Wedding guest dress ideas for a size 24

Hey,
Im late 30s , 5”9 and E cup chest aswell.
i like lace and prefer maxi dress style as I don’t like to show my legs.
want to be flattering but don’t want a sack either. Which can be tricky when plus sized.
thanks in advance, so far I’m looking at some lace style or floral styles xx

Have you had a look on yours/Evans?
Sometimes they do nice dresses that match the description of what you are after?
I get most of my clothing from there.

There are 2 in particular Chesca and Box 2. Also Yours Clothing and I called in my local one and they have a range from Evans. Roman dresses are worthy for a wedding. The ever mentioned M&S is worth a look. Also there are a few online places that do nice dresses just put plus size dresses and you will get info. Persnally I don't know how to do photo links like some do on here so I am sure you will have some that do.

Im a 24/26 - have a look at Phase 8 - they do plus size and I've worn several to weddings. Also on Simply Be, Joanna Hope dresses are good and wedding appropriate. If you sift through the crap, you'll also find some on Ssos but they can be quite bridesmaidy.

Simply Be have a good selection.

this popped up on my Facebook page yesterday and I thought it was really nice.

One of my friends is tall and a size 22/24 and she has several dresses from https://www.scarlettandjo.com

Hi OP. I’ve just put your search requirements into Vinted and there’s plenty of wedding guest dresses, size 24 and maxi length … including some with lace!
Here’s just a couple of examples although the photos aren’t great.

That’s lovely, perfect for a wedding.

I mention them alot but Joanie is really good for wedding guest dresses. They go up to a 26 and are cut well for more rubenesque figures.
(makes me wish I had a wedding to go to!).

Look on Vinted for "Donald Stanley". I have worn several of her dresses to weddings and fancy events. Especially the sequin ones. Unfortunately she's not making them any more as they are fab for plus size.

See also Isolated Heroes, but finding hers in a plus size is hit and miss.

Evans is now owned by Yours, but there still seem to be clothes exclusive to them on their own website

@TheNaturalBronde I like the purple too.
