Need a dress for an evening wedding party

9 replies

And a retirement party the following day. Complete different people at both events so can wear the same thing as long as I don’t throw red wine over it!

You lot are so good at this and I’ve always been in awe of how quickly some of you find amazing clothes for other people. Any chance you could work your magic again?

Both events will have the same vibe - make an effort but won’t be super glam or too traditional. I’m size 12-14, slightly pear shaped, prefer a v or cowl neck dress. I look quite good in a wrap dress. I hate my legs so at least midi length. Colours - I like green, turquoise, bright blues and occasionally coral, orange and yellow. No black, purple or burgundy. I’ll probably wear sparkly ankle books but other shoe options are available!

Help me please!

Budget?

Ah yes. That would help. £200ish.

I’d go jump suit

Thank you. That’s definitely the right colour and worth a try. What are their sizing like?

I find jumpsuits really hard - if they fit on top they’re too tight on the bottom and vice versa. And they’re often too short in the body too. I made a couple which work but don’t have time to make myself an outfit before the events.
