The bridesmaids' dresses will match/tone with the groom's tie. <br />It's a late spring/early summer afternoon church wedding with the reception (sit down meal in marquee) and ceilidh (in country house) out in the country. <br />I reckon I have all the fabrics, barring lining, underlining etc, that I need - I'm certainly not going to buy any more, so I'll have a play around. Nurture my creative side! And hopefully come to a decision.

I am afraid I cannot offer an opinion here, as there are so many factors to consider, including what everyone else is wearing, the wedding venue, what type of reception and what time of day and so on. I also think that other people tend to give opinions based on what they like, which may not be right for you. I like the idea of a floral jacket over the silk. Perhaps quietly sleep on the ideas for a day or two - the answer may come :)Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2330020043629144522.post-39618522387592573342016-01-15T18:50:11.190+00:002016-01-15T18:50:11.190+00:00Thank you, Mary.

I'll be making fairly plain sheaths. Blue probably like 9 but pegged skirt. Floral 5 shape but no contrast panel. (I suppose floral could make the jacket you mention but I was thinking solid cobalt dupion or possibly cobalt lace - I raised possibility of solid dress and patterned jacket but wasn't sure)<br />I think a lot of MOB stuff is -well not to my taste. I'm not sure my designed look will necessarily be bolder and younger though.(I'd like it to be) Maybe I need to think about a floral jacket after all!! Hmm. Pattern suggestions? My floral sateen goes well with both of the silks I have.

So, in my view, the two dresses that work the best are 4 and 5. Why is that? They both make you look slimmer and younger. Your figure is pretty good Anne and so long as you pick a strong colour/bold design you will pull this off. I would choose a strong colour say blue, red or shocking pink, and consider a jacket that has this colour in but with a large print. Sleeveless is great. It is also slimming because the overall silhouette is longer without the sleeves. The jacket is there if you are cold and June is almost always warm even in the North. A fabric with a bit of stretch would be good, and keep the hem slim. A bolder younger look please not a traditional MoB.

I thought I had your email address but can't find it - would you send me your email address to amcclure@talk21.com and I'll resend my reply about weather and send the questions for the course. I love your blog, incidentally and am sure I will find your tutorials very helpful when I come to start sewing lace, silk etc - I've that to look forward to! I very much appreciate the time you take to comment on my posts and to make your blog so helpful - I don't often comment as I haven't tried out your techniques as yet. All to come and your tutorials are a very valuable resource. Thank you.
