Dress for christening in July

[Loser85]

Really wanting to wear a dress for this but not sure which style would be best. Im a size 26. I seem to ditering with a maxi dress but a lot of maxi dresses seem to be too long for me but not sure if petite sizes would fit. Stuck

A petit size should fit, in 5.0" I find I'm the same size in a petit as I am a normal size! Maxi dress would b a good choice or something that comes in on the waist then flows over ur belly to help slim ur figure (not saying u need it, is just a flattening style)! Can u not try on a couple and see what looks best?

Petite are just the same sizes but proportioned for shorter people so you should be ok! Saying that I still find some of the short or petite ranges still too long for me!

Not many shops do my size on the rails so i have to rely on my catalogue. Thats why im trying to figure out styles etc before i buy. Would a white maxi dress be ok for a christening? If i brighten it up maybe with a colourful shrug??

If you're buying from your catalogue order a few dresses in different style, sometime we think something doesn't suit us, try it on & it's ok.

I'm not sure about white, what colouring do you have?

 

[Loser85]

Brown/red hair. (depends on the dye job!) Not overly pale with brown eyes.

Ive seen a nice summery dress on simply be, white with blue flowers on. Very pretty but do they offer free returns if its no good?? Anybody know?

Never ordered from simply b but I wouldn't personally go with plain White unless u have a good tan, but if it's covered in blue flowers I think it would be great for a christening!

Joe Browns Crinkle Summer Days Dress | Simply Be


Joe Browns Fresh & Floral Dress | Simply Be


like both of these, plus i'll get 20% off with it being my 1st order.

My vote goes to the fresh and floral dress!

 

[Happy Holidays]

Mine goes for the fresh & floral, it will suit your colouring

They do free returns, I have been a customer with them for years, I love the joe brown range bit funkier than most ranges

 

[sarah88]

Deff the fresh and floral!

 

[Loser85]

Thanks all

Still tempted to order both and see how they fit. Will post pics once they arrive.

I would order a choice, some fabrics look nicer in flesh rather than catalogue. When they deliver check there is a number on for returns and they will collect to save you taking it to post office though u can do that if it's easier.

Yeah love simply be, i nearly always order stuff in 2 sizes just to see what fits best =P

 

[Loser85]

Ended up with something totally different!

My mum bought a maxi dress but it was too long for her so i tried it. Ended up buying it off her. Tis blue with orange flowers and im going to wear my white shrug with it.

Will post pics after the christening

Sounds nice!
