Please help me!
I'm going to an old uni friend's wedding in late August. It will be the first time I've seen a lot of the guests since before having DS, now almost two. In that time I've had two pregnancies, DS and another baby boy who we lost 21 weeks into my pregnancy - this was only 6 weeks ago so still very raw. I've also gone from a size 12-14 to a size 18, through a combination of SPD, lack of exercise and comfort eating.
I'm dreading the wedding, I hate looking at myself in the mirror at the moment and am living in leggings and dresses that probably don't do much for me, but at least they are flattering. The thought of getting glammed up for a wedding is terrifying!
My weight is mostly on my tummy, it's very saggy and this has been made worse by having had a CS I think. Is there any magic holding-in underwear that anyone can suggest?
Also: a dress. I live in a rural area so not many shops locally, so may have to shop online. I'm 34, 5 foot 7 and a size 18. My legs are pretty good, up to the knee anyway, and my arms are not too awful. Big boobs as you'd expect at a size 18, but not massive. Massive tummy. Dark brown hair, pale skin with a bit of rosacea, blue eyes.
Pre-DS, I used to like 1950s style dresses, blues and greens and citrus colours. Patterns and florals. DH says navy looks good on me, apparently. Black makes me look washed out. Does anyone have any ideas? Please?
