Good luck with the jacket hunt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406204 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 03:00:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2406204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was just so lovely being invited to that wedding of the friends’ daughter. We had known her since she was 2! That’s because her older brother is our son’s best friend since age 4 and now they are 29 they are flatmates. So we saw his younger sister a lot in her childhood and are good friends with the parents still. In fact we are going to see Wuthering Heights with them next week. I do hope you get to go to your son’s friend’s wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406200 Thu, 12 Feb 2026 02:29:19 +0000 JAileen 2406200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your suggestions. And for confidence that the dress will work. &nbsp;Fingers crossed!</p> <p><div>Jenni, I was trying to remember the last wedding we attended, my niece’s. &nbsp;It was a little over twenty years ago! &nbsp;My niece has since had three kids. &nbsp;The oldest just got married, but eloped, so no ceremony, reception, etc. &nbsp;Right now we know three engaged couples - this one, our son and his fiancee, and our son’s best friend. &nbsp;I hope we’re invited to that wedding, too - I’ve known him since he was about seven years old.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406181 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 23:24:52 +0000 Jaime 2406181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great and I hope one of the somewhat more dressy options above will work with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406167 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 22:07:04 +0000 Suz 2406167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you are at least potentially sorted, and just chiming in to say I think the dress will be great on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406157 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 19:14:48 +0000 Jenni NZ 2406157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Steve Madden and the Mango ones, and Carol’s ideas! This is so fun looking at wedding guest outfits, one of my favourite things.<br /> We haven’t been invited to any weddings since last November, we’re always the older relatives or friends now, LOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406154 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:52:31 +0000 Carol 2406154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That jacket you picked would be great for a beachy, or garden, daytime party. Otherwise I agree with everyone.</p> <p>A pashmina, a real one, in any color, is a great thing to have and would work indoors and out.</p> <p>The waterfall jacket that Sharan picked is gorgeous in both colors--I think that's a strong look.&nbsp;</p> <p>If it ends up being more of an urban wedding, something like a velvet blazer or cape in burgundy, black, blue, etc. would also work.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406151 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:24:05 +0000 Angie 2406151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>JAileen</b>, as always, you make me laugh :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Really hope that the dress and one of the jackets works out. Fingers crossed!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406148 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 18:01:34 +0000 JAileen 2406148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thank you for your suggestions. &nbsp;I’ve just ordered a couple of the jackets. &nbsp;Portland’s weather is much more like yours than ours. &nbsp;Ours is probably the opposite, in fact. &nbsp;I wanted to get a jump on an outfit, and not leave it to the last second. &nbsp;My husband will be going the last second route, no doubt. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406140 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:29:34 +0000 Angie 2406140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! My neck of the woods, <b>JAileen</b> I'll be waving!&nbsp;</p> <p>Add me to the chorus! Very pretty dress. The pattern will look smashing with your silver hair!&nbsp;</p> <p>YES you will definitely need a jacket - and I HOPE the wedding is inside. If it's outside, I hope there is a plan B. It can be very rainy in May, and it's anyone's guess what the temperature will be. Super mild and warm, or chilly.&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are slightly dressier jacket options, and what are we putting on your feet!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406139 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 17:06:19 +0000 JAileen 2406139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your insight. &nbsp;You have confirmed what I was thinking, that the jacket doesn’t really go with the dress. &nbsp;I looked up Portland’s climate and the wedding is exactly when the weather transitions from cool and rainy to warm and dry. &nbsp;So I think I do want some kind of jacket or wrap or whatever, because I run cold, and especially if it’s damp I’ll freeze. &nbsp;All of this may be a moot point, though, since I ordered the dress ahead of knowing any particulars - is the ceremony inside or out, how dressy will it be, will it be during the day or evening, what’s the weather, etc., etc., etc. &nbsp;I might not need the dress at all. &nbsp;If not, I might need it for next year when our son is planning to get married! &nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406102 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 09:46:48 +0000 Star (Lise) 2406102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have not read the other comments yet. I think the dress is perfect and the jacket is too casual. The breast flaps, buttons and collar make it casual to my eye, so maybe a similar jacket sans flaps and collar? