My sister is getting married in November. The wedding will be on the beach at sunset at the Del on Coronado (San Diego), and I’m feeling uninspired looking at dress options. It’s a small affair (under 15 guests).
I’m 5’6” with a large chest (36 DD/E) and wear a 10/12. I’d like to stay under $400-500. What does DCUM have for me? My fallback is a Nordstorm personal shopper appointment. |

Anthro has a whole page of dresses for beach weddings!
https://www.anthropologie.com/beach-wedding-guest-dresses Do you like something like this? https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/farm-rio-long-sleeve-v-neck-jacquard-maxi-dress?category=beach-wedding-guest-dresses&color=060&type=STANDARD&quantity=1 |
I don’t love the pattern on that one. |
Look at the rest of the dresses on that page and see if you do like any of them. Or tell us what you do and don't like about some of them so we can try to narrow down what you might be looking for. |

In general, I tend to dress fairly conservatively. Think black and navy sheath dresses from MM LaFleur for work with diamond stud earrings.
I like the look of this (but not the white): https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/hutch-stretch-satin-one-shoulder-maxi-dress This one is nice too: https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/mac-duggal-strapless-organza-maxi-dress Think I’d prefer longer length too. |
| It will be COLD and windy. Plan accordingly. |

I agree this is nice. It's beachy, but also "fall". And because it is colder at night in SD, grab a cashmere wrap or shawl. Garnet Hill, JMcLaughlin and J Crew always have them on sale or offer coupons periodically. Or Neimans has some nice lightweight cashmere scarf/shawls. You will need a jacket or a wrap. |

Loveshack Fancy? FarmRio? Ramy Brooks might be good.. Get a pretty cocktail or maxi dress that you love OP and can wear again! Is BcBg gone? That was cocktail dress central.

| OP your blue and white dress is way better than anything posted so far. But I think it’s going to be super cold won’t it? Maybe plan around a jacket? |
