I need to shop for a wedding outfit this morning to wear this afternoon? Where to go? What style to aim for???

[BoxedOff]

the dry cleaner LOST the dress I was going to wear so please HELP

i can go to a large shopping centre like Westfield or I can go to the centre of London as the wedding is there so I have a wide choice of shops. I want to choose a dress this morning online, call the shop to check it’s in stock, then go. Help me find a good dress.

I want a really smart, eye catching, well made and eye catching outfit. I want colourful as that’s the instruction for the wedding.

I am 50 years old. 5’11’’. Size 10. Quite small bust (c cup but they look smaller for some reason). I have hair that used to be brown and is now lots of caramel highlights to hide the grey.

because of my height and age I won’t wear heels.

budget is generous. I could spend up to £500 on dress, acccessories etc but I would prefer much less.

i am giving a reading in the church so I need to look great and my face is not by best asset so I need the outfit to do the looking great. Any ideas?

It’s lovely! Well done making it through that turn of events so classily.

Stunning colour! Glad it all worked out

@BoxedOffthat’s gorgeous and totally fitted the dress code! I really want to know if you get your dress back from the dry cleaners though and how they compensate you if you don’t. I’d be gutted!

Wow! Absolutely beautiful jumpsuit - what a lovely friend you are x

That’s a simply stunning outfit well done to you given all the stress ! Your friend must be very proud of you

wow it's gorgeous, so glad you got sorted, what a nightmare!

What a flattering cut. Stunning choice, glad you found something

Gorgeous choice, I bet you looked great!

What an amazing choice. Glad it all worked out and I hope you get your dress back too.

Gorgeous choice!

Really stunning!

Utterly gorgeous!

Omg that’s fabulous!

Wow that wasn’t what I was expecting and is gorgeous 😍

Absolutely love the jumpsuit! What shoes did you wear in the end?

Why can’t I see it? The link just takes me to the MeandEm homepage and when I search jumpsuits on there I can’t find one in raspberry. I’m invested in this thread and am slightly peeved not to see the outfit!

@JulietSierra I found it by searching 'raspberry'. It's lovely!

What an amazing colour 😍

Is the dry cleaner compensating you for the loss of your dress ? I hope you find something you really like.

its a fabulous outfit

Chef's kiss- that's delicious.
Losing your dress and owing you financial compensation aside, I really think your dry cleaner did us all a favour.
I'm so glad this was a triumph, for both you and your dear friend.

LOVE what you chose!
I'm late to the comments but I had something similar happen to me last year, and Harvey Nichols in knightsbridge was a god send.

I actually love that jumpsuit.

@BoxedOff did the dry cleaner find your dress and if not are they compensating you appropriately??
