MN has spoken, fascinators are awful, wide headbands are OK, your thoughts on this one please

[beachwalking]

I am soon to be going to my first wedding in many a year. Will be full of young slim fashionable types. I am none of these things, being almost 50, overweight and a bit of a slob.

MN has decreed fascinators at weddings are bad. A thick headband is acceptable.

Genuine thoughts on this one please, be as brutal as you like. Maybe with a kindly offered link to anything better. Thanks.

It's lovely.

But I am one of the ops that likes fascinators and head pieces.

It's a yea from me. Classy and a bit vintage, doesn't look dated.

I love this! Xx

Very nice

Modern looking and not fussy

Sorry OP but I wouldn’t be seen dead in that. What’s wrong with a hat or being bare headed?

Yes
But
Hurry as only one left

It’s gorgeous! And I’ve bought from her a couple of times, her products are great

Thank you!

But really - even on a bit of a fat frumpy old woman?

(I do have a nice dress to wear)

I don't know really, I sort of feel I should make an effort. Not really a hat person

Oh yes that's a good point

Yes it’s fab, very modern and unfussy, love it! What’s your dress like?

If you aren’t a hat person then don’t wear anything. It’s not obligatory. I love wearing hats but lots of people aren’t comfortable in them or they don’t suit them.

It's a floaty wrap dress, I'll see if I can find a link

It's lovely.

But why the feck are you 'listening' to MN?

It's just a website and a large one at that...full of people with different opinions.

Your opinion is the only one that matters, so if you want to wear a fascinator, just bloody wear one 🤷‍♂️

It's this one

I have a nightmare finding dresses I feel nice in, I hate my legs, arms, bum! Have a decent waist and boobs though.

I have a feeling MN hate Roman too so I am probably doomed anyway😂

@beachwalking it's perfect.

and I hate fascinators.

Just seeing what other people think, it's quite helpful sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s lovely and so is the dress. You’ll look a million dollars!

And as I said, I haven't been to a wedding in years and don't want to look like a complete fool

Same

Thank you! That's very kind

👏👏👏

The dress is stunning op! LOVE. Not sure re the headband, is it necessary? Can you get your hair blowdried the morning of and go without?

Weird .. that went in my basket this morning so I'm keen!
