To wear a stunning figure hugging dress to a close friends wedding

My friend and I were both 16 stone this time 2 years ago. We both went on a diet and two years ,later I am now 10 stone and a size 10. She is still 16 stone and a size 18.

It's her wedding next Saturday and I showed my intended outfit to my Mum who said that while it looked beautiful I should wear something plainer and less figure hugging as almost everyone there hasn't seen me for over a year, doesn't know about my weight loss and I will attract too much attention away from the bride with my huge weight loss.

Do you think my Mum is right?

My friend will look beautiful anyway, so I don't see why I should have to deliberately look plain for her wedding!

My mum says it's 'rubbing it in' because she desperately wanted to be slim for her wedding. But that is not my fault.

It is your friends day.

Which was YEARS AGO.

Zombie thread!

Who knows, the couple could already be divorced and OP could be 16 stone again and rue the day she let some MNers talk her out of enjoying a nice day out in a sexy dress.

Over two years later and I still don't know what the dress looked like 😭😭

(OP posted a link on page 3, link is long gone and just brings you to ASOS home page. Apparently that wasn't even 'the' dress anyway 😕)

No way do it.

I wear some really nice lipsy VIP dresses and who cares you look better
Ill get my hair done and what not were talking wag style but classy. lol

They are getting married and should have other things to think about.

@RandomAmanda, I was wondering how all the other posters were discussing the ASOS dress when the link just took me to the homepage. Eventually I noticed the date.

Now I want to know what the actual dress looked like. I need closure.
