Dress for destination wedding

4 replies

Uppabye · 19/04/2025 14:20

Heading to a destination wedding over the summer. Temperature will be close to 30 degrees, although it doesn't start until the evening so will miss the intense heat.
I'm looking for something a bit wow to wear. I've had 2 babies in the last 3 years and have lost all sense of what's nice so hoping for some inspiration here.

About me: Age 35, size 16 on top, size 18 in bottom. Brunette, pale skin (will have light tan on to cover blotchiness)

Dress: midi/maxi length, ideally sleeves to cover upper arms but wouldn't want anything tight with the heat. Happy to wear bold colours and patterns.

I generally like dresses that are fitted around the bust and then flow down. I find high necklines often don't suit me. I carry weight around my belly/hips/bum and don't want anything clingy there.

Any ideas? Thank you ♥️

Edit: never gave a budget! Up to £120/130 would be ideal, but willing to spend a bit more if it was a versatile dress I could wear to events in the future.

I don’t have a suggestion but I’d suggest going for a natural fibre - cotton or silk - if it’s going to be hot!

Oh this is beautiful! I'd wonder if the long sleeves would be a bit much in the heat though 🤔
