Could you please help me?
I need some shopping help. I need an outift for my brother's law school graduation. We will be in New Orleans and it will be hot as hell. I'm leaning towards capris/cute top or a maxi dress. I went from a size 10 to a size 24 back to a size 12 so I'm not really sure what would look cute. I'm an hour glass figure. Thanks!
Re: Could you please help me?
For a college graduation, I would go more sundress/maxi dress. College graduations I have been to have been more nice slacks/polos/sun dresses than anything. Unless he is graduating from a CC.. that might be a little more casual.
Are you wanting to shop online or search online but be able to go into the store to try stuff on?
I don't know your skin color or insecurities so I'm shopping a little blindly, but from Kohls (if you have one close to you)

this would be a wide enough horizontal stripe that it won't make you look wider, promise. )

is print is large enough to be suuuuper flattering on anyone, and a good casual-to-date night dress) THe scoop neck and wider straps would be flattering if arms are an insecurity (I know that because that's my touchy body spot haha)
I know you said Maxi , but here are a couple other options if you're worried about getting overheated
