Help! My DB is getting married on the beach in Mexico this summer. Desperately seeking a dress as a guest. Am 55 yrs old, size 10 but a bit of a menopausal tummy. 5’5”. Blond hair. DSIL and her friends are dressy ladies so feeling I need to up my game! Don’t want to look dumpy. And also nothing sweaty!!!

It’s Farm Rio! 😂

I do like the The Fold dress in orange, though it’s a shame it’s not maxi length. (The midi can’t avoid veering into office, or city wedding.)

The Fold usually offer 10% off for signing up and they have a service that you can have a number of items delivered and only pay for any you keep. I have bought a number of things from them and their quality is very good.
