I have a summer wedding to go to and am super excited.

I love pale greens and blues. I don't need anything too long or too short.

I am over 60, pretty short (5'2), can't wear heels, overweight, apple-shaped, and would rather not show tops of my arms or too much cleavage!

I love this dress. It is pretty much top of my price range.

That's a lovely dress, I'd wear it.

Shinyhappyapple · 30/04/2026 00:40

Agree - a very pretty dress and I would also wear it (similar age, size, shape to you and also love those colours).

TracyVer · 30/04/2026 01:03

The colours are gorgeous.

Italiangreyhound · 30/04/2026 01:05

Thank you so much.

I prefer the first dress .

JustGiveMeReason · 30/04/2026 16:27

I think they are both pretty, and completely 'right' for a Summer wedding.

I prefer the first one you linked to if you want me to choose (whilst keeping in mind things can look different on the models from upon us mere mortals). Well worth trying on a few to see which suits you best.

Thank you.

What do you think if this one.

https://www.roman.co.uk/petite-floral-frill-tiered-midi-dress-14531422

I have very pale skin and dark hair.

I don't usually wear orange or peach colours.

It’s prettier than the first one.
