MOTB dress help

[scoobs321]

My DDs wedding is fast approaching and although I've tried on many dresses and have kind of got an ok dress, I'm not 100% sure it's the one. Wedding will be bright and colourful, church followed by gorgeous victorian conservatory venue reception. I'm 56, 5'8 Sz 14-16 with a largishbust/hourglass figure.
I want a block coloured magenta/,fuscia pink which i think will complement my hair which is salt& pepper but is being grey blended and styled before the big day.

Can I have your honest (but not too harsh) opinions please?
The one I think I'll go with is fron Wallis from vinted having exhausted my search for a new one online. I can upload the others that I have also bought.

Also to say I prefer longer length as I do have a pesky varicose vein in my calf that I'm a bit self conscious of.

@scoobs321 your first dress looks great. Given the colour there are some great fake orchid hair clips out there that you could wear in your hair or on a bag

Yes. I love that

Looks like a maternity dress and the sleeves are over fussy - awful!

now I know that Shein is frowned upon, but I got sucked in to buying these, lovely quality, chunky and really stunningly different. Wore to recent wedding and got lots of compliments.

Can only do images linking wont work 🤨

Your first dress is lovely and really suits your figure.
As MOTB, I think you should wear a hat or fascinator, I think it’s important to look a bit more important! Lots of the guests will be in nice outfits and I think you might want to stand out from them. Plus if MOTG’s look is top to toe, you might feel underdressed with a bare head.

Hey What do I know? But I'd choose something a bit less fitted. Maybe a small pattern. Accessories need to be up to the minute, not frumpy.

The dress looks stunning on you and will be perfect with the right shoes and some jewellery.