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406088 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 04:39:47 +0000 kellygirl 2406088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress and I have a similar Tommy Bahama linen trucker that I wear on repeat during the spring/summer. It's a fab jacket but definitely too casual for that gorgeous dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406080 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 03:59:18 +0000 Jenni NZ 2406080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh sorry! Should have checked the forum before I wrote your name!<br /> Yep… it’s Peri!<br /> So many weddings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406078 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 03:49:15 +0000 Aquamarine 2406078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty dress. Do you need a topper? For the venue or for arriving at the site? Because I think the dress, since it has sleeves, should be warm enough for an indoor location.</p> <p>Jenni, the wedding I will be attending is indoors, in a hotel. You may be confusing me with someone else, who *was* attending a beach wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406076 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 03:34:01 +0000 Jenni NZ 2406076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the dress! Beautiful!<br /> It depends where the wedding is to be held as to the topper. I do personally find the white jacket too casual combined with that dress, but say for a beach wedding like Aquamarine is attending it would possibly be suitable.<br /> You “know” me, always err towards the dressier end.<br /> I like the pashmina idea and also Sharan’s 2 jackets she offers above, especially the second one because I like contrast. Wraps can be a bit fussy, for my daughter’s Vietnam wedding in 2019 I pinned the wrap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406074 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 03:15:15 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2406074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>The dress is gorgeous. Nice find! I agree with others about the jacket, though it might work with one of your Eileen Fisher dresses for a more casual event. Maybe there is another event the weekend of the wedding that you'll want something less dressy than for the wedding itself.&nbsp;</div><div>I like the idea of a wrap with the dress for the wedding.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Or here are a couple of jacket ideas:</div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/open-shrug-cardigan/8764470?origin=coordinating-8764470-0-3-PDP_1-recbot-vertex_ymal_v3&amp;recs_placement=PDP_1&amp;recs_strategy=vertex_ymal_v3&amp;recs_source=recbot&amp;recs_page_type=product&amp;recs_seed=8781456&amp;color=BLACK">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/op.....P_1-recbot</a></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/mixed-media-open-front-jacket/8781456?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;breadcrumb=Home%2FAll%20Results&amp;color=051">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/mi.....sonalizeds</a><br /></div><div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406072 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 02:56:06 +0000 Cookie 2406072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is really pretty! I like the thought of it with the linen jacket but for wedding purposes, I too would go with some sort of shawl situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406070 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 01:47:56 +0000 missvee 2406070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Komarov dress and it would be easy to dress up for the wedding or wear casually afterwards. I also like the linen jacket. The softness of the fabric and the fringed edges give it an easy elegance to my eye. If you have doubts about the jean jacket style maybe there's something else out there in linen, like a soft blazer, that might be dressier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406069 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 01:23:18 +0000 Sal 2406069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a pretty dress that will suit you JAileen.&nbsp; I agree with Lisa that the jacket is a bit casual to match in with the dress.&nbsp; I think a wrap would look best with this style of dress.&nbsp; Or a coat if you knew you would be mostly indoors and just needing the coat for some parts of the day.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406068 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 00:52:16 +0000 LJP 2406068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not that I’m a wedding expert , but the jacket strikes me as too casual unless it’s held outdoors . I’d choose a wrap of some sort - a fine gauge knit / pashmina thing or an oversize silk scarf . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pnw-wedding-guest-in-may#post-2406067 Wed, 11 Feb 2026 00:46:22 +0000 JAileen 2406067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We will be attending a wedding in May in Portland. &nbsp;Even without knowing any particulars, I went ahead and ordered a dress. &nbsp;I figured if the wedding is on the casual side, I already have a few possibilities, mostly Eileen Fisher dresses.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nordstrom.com/s/lace-overlay-cocktail-dress/8681089?utm_source=N_transactional&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=V5T400ShipCfm&amp;utm_channel=email_tran_ret_p&amp;utm_term=786393&amp;utm_content=20260210_proddescr1">https://www.nordstrom.com/s/la.....#038;utm_m</a></p> <p>I’m thinking I might need a jacket.
