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

[Italiangreyhound]

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.

Any suggestions, please.

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

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

The colours are gorgeous.

Thank you so much.

I think you will look lovely in that dress and I hope you have a wonderful time at the wedding.

Thank you so much all.

Any other suggestions fir dresses to suit a short, plump, oldie! Please?

That’s a lovely dress. A few more options from Phase Eight

That first dress is beautiful OP

It's perfect OP, you'll look wonderful. Enjoy!

Thank you.

What do you think if this one.

I have very pale skin and dark hair.

I don't usually wear orange or peach colours.

I prefer the first dress .

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.

It’s prettier than the first one.

I am also looking at this one Petite Geometric Print Pleated Midi Dress
Style:14564260
Colour:Navy

Oh, that's lovely

I particularly like the blue one, the Phase Eight one that somebody's linked to

I can't wear dresses because, well many reasons, but there's no loss because I just look like a potato in dress

But I enjoy looking at them

I hope you enjoy wearing them whichever one you choose!

It might be a good idea to order a couple and try them on, as often something that looks nice on the model doesn’t work with your body, and vice versa things can sometimes look nicer on than expected. I really liked your first dress, but looking again, it’s made from what it describes as being polyester ottoman fabric, which i think is a fairly thick fabric so may be a little too warm.

Have ordered two! Nervous.

Which ones did you order, Italiangreyhound? I know that you linked a Roman one. I love their collection, like this Lilac floral one. Makes me wish that I had a wedding to go to

This Green one from Next is also pretty.

I ordered this one, top of my price range from Wallis.

And also order this Roman one

but decided that i liked the first best.

I think i need an ivory or navy or grey or champagne coloured bolero jacket.

www.roman.co.uk/ruched-hem-chiffon-bolero-20022433 www.roman.co.uk/ruched-hem-chiffon-bolero-20022433 which coloured might go best with a white floral dress.

I would have said white but don't want to look like i am trying to be the bride!

@Italiangreyhound No-one in 2026 needs a bolero jacket! How to be a throw back in one easy lesson! Every jacket now is just below waist length and there’s loads to choose from. I’d avoid the trad motb look and go more modern.

I am 61, so not a spring chicken!

Great dress!
Which colour bag & shoes are you wearing? Are you wanting to match? I'd match the bolero colour & id choose one of the Blues from the dress for all 3 (although I don't think matching accessories is the 'done' thing!)

I was going g fir beige or cream shoes and bag.

But i like this....
