Wedding Guest Outfit - BOLD dress code

7 replies

RascalQueen · Today 16:22

Wedding in August. Garden wedding, not going to be huge but one half is Irish.

I'm planning on wearing some gold block heels (no stilettos becuase of the garden).

The dress code is BOLD. Now, I'm more of a classic wedding guest dresser so this has thrown me a bit.

I'm 5'4'', blonde balayage hair, blue eyes (do not suit purples, yellows or orange). Late 30's, size 12-14 with a bit of a mum-tum.

I have ordered this jumpsuit but I don't love it - very heavy polyester which might not be great in August: https://www.nobodyschild.com/products/nc-x-lisou-pink-crepe-one-shoulder-jay-draped-jumpsuit-p255571pnk?_gl=15643js_upMQ.._gs*MQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQjwgr_NBhDFARIsAHiUWr4LtMTBA6jYu3cfM27m_iEhgVf8WFMb3aHtg4MEN0RaQE522HBYUqkaAjP_EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&gbraid=0AAAAADQCJIUMRZZKn5E7qngOHFvwhROfq

There is also a part of me that's considering turning myself into a human disco ball:

I know some people hate dress codes, but they are such a fun couple that I really want to do the dress code proud and have some fun.

The jumpsuit fits the bill fine. I like it.
I’m sorry but the dresses are gawd awful.

Well you are much braver than me. I wasn't expecting anything SO bold 😆
I too like the jumpsuit. I don't like the dresses. That pink disco ball dress has no support. (I ask because I absolutely can't even have a strapless bra without my boobs bouncing off my knees!)

John Lewis have a sale currently but nearly all their jumpsuits are also nylon. What is it with UK clothing that its all plastic! Sorry I'm no help, but a hopeful bump to someone that can.

There’s bold and bold. These three look like fancy dress!

Vivian of Holloway and a big petticoat.
jumpsuits aren’t bold this year.
