Wedding Guest Dress

[DD0]

Hello,
I am currently trying to find a nice wedding guest dress for a wedding in August.

I’ve recently lost a lot of weight, dropping from a size 22 down to a size 10. My breasts have suffered, they are non existent anymore! However, my waist is now tiny so I really want to find a dress to show that off.

I’ve found a few dresses that I like, but they all seem to be from websites that seem a bit dodgy.

Am I likely to be able to find this style of dress anywhere on the high street?

Picture attached to show what I mean.

Thanks in advance!

Are those the colours you are looking for too?

there are lots!

How about this?

Dark Pink Strappy Volume Hem Midi Dress

I have been looking for ages and not found any of those! Thank you both for your suggestions!

I don’t know what to search for and I swear I end up just going blind scrolling through all the pages.

@IdontjetwashthefuckerI’m open to any colours, I usually go pastel with some pattern but I do like the pink one @WashableVelvet just posted. Unfortunately not in stock in my size!

Look at Club L & House of Cb. I just wore a beautiful yellow strapless dress from Club L for my BIL wedding.

This could easily be dressed up with great accessories. Quite a bargain! I have a feeling that getting it tailored a touch would make it look really great.

Do you like & suit red?

There seem to be quite a few red ones in that shape!

Or, if you want to stick with pink floral ... though I think for a wedding this is borderline - I think it's maybe a bit too much, boobs wise ...??!

This might be worth keeping an eye out for - currently out of stock in most sizes.

Not sure why photo didn't show.

This KM one is cotton too (the one above with the zip is cotton sateen, which is slightly shiny).

Polyester, annoyingly. But a good shape & pretty print?

A Boden one in several colourways. More covered up, but I'd prefer that than to be too exposed at a wedding.
