New Look’s £34 midi dress is perfect for summer wedding guests

Multiple colours, lightweight fabric, midi length, and ruffle details – we think we’ve found the perfect wedding guest dress for summer, and it only costs £34 from New Look

The ideal summer wedding guest outfit can pose quite a challenge; everything seems like it's either too racy, too short, too clingy, or too casual, making it impossible to know what to wear.

Enter New Look's perfect summer wedding guest dress, that manages to combine colour, comfort, and chicness into one single dress that you can wear all summer long, for just about an event.

The Bright Blue Sleeveless Frill Tiered Midi Dress, £33.99 here, is cut to a flattering midi length, with a loose, floaty a-line skirt that's both comfortable and sophisticated making it perfect for weddings in the sun.

The shirred bust also means it has some stretch and give, so you can spend all day in it without feeling restricted or uncomfortable – and it gives you a pretty good range of movement for when it comes to the dancing portion of the day.

Subtle details including the tiered midi skirt and frills on the sleeves also add something a little bit extra to the dress that helps take it from a purely casual outfit to something special that's ideal for occasions like weddings, but keeping it versatile enough that you could wear it to day time events such as picnics and brunches.

If blue isn't quite your colour, it also comes in a vibrant green shade that screams summer, or a chic black option that's as timeless as it is versatile. The dresses come in sizes 6-22, however the blue version currently only has sizes 20 and 22 in stock. There are also limited sizes in the other colours, so you’ll need to be quick of you want to nab yourself one of the dresses.

New Look also offers a similar version with its Shirred Frill Midi Dress, £36.99 here, which is a very similar shape and silhouette, but features a lower cut neckline and straps rather than sleeves. It also comes in blue, white, black, and a stunning bold red colour.
