Wedding Guest Dress Options -- The Anthro Edit

[Anonymous]

It seems like folks are always asking for dress recommendations when they have an upcoming wedding. So ... here are some recommendations. These are all available at Anthropologie. If folks enjoy this I can do other stores like Nordstrom, Tuckernuck, etc.

The Can’t-Go-Wrong-With-An-LBD option (*note, in some parts of the country a black dress is wrong):

Looks like an ornamental cabbage. That’s not bad. Bit on the nose for a garden party

[Anonymous]

Too many options OP. I don’t have the time or attention span to click on all these links. Narrow it down more.

[Anonymous]

Can we have a section "I am a short MOB/MOG/aunt and I need to wear a bra"?

[Anonymous]

I don't understand. I am capable of browsing dress on Anthropologie (and other stores). I do not understand what purpose this serves.

OP, start a blog or something.

You must be new here.

What do I wear to this upcoming wedding? is posted several times a month.

Uh, are YOU new here?

That's when people want specific dress recommendations. Like someone will say "I'm 48, size 8, need something that covers my shoulders, any ideas?" And people will post things that might work for that specific person. That can be helpful because someone might have a similar body type or have recently been shopping for something similar and have a suggestion that works.

Posting 50+ links to the same website is useless. And no photos! Just why.

What if I have big boobs?

+1 mothers and aunts of people old enough to be getting married need to wear bras.

But good stuff OP!

[Anonymous]

I’m actually impressed. Great job with the categories. Do Tuckernuck next, but for general summer stuff (for when you want to look put together but it’s 100% humidity, etc)

[Anonymous]

Great work, OP.

Ignore the haters.

[Anonymous]

I appreciate that you posted one Norma Kamali dress.
