Family wedding - outfit help!

8 replies

Teamustbefromateapot · 05/03/2026 16:58

After another failed Vinted purchase 💔 I am looking for some help. I have a family wedding in two weeks and just cannot find a dress! This will be my first spring / summer dress without a bf baby or a baby bump in 5 years and I have lost all ability to dress myself!

I would love something less 'mumsy' than the things I've had to wear with baby in tow, but at a loss. Ideally thinking something maxi or long midi in length, though not opposed to an amazing mini! Nothing super plunge neckline.

Late 20s. Size 10 but with some diastasis going on so would like something flattering / distracting from the belly! Typical Irish colouring (v pale, grey eyes, auburn hair) so very pale or pastel colours aren't for me. I'd ideally like to stick to a budget of under £100 for a dress.

Any ideas?! All help so gratefully received!!

Would you rent?

Love a jumpsuit, so many to choose from.

Can't figure out how to reply.. sorry! I wouldn't be opposed to renting but would be worried about getting something so close to the date then it not working. Would much prefer a dress. A jumpsuit would feel out of place in our area!

I really love that, but think it would cling to all the lumps and bumps I'm trying to distract from!

One word. Spanx.
