With the wedding season just around the corner, more and more people will be stressing out about what to wear. But after browsing a number of clothing websites including ASOS, River Island, Marks & Spencer and Matalan, Reviews and Affiliates Writer Emily Sleight believes she has found the 'perfect' dress to wear at her best friend's wedding.
The "gorgeous elegant" find, she writes, was a flattering midi dress that she has found in New Look. She said: "Now, call me naive, but I didn't actually know that New Look had such an extensive range of glamorous special occasion dresses. After browsing online, I decided on a gorgeous elegant dress in a colour that I wouldn't usually go for.
"The Pale Yellow Lace Pleated Midi Dress is priced at £50 and comes in pale yellow, pale pink, lilac and navy. It features a flattering midi length and a chic lace bodice making it a really pretty option for a wedding.

"I absolutely love the fitted silhouette that skims my body and hides my lumps and bumps, which is perfect for someone like me who enjoys a cheeky wedding buffet. The lace detail is subtle, yet effective, and adds a classy touch to an already stunning dress."
The dress features a v-neckline, short sleeves, lace bodice and a pleated skirt. It is midi length and has a fit-and-flare design. But it was the colour that really made the dress, Emily says.
"Considering it's something I don't usually go for, I thought the pale yellow was the perfect shade for a summer wedding. It wasn't too bold or vibrant, and you could easily make it more striking with a pop of colour in accessory choices. I'm planning on wearing the dress with some electric blue heels and a little clutch bag for some contrast.
"I've never purchased anything with a pleated skirt before because I was worried it wouldn't be very flattering, or look a bit 'boring' but I was really impressed with how beautiful it was. It adds classy detail to the flowy dress and isn't too thick or heavy.
"In terms of the material, it's very breathable, but not too thin and flimsy. This dress is perfect for a summer wedding, and for £50, it's very verastile too.
"I absolutely adore this dress, and was amazed by the quality. I got mine in a size 12 so it was slightly looser around the lace bodice area, but I could've easily sized down.
"I'm already planning on wearing this gorgeous dress to a family christening in a few weeks time, proving just how versatile it is! Equally, you could dress this down on a summer evening with trainers and a denim jacket for dinner and drinks."
