I am overweight, and while I am going to rejoin SW soon, I will probably not lose as much as I would like by my wedding at some point this year.
I have a pic on my profile. I am wearing a maxi dress in the pic and I do feel comfortable and flab hiding in them.
I want a gold coloured dress, preferably old gold colour. My DDs will be wearing ivory.
Can you help?
I am skint btw
tethersend I think you've cracked it!! This is the one.
No, but I have soem thoughts for the youngest. She is 7 but in age 8-9.
DD1 is 17 and will probably choose her own and get my aproval and payment, which I am ok with as she has a fabulous sense of style.
For DD2, this or maybe this

Oh wow! That sounds beautiful 
I adore amber too.
Do you have the dresses for your DDs already? <nosy bint>
Definitely not pearls. I have decided on gold because I have an amber and gold necklace that I adore. I shall probably make and amber and gold (coloured) tiara to go with it.

Whatever dress you go for and wherever it comes from, I'd strongly recommend buying a size (or two) up and having it altered to fit to perfection. Makes a massive difference.
this would be fab with the first dress

I adore the combs she does too. here, here

Love that first one.
That second one is gorgeous too. I have quite a nipped in waist for a fatty, that may suit very well.

I had a dress made for my measurements in a maxi/Grecian style for a ball once. It cost 200 and was posted to me, I emailed my measurements to a diagram. It took about 3 weeks. Would you like me to dig out the details?
I still have the dress, but it's chocolate brown. You'd be welcome to it, and could have it adjusted - if you had a change of heart on the colour.

The draping on the phase eight make the model look like she's got a 6 month bump, I thought.
My mil wedding dress was from Debenhams. She looked fantastic in it, and she was 62 when she got married.
