I normally don't shop at Orsay at all, but I'm going to have a look, I know where one is.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933710 Thu, 16 May 2013 12:12:15 +0000 anya 933710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Have you checked Orsay? It's a german brand I personally love and own a lots of dresses for them. The pricepoint is quite low, and i found them to be a good quality.&nbsp;<br />They rotate stock quite often ( much like Zara) so i would keep my eyes peeled. Look both online and in stores ( witch carry a larger selection and stuff that might not be&nbsp;available&nbsp;online)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933668 Thu, 16 May 2013 10:44:33 +0000 Astrid 933668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the links, Irene! I'm definitely going to go and have a look at Mango. Those shift style dresses are probably cut too straight and some of the others look very short, but I agree that they have nice and affordable stuff. Worth a try. I might go have a look on my way home.<br /><br />Thanks Parsley. I agree, the first one is fantastic! I thought of something similar, but fit and flare dresses that are long enough are hard to find at the moment. I'll try though. It would be fab to wear a dress like this with one of my denim jackets afterwards. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933248 Wed, 15 May 2013 20:23:46 +0000 Parsley 933248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think a summery floral or lace&nbsp;dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt would be so pretty on you, Astrid. You could wear a wrap, little cardigan, or jacket over it if it gets cool out, but they're pretty and modest&nbsp;by themselves.&nbsp;If the fabric is not too dressy it would be good for&nbsp;everyday wear&nbsp;afterward.&nbsp;<br /><br />Here are a few:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/erdem-full-skirted-tank-dress/3405331?"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/erdem-full-skirted-tank-dress/3405331" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/er.....ss/3405331</a>?</a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.garnethill.com/essential-summer-sundress/womens-fashion/dresses/view-all-dresses/291948?defattrib=&amp;defattribvalue=&amp;listIndex=0">http://www.garnethill.com/esse.....s/291948?d</a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/donna-ricco-print-cotton-fit-flare-dress/3459016?"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/donna-ricco-print-cotton-fit-flare-dress/3459016" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/do.....ss/3459016</a>?</a><br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/calvin-klein-sleeveless-lace-fit-flare-dress/3514115?origin=category&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=TURQUOISE&amp;resultback=1682"><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/calvin-klein-sleeveless-lace-fit-flare-dress/3514115" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/ca.....ss/3514115</a>?</a><br /><br />I love the first one, but of course it's outrageously expensive.

I love their dresses and normally they fit better than other shops.

I am more of a dress girl. I would say finding a dress would be easier than finding well fitting pants and the right top, but I might be wrong. I can't get the first link to work, can you fix it? I'm not sure the second option would be dressy enough.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933171 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:12:33 +0000 texstyle 933171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Or white pants - I forgot white and white pants are def. on trend right now. <br /><br />This is a cute concept&nbsp;too, esp. if it were with white pants:<br /><a href="http://www.lordandtaylor.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/lord-and-taylor/womens-apparel/blouses--tunics/sheer-printed-peasant-blouse-0200-c1s3ws0097ea--1" rel="nofollow">http://www.lordandtaylor.com/w.....louses--tu</a><br /><br />Not sure how dressy it would need to be.<br /><br />Just some ideas.... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933169 Wed, 15 May 2013 19:10:37 +0000 texstyle 933169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was thinking slim fit lightweight pants. Not sure if clamdiggers would be slim enough, but maybe? In a good fabric but they could be black if the top weren't black, right?<br /><br />Of course if you are a dress girl, you may prefer the dress but I'm more of a pants girl.<br /><br />I know this is not available but just for an example tunic:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....sp?PRODUCT</a>&lt;&gt;prd_id=845524446491837&amp;site_refer=AFF001&amp;mid=13816&amp;siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-ceu5UwIiaTgXSs4MbbU_OQ&amp;LScreativeid=1&amp;LSlinkid=10&amp;LSoid=280518<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933158 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:58:14 +0000 Astrid 933158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, I like that! I hadn't thought beyond dress or skirt. I'd have to think about the length though, I think full length pants might end up being too warm depending on the weather. So maybe clamdiggers with a tunic?<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933154 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:55:25 +0000 texstyle 933154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Astrid, I wonder what you might think about something different like a dressy tunic over slim pants? That way both items could get more wear beyond the wedding. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933150 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:51:52 +0000 Astrid 933150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Day and indoors, but I know the venue and there will be the possibility to sit outside too. I'm not sure how dressy this is going to be. &nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933144 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:38:35 +0000 Liz A. 933144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?&nbsp;Day or night?&nbsp;I would definitely go with a dress, because that is my preference.&nbsp; If it's outdoors during the day, you can get away with something more casual that you might like to wear for date nights or what have you. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/searching-for-a-summer-dress-for-wedding#post-933121 Wed, 15 May 2013 18:11:16 +0000 Astrid 933121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My cousin marries in the middle of June and I don't have anything to wear. I sorted out the dressy outfit for my sister's confirmation without much shopping (I only bought the blazer new), but I don't want to repeat the outfit. I don't really have a need for a dressy occasion dress at the moment, but I'd love to wear a dress I could continue to wear in my everyday life later on!&nbsp; I know that many of your go to brands aren't available in Germany, but do you have any idea where to look and what to look for? I've tried to pay a bit of attention to what's been in our stores recently, but haven't seen anything I liked. Alternatively I could wear the 'stained glass window' skirt again with a different top. Any ideas?<br /><br />
