Size 20 with post baby tummy wedding guest dresses ideas

[MrsScotland]

Morning

I have two weddings in August and I am a at a loss where to look. I prefer a bit of a sleeve because then I don't have to buy/wear a jacket or cardi.

I'm a size 20 after having a baby, tummy is my worst bit. 5'7. Keen for something comfortable, probably will have to change out of heels after a while and will be baby wrangling! Doesn't need to be breast feeding friendly.

I've bought this but can still return, I want to love it and I like the body but feel swamped by the sleeves. Has anyone ever altered sleeves like this?

Ordered this too but it's way too bright and swamps me too!

Does anyone have any suggestions on places to look?

I am a 'muted summer' so trying to look for my best colours - candy pink, mint, seafoam, sage, basically dusky colours are good.

Thank you!

My favourite ever wedding guest dress was from pretty kitty

their “wrap top swing dresses” are comfortable to wear and flattering

That Coast blue dress is very nice and elegant. It really suits the model too. Have you got a bolero jacket in dark blue or black that you could wear over the top until the evening? Maybe that would help with feeling swamped. The arms are very generous, I think that lots of ladies feel a bit self conscious about their arms after a while, hence why they have offered quite ruffled or busy arms. But it is a very elegant dress that you could wear again, and again.
