Wedding Guest Dress

[Winbourneflight]

I need some inspiration. I have a wedding to attend in 2 weeks. I was planning to wear a green lace self portrait dress that I bought on Vinted. However I have realised that it's going to be too warm as the fabric is heavy.

I am 45, 164cm tall, weigh 75kg, so usually around a size 14, with dark hair and pale skin. I am pear shaped so look best when my waist is emphasised and my hips are skimmed over. I am happy with either a dress or skirt & top combination but jumpsuits don't work on me. I don't like anything tight round my neck. Budget is up to £250 and would consider renting something.

I need natural fabrics as I'm peri menopausal and constantly too hot & sweaty. I've looked at Reiss, Ted Baker, Karen Millen, Self Portrait, Reformation, Ba&sh. I tend to go for plain fabrics but would consider print although I'm not massively keen on florals. I like most colours. I'd like to look modern and edgy rather than traditional. The wedding is in a hotel and should be pretty laid back rather than formal.

I'd love some suggestions if you think you can help.

Obviously they also have other dresses!

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

Maybe this could be a possibility?

I love the Iris colour that Me & Em are doing this year, this is in the sale….all sizes available too!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

The Me&Em one is closest to my style, I even have a patterned version of that dress saved to my style inspiration. Unfortunately it’s 100% Polyester so I can’t wear it in summer.

The LK Bennet one is a lovely colour, the fabric says it’s a viscose silk mix which is great but then says 100% polyester, so I wonder if it is lined with polyester. I think I’m going to have this problem a lot given my budget, maybe rental is the way forward.

Id not heard of the company daydress so it’s good to find a company that I hadn’t heard of before. I particularly love their pyjamas!

Sorry @WinbourneflightI didn’t check the fabric composition, at that price I assumed it would be a silk crepe 🙄

Someone recommended Palava on another thread. Natural fabrics, lots of fit and flare dresses and although they are mostly print, the designs are quite offbeat and definitely not MOR florals.
