Help me find dress for my son's wedding

I'm 64, size 16 and only 5ft 1in.

My son is getting married next summer in Spain and I cannot find a dress.

I like green and blue, maybe pink. Like florals. Don't like strappy ones. Don't mind sleeveless. Quite like Maxis but don't mind shorter. Have to be petite.

Budget upto £300 if find the right one but would rather under £150.

If anyone's bored please help me find a dress.

I got my mother of the groom dress from Roman. It fitted well was reasonably priced and very comfortable . Definitely worth a look.

I would look for something similar to this one, OP, in terms of silhouette and length.

I think that this length is more flattering to petites than maxi is.

You may find that the best choice of suitable dresses will be on the racks around Easter next year.

Most stores are moving towards their autumn/winter ranges at the moment, which may not work well for a summer wedding in Spain.

It’s a strange time to look! It’s nearly autumn! The sales might be getting you better value though.

Im assuming super hot in Spain next summer! I’ll see what I can find!

Would you consider Vinted as I am sure you would get an amazing MOG dress from there .I would imagine for Spain that natural fibres would be best. Have fun looking. There are not as many shops open as in the past. o you live near a city and can go and try things on.

Ok. These might be your style. The link one is a linen mix from Boden and can be dressed up but would be better for a more casual wedding. The pale blue and floral one are Phase 8 (I usually run a mile but the blue one is so elegant!). Then there’s Whistlrs spots and Gina Bacconi if more formal. Biden is from them and the others are John Lewis on line.
