Style Challenge: Need a dress for a summer wedding
Permalink Closed

Hi all!  I am having such a hard time deciding on a dress for an end of summer wedding that is taking place on Block Island (think Nantucket).  My normal sense of style is more chic, trendy; think black, drapey, and snug.  Given the locale, I want something more classic and flattering, outdoorsy. 

Rules: no one-shoulder, no high-low, not too short, has to wear well and not need much ironing/not be a sweaty fabric, no black or baby pink (the bridesmaids are wearing pink).  For my figure (hourglass) I try to avoid empire waists and strapless styles.  Must be available in size 14 and around $100.

Please help?

How fancy/dressy? When I hear beach I think less fancy. More fancy than the polka-dot dress you had made?

From Nordstrom

 

_6998210.jpgAdrianna Papell $138 (it says empire waist, but it doesn't look like one to me so I think it would work?)  I really like the color and the lace detail.

 

_7001011.jpgT Tahari "Sloan" dress on sale for $84.90 (and they have it in a size 12 & 14)

_6446557.jpgAlex & Ava $78.90 on sale (it's jersey, but the color is pretty and it could be easily dressed up with some accessories and shoes.)
