit of a smaller size overall. I would wear a fitted top and voluminous skirt with heels. But ime most people prefer wearing dresses to weddings.

As ParrotParakeet said budget and what do you like?

I don't like Adrianna Papelle/ Gina Baconni/Phase 8/ Mint Velvet/Hobbs "wedding guest" dresses.

If I were looking for a money no object outfit I'd go for this Egg dress and jacket. The dress is sleeveless but would wear something with a neat collar and short sleeves under it.

Egg Amy dress
Egg Norbu jacket

Or more realistically something from Sister Jane

I bought this for an upcoming Wedding. I thought it looked pretty. A pp mentioned that they don't like Adrianna Papell dresses but I suppose everyone has different tastes so you'll get a lot of different styles in the comments.

Yes! I am also a fan of tulle.

I love this skirt. I would love to wear it with a plain fitted top and with some Sophia Webster high heels.

Nice skirt.

Although I guess all our suggestions must have been so horrific we've scared the OP away !
