Oh, and FYI – prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication. Wedding season is finally here! And while yes, that does involve some amazing wedding dresses (we’ve already rounded up some affordable options), those usually only apply to a max of two members. The rest of us have to go down that less well-defined path: finding a suitable, flattering wedding guest dress . I don’t know about you, but I find the task quite hard. And while shopping writer Honey’s amazing recommendations are a great place to start, I thought I’d shout out the workhorse that’s seen me through two years, and three weddings, a birthday, and an engagement party: Nobody’s Child’s forest green Riley dress . Call it fate, but it’s 60% off now too . Made from a surprisingly breathable cord fabric , the midaxi dress is made from 100% organic cotton. That means it won’t feel clammy and uncomfortable on hour four of dancing. Its shirred waist means it fits perfectly, and it hits at a really flattering point; often, I find that fit-and-flare types cinch in a little too low. That’s partly down to its clever shirred waist and button closure , which means it adapts well to your unique proportions. Speaking of which, the covered buttons are a great touch that makes the whole garment look much more expensive than it really is, too. (Again, that was true before its current 60% price cut ). Also, a moment for people whose two-drinks-down appetite makes pale satins inadvisable: this doesn’t cling or uncomfortably cinch, and it’s both dark enough to make stains hard to spot on the night and completely machine-washable after . Perhaps it’s no wonder this dress has gotten a five-star average rating from 50 reviews . Customers love its comfortable, stylish, and flattering cut, with its deceptively pricey-looking material and perfect-for-every-event length. Multiple reviewers said they’d bought the same dress in different colours. It doesn’t bunch or crease when you sit down, and while the site says to order a size or so down, I, along with some other customers , think it’s pretty true to size. (Though for what it’s worth, this dress has seen me through a couple of dress sizes, and fit brilliantly on all occasions. Thank the fashion gods for shirring!) Lastly, though I love loads of sleeveless dresses in theory, personally, I’m never comfortable with my arms out. This dress amply covered them with its deliciously retro balloon sleeves without leaving me roasting on a hot spring day. In case you’re still on the fence, it bears repeating: it’s 60% off now!
