    I've always worn a dress or a summery trouser suit. If you don't already have anything like this a smart skirt/trousers and pretty blouse would be fine. It's really down to how comfortable you feel i guess.

    With me it depends on which side of the family it is! :o I usually dress smart, like I would to a wedding. If you feel comfortable in a dress then go for it, usually women wear dresses, skirts or smart trousers. Not seen anyone in jeans yet. :)

    Don't forget to also consider skirt length etc, no need to be frumpy but you will be in church. Monsoon top/skirt sounds lovely to me
