Please help me find a dress for a wedding

[jgenie]

3:00 destination wedding average temps will be in the high 60’s. I’m petite - 5 ft carrying 15 extra pounds around my midsection. Hoping to lose some of it but will be in Italy for a week shortly before the wedding so I’m pretty sure I’ll put on whatever I manage to lose in the next few weeks. TIA

Do you know what length you want?

This one looks cute : https://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/product/Embroidered-Lace-Sheath-Dress/570226897?color=1886

Or this:

I've found that the lace texture can be a flattering way to camouflage my middle a little.

Yeah, I was going to say fit and flare. I don't have any specific links, but I'm about 5'3" and like that shape (versus a sheath or whatever). Have you looked at Nordstrom- maybe Eliza J brand?

I actually like a nice sheath, even if your midsection isn’t perfect. Good old Spanx. [emoji6] I think they always highlight all the good curves! My most recent is a sheath from the brand pp just mentioned- Eliza J. It’s a super comfy jersey dress.
Budget?

I’m generally a sale shopper but I’m willing to splurge. It’s a big event and I want to feel confident so I’m willing to pay up for this one.

I wore this one over the holidays and it was great. I’ll have to check for something in a spring pattern.

I like that first one - I’ll stop by to try it on.

I've been looking for an occasion to wear this dress. I should just buy it at this price. :) https://www.macys.com/shop/product/rachel-rachel-roy-twisted-neck-a-line-dress-created-for-macys?ID=5168865&CategoryID=5449#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D126%26ruleId%3D7 8%26kws%3Drachel%20rachel%20roy%20dresses%26ackws% 3Drach%26searchType%3Dac%26searchPass%3DexactMulti Match%26slotId%3D13

Here's a Nordstrom version of it https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tahari-midi-fit-flare-dress-petite/4856612?campaign=0205DRESSESHDR&jid=J009172-3720&cid=3uq4w&cm_sp=merch-_-wap_3720_J009172-_-cathead_wmndresses_P01_shop&top=72&flexi=60202062_60202063%7C60202062_60202068%7C6020 2062_60202071

Maybe not for this wedding but sure would be fun to have in the closet! https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vince-camuto-cutout-shoulder-crepe-sheath-dress/4569570?campaign=0205DRESSESHDR&jid=J009172-3720&cid=3uq4w&cm_sp=merch-_-wap_3720_J009172-_-cathead_wmndresses_P01_shop&top=72&flexi=60202062_60202063%7C60202062_60202068%7C6020 2062_60202071&size=%272%3Aregular4~~4%27%7C%272%3Apetite4~~103%2 7&page=3

If it's a resort type place, like Mexico, I'd go for something fun, less formal than the original one linked, I liked the anthropology one but not the Hawaiian print, but the lower v neck, spaghetti strap style, short above the knee one was fun and casual but dressy.
