5ft 5 is quite diddy for a maxi dress but will have a look around.

do you like this?

Think I need more info. How in/formal is the wedding? What colours suit you?

AngryPixie · 30/04/2010 12:13

this is pretty

But it is very long on the model & I'm guessing she's 5'8+

Miss Selfridge have one with a bandeau top that is all sequins. It looks dressy and special for a maxi dress. I thought to myslef if I had a wedding to go to, id buy it!

Theres a tendancy for them to look a bit 'everyday' what with them, being so fashionable this year.

worth the extra £20?

AngryPixie · 30/04/2010 12:24

Quite retro but I think I love it

mama2LeahAndAisha · 30/04/2010 14:10

i like blues/purples/blacks/turquoise

i have Asian skin complexion but the lighter side.

i want something abit different, as someone mentioned they are now looking ordinary.

i really like the mango one, but i think it may be abit not sparkly.

there are lots of suggestions on this thread

Failing that I brought a beautiful Alice & Oliver maxi off Ebay last year - it is pure silk and absolutly devine. I couldn't afford a new one - they are about £400 but I picked mine up for about £60. I haven't had an event to wear it to yet but i can't wait because it is georgeous and pure luxury! Try looking on the net a porter website for a designer you like and then see if you can pick something up on Ebay maybe?
