Yeh I would get a cropped jacket or pashmina and I don’t burn thankfully

I find that sort of dress annoying because the ‘flesh coloured’ lining bears no relation to the colour of my flesh.

Curve ball but there’s also this.. not sure if it’s a bit too ‘party’? Again it looks longer on me..

I am 51 and wore this to a party last summer, it is gorgeous and I got a lot of compliments :)
I love the Maje one too - wear what you feel best in OP, and have fun!

It looks great on the blonde model!! I love it.

YorksMa · 19/05/2026 09:04

Absolutely not. Wrong colour.

TwinkleTwinkleX · 19/05/2026 09:10

I am also blonde 😊

@TwinkleTwinkleX If you are 50, no, 30 yes. Of course it’s ok for a pub wedding.

TwinkleTwinkleX · 19/05/2026 09:16

I do know what you mean.. with fake tan is fine thankfully 😊

I find people have no idea what’s fashionable on wedding threads. No idea of what type of wedding it is and what works for a size 6! My DD is 30 and a 6 and of course could wear any of those dresses. The Maje dress is interesting and it’s in a pub!!! It’s a dress that would be good enough for the Ritz though. It’s a cool summer pastel and perfect. @TwinkleTwinkleX You really won’t get many people on MN who know about weddings and someone will come along and say Hobbs or Phase 8 and buy a bolero next!

TwinkleTwinkleX Any of the 3 will work. Personally, the Blue is my least favourite. EnjoySmile

The Sandro dress is best. First is too near white imo.

MeetMeOnTheCorner · 19/05/2026 10:23

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain Not that rubbish about white again! Itx tiresome. It is clearly a nude/blush colour. It’s not remotely bridal. It’s a fun wedding in a pub. It’s not Westminster Abbey!

Are these the blue & green ones? Sandro & Self Portrait? The detail on the blue one looks really nice close-up. They're both similar in vibe, re being short & strappy/sleeveless & pastel, & any would be fine for a relaxed, festival-ish wedding. I like the longer version of the Self Portrait more - but that's just my preference for those proportions.

I love all of these dresses. Your taste is very like mine. In fact I wore a similar dress to the pink one to a couple of weddings years ago, and loved wearing it. Sadly I’m a bit too old for this sort of look now (sob). Wear and enjoy!

Well OP can wear it if she likes then.

MeetMeOnTheCorner · 19/05/2026 18:19

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain Of course she should. It’s really not an issue at a pub reception or indeed at most weddings to look a certain way and avoid pale clothes. Pastel is fine!
