Help me complete my outfit: low key wedding, 50 something bride

[Scrabblingabout]

Ok so following my previous thread, I have now got a lovely wool cream A line midi skirt. I now need a satiny/silky top and will wear this plus a wool coat and a nice cashmere wrap for our registry office wedding in the new year. It's all low key. Ideas for the top would be great. I am quite small and want something very slim fitting.

@EleanorMc67 kudos for your work! Tons of options there 😊

Wow what a brilliant response. Off to read the replies but a big thank you to all.

@EleanorMc67 thank you! Love that you found so many ideas that my googling did not.

I like the sequiny slim fit ones. The jackets are all too wide or boxy for my frame and the look I want, albeit I know they are probably more fashionable. I am a short size 4/6 on top and want to emphasise that not be lost in fabric.

The skirt is cream, slightly A line, midi pencil skirt.
I want something that will tuck in neatly with no bulk.

I am not keen on lace for some reason.

Can you tell that I couldn't sleep last night, @anon2022anon & @Scrabblingabout ?!! It was a fun bit of googling!

Glad you like the sequinned ones. I think if they're delicate/not too flashy, they'd look great against wool for a winter wedding. One thing though - I was at a party at the weekend & a woman there was wearing a long-sleeved sequin top for the first time - & she said any time she put her arms against her body the sequins stuck together!! My sequin tops are all short-sleeved so I hadn't thought of that - so something to check if you try some on.

Does it have to tuck in? Or would neat & sitting just on/around the waist suit?

And do you have a budget?

This one is a French 34 or XS. It's a fab label & I think its gorgeous. It's new, but on Vestiaire.

It also comes in a sleeveless version on (weirdly) Amazon. A flesh-coloured bra/vest would be needed!!!

The sequinned tops that I have (& love) are all from Whistles. Their current version is more silvery - & maybe too flashy. Also not in your size right now but they do a petite 4 & 6 so you might find one in a store via customer services that could be posted to you?

This is a very different vibe, but is neat & sequinned & rather cute!

I have this one & love it - though bought it for much less on eBay! The shoulder detail is slightly 1930s.

Would you consider second-hand? I buy almost all my clothes that way now, but understand you might not want to for this occasion!

I also have & love this one. The thing about silvery/goldy sequins is that they reflect light back up at your face softly - & they make your skin look amazing!!!

This one is in your size on Vinted, new.

Love this - but slightly too big for you?

The thought of sequins near my crotch ... hmmm. But it's fitted & would tuck into your skirt perfectly! The ruffle detail & low back make it quite special too.

Another lovely one - though a very cool cream/grey.
