No, it really doesn't suit you. What kind of wedding is it? What's your budget?

Rockaroundthexmastree · 13/08/2025 18:58

Church wedding, semi posh. Under £100. I am anywhere between a size 8-10. Very open to anything style wise!

Right, so you'll want to be a little more formal and polished,then? What style do you go for normally, what kind of labels?

It's ok but I don't like that you need to leave those buttons open in order to move, it looks wrong

JDM625 · 13/08/2025 19:08

Sorry, no, it doesn't do you any favours and I assumed you were much larger than a size 8-10. For a church wedding you should cover your shoulders, a pashmina would do, but the dress looks too thin, unstructured and casual for a wedding. Especially not suitable for a 'posh' wedding. I also don't like the slit being that high up and weirdly going up to the crotch 😬

Rockaroundthexmastree · 13/08/2025 19:11

I can’t say I have a particular style or labels to be honest - I just would like to look finished and be comfortable. I am not fussy on brands.

My waist is not particularly defined (3 kids and narrow hips) so I was trying to get some definition with this dress but it’s too big over the hips and a smidge tight on the waist and just makes me look bigger! So I got it all wrong. I also have a flared rib cage which doesn’t help the above.
I would like to wear my long hair (brown) down in a soft curl. So appreciate any help!

The dress is fully lined and from Lavish Alice. I have worn their stuff before and looks lovely but this one just isn’t for me!

i LOVE this Zara dress. Sadly I don’t think the colour would suit me. But it’s a similar fit to your dress so thought I’d post it. I’d wear with a jacket for the church but

Have a look for a reiss dress on Vinted. You can get some amazing bargains there

bloodymary2025 · 14/08/2025 02:04

Your not an 8 or 10, the dress you posted in only dose no favours bc its ( at least) two sizes too small. Would look good otherwise.

I'm not just being mean. I understand 'comming back into your body' and it being several sizes bigger than when you 'left'.

But size up. Especially in this heat.

user1471557598 · 14/08/2025 02:11

Ok I have this dress I wore for a wedding a month ago and quite happy to pass on! It’s a size 8-10 and I’m 5ft1
