Trying to choose mine, looking for inspiration!

Would be particularly interested to see dresses worn by ladies with my body type (tall, reasonably slim, biggish boobs and hips with a flatter bum).

But mainly just wanted to be nosy!

Forgot to say I am 5 foot 9, have big boobs and wide hips. Was very slim for my wedding. One DC later I am not as slim Grin

This - my friend who is a dressmaker whizz copied it in some old lace I bought in France.It took some cleaning but she worked a miracle. The sash had a bow at the back. No train or veil. I am straight up and down- no waist and smallish boobs. 5ft 7
I loved it. It hangs in a dress bag at the back of a wardrobe in one of the attics. Not sure what to do with it really but can't bear to get rid of it.

Here's mine - got it from a BHF shop with a bridal section and had a seamstress add the sleeves from the train lace. Love it still.

I'm 5' 7" and average build - I wanted a tea length or ballerina length dress that wasn't strapless, but back then EVERYTHING was strapless so in the end I had this one made for me.

This was mine and I still love it. It was my second wedding so I wanted something different.

This was mine. It looks a lot stiffer in this picture as I imagine the model had a hoop on, but I didn’t have one. It had quite a long train too, which I hadn’t planned on having.

@Iamclearlyamug aww thank you :)
It wasn't what I expected to choose but I felt amazing in it. Loved it.

Though it never made it to getting cleaned since most places wouldn't take it...

This was mine I loved it but was slightly worried other people may think it was abit boring and plain.

Mine. Maggie Sottero with a cathedral veil and Maggie Sottero overlay top. Felt like a princess all day 😊

This was mine. It's Essense of Australia. They still make it. I wore it with straps on the shoulders rather than off and a massive cathedral length veil. I'm 5 ft 4 but with boobs and hips. It accentuates the curves in the right places.

I want to re do my wedding day all over again !
Mine was just a sample sale dress, but I loved it so much.
Good luck on finding your perfect dress.

I get married next year, this is me in the sample size at the shop, so should look better when it’s the right size and altered. I am 5ft 7 32E with wide hips, my bum isn’t flat though.

@Izzabellasasperella I think you win most unusual! Where did you find yours? Did the arm warmers come with the dress? I do love a fur stole! If my autumn wedding had gone ahead as planned I wouldve worn one I think.

Can't post a pic of mine as ex-h chucked it in the tip during divorce proceedings Angry

Just wanted to say about the train thing - mine had a loop sewn inside so that I could pick it up & loop it round my wrist to avoid it trailing around during the reception but my hands were still free

FenellaMaxwell · 23/07/2020 21:06

I have a very similar figure to you, although I’m not tall. Ok that’s a lie. I’m fat now but when I got married I was slim but with big boobs and hips and a flat bum. Neither of these are my dress, but it’s very similar. It was a vintage Edwardian dress and I LOVED it. Mine looked almost exactly like these but had a v neck in front.

I'm thinking something like this, I love the shape and the sleeves. Would it be too hot for a spring wedding?!

We married abroad and didn't want to take a ton of luggage with us so my wedding dress was a gold cocktail number that my sister designed and made for me (unfortunately can't post a pic as it's outing for both of us). We thought we weren't wedding people and too old for fuss.....but fuck it, I wish I had a big white dress 👸🤦‍♀️

Might have to renew our vows post covid 😁

cakebythepound1234 · 23/07/2020 21:08

This is my dress although I had it in a dusty blush pink which was gorgeous. Had a 4 year old at the time of our wedding, so the jig was well and truly up in terms of wearing a white dress 😉

This was me in February at my wedding. Although a winter wedding it was a mild day, I'm not at all body confident but I adored this dress and felt fab. Wish I could do it all again 😢
