I have a wedding to attend this Month, it's a formal affair, dress code is black tie & summer formal.

I am 5'4 for reference and a size 8. I've attached a picture as my waist is quite 'square' and some dresses can make be look a bit blocky.
i would like to wear heels and was thinking of wearing a block heal.

budget £200, would like to buy something I'll wear again. I haven't managed to find anything I like yet, I like pastel colours over block dark colours, modest but something I feel confident in.
I have blonde hair if that makes any difference.
im 30, so dont want anything too frumpy.
if anyone has any suggestions please let me know, thank you!

Ohh yes just noticed the green is backless and will def show your figure off from behind! How do you feel about going without a bra though? Agree if the ceremony is in a church you might want a coverup for modesty, but it looks great for after the church.

Is the wedding service in a church. Don't think backless dress would work for that without cover up.

No, it's in a manor. It's not a religious ceremony

Yeah I love the backless bit of the dress! I would need some tape or nipple covers though as the slightest bit of cold and it looks like I'm smuggling raspberries and any satin material really sticks out with cold nips!

im going to order the navy bodycon and both green dresses & see which one i like best i think!
