Silk dress for daughters wedding

[Namechangefor2026]

I am 5ft 4 and 10.5 stone. I am really not very stylish but want something spectacular for my daughter’s wedding in a hot country. I have recently lost weight and will lose more beforehand i will be around 10stone hopefully. I don’t mind what the cost is as I am quite frugal usually. I would love something in bright colours and maybe for example raw silk. But open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance. Xx

This is the original thread. Doubt if any of the other dress suggestions would suit (a Scottish ceilidh in winter!) - but some of the sandals/pumps that I suggested might!!! 😁

Mango does lovely satin maxi dresses especially in summer. Although they’re not silk, they’re light and airy to wear in the heat. Here’s one you could wear with a bra with a low back converter:

i got a dress from there a few years ago which was a gorgeous golden orange cowl neck maxi backless number. I hope you find something!

Hi everyone. Sorry for not getting back to the thread until now.

I have gone back over all the suggestions and thank you for all of them.

For the wedding I have just ordered the Erdem Blue from the quoted text. Thanks @StatisticallyChallenged . I think it will be perfect!

Looks wonderful!

Beautiful! Can't really go wrong with Erdem ... hope it's perfect, & that you have a wonderful time!
