I totally understand that for lots of women a big white dress is exactly what they've always dreamed of. But it's just not my style. I don't want to wear white, cream or ivory.
I do want something special but perhaps something I might wear again. I love dressing up but rarely get the chance these days. The wedding is likely (hopefully) to be a big old party with plenty of dancing - so I need something that I can get my groove on, in.
I've had a few ideas but haven't really hit on anything definite yet. I really hope you lovely lot can help me come up with some options.
I'm size 18 and 5ft3 - so any ankle/ floor length just swamps me - on the knee or just below is good. Sleeves would be nice. Showing some cleavage would be nicer. I'm mid ish 30s.
I'm thinking a 50s sort of silhouette/ waist/ full skirt - I know that this suits me but open to trying something new. I don't shy away from bright colours or bold prints - in fact I'd welcome it!
Budget wise, I don't want to spend more than about £200.
I really like this dress from dig for victory but is it too dark/ heavy for spring/ summer (it'll rain now that i've said that!) digforvictory
Lk Bennet - love this dress but it's out of stock and is probably a little too expensive LKBennett
Coast - love this skirt but again it's out of stock and what would i wear it with? coast
Should I be waiting until next year's spring/ summer lines come out?
Anyone got any great ideas?
