Looking for something to wear to a wedding…

[Idislike]

Ok, really I’d like to wear a dress..
But finding this difficult though because…
I’m 5’ 4”,

(I will be almost 57 by then)

I am a 38DD and weigh 12st.
so a 16/18 top half,
and a 12/14 bottom half!!

I’m dislike tight, close fitting/figure hugging clothes.

I take a 12/14 in jeans/trousers,so bigger on top half to my bottom half.

and would like a Navy/Navy print if possible I guess

any ideas

anyone?

The Style and Beauty board may give you better results - you can report your own thread and ask MN to move it for you.

My first thought was to suggest palazzo pants and a separate top/jacket. That way you're not trying to grapple with a dress with proportions that won't fit properly. MIL wore something similar to our wedding and she was 54 at the time, with a similar sizing issue. She bought her outfit at John Lewis.

Would this work?

I agree about possibly palazzo pants, silk blouse?

I’m short and dumpy, I think I’d look like a sack of potatoes.
but thanks.
it might have to be a too and skirt again I guess

Have a look on Joanie

My mum is similar sizing and found wrap dresses the best option www.silkfred.com/collection/big-boob-friendly

Would you feel comfortable in any of these styles @Idislike ?

I have worn a few from this brand myself and always felt good and received lots of compliments! I’m a similar size to yourself 😊
