I agree. A nice light colored suit would be my preference for a noon/afternoon summer wedding. I like shorter fitted jackets &pencil skirts.
I'll look around and see if there are any in the dress stores near me. My main concern was that I might be overdressed but the bride is wearing a gown with train, and the bridesmaids are wearing long gowns too.
Pear and apple shaped women, especially shorter women (like me) have a very hard time finding suits of any sort that work without looking boxy and shapeless (or terribly disproportioned).
welll... the dress finally arrived and I tried it on...
ugh.
The dress is too long. It falls way, way below my knees and the the jacket is too large. And that photo is off or that model must be super tall because the jacket comes just above my knees.
I love the color though and that's one of the main reasons I bought it.
I guess it's back to looking for another dress.
Have I mentioned I hate shopping especially for clothes for myself?
Maybe order the same dress in another size? I think the style and color are just right. Perhaps, too, seek out a seamstress to alter it......

Yep, speaking as a pear-shaped woman, there is little as unflattering as a combination of a pencil skirt and a short, fitted jacket.
So, I ended up buying this one too.. not in the plus size though but this is the only picture they had of it.
Is this one any better? It fits me better than the other one.
This is the color that I got too. It says cobalt, but it's purple. Is purple too dark for an afternoon wedding? I figured I'd try it since it was so cheap.
