Cast your votes please! 2 possible wedding outifts

[BunnyLebowski]

I'm going to a wedding on Saturday. I am beyond skint so have to make do with something I already own or can borrow.

Wedding is a late afternoon service and reception at a country house hotel.

Option 1.

This Pearl Lowe @ Peacocks dress with a red cardie and red patent dolly shoes. Hair down and wavy with a flower in. Red lippy and pin-up style liquid liner eyes.

Or

Option 2.

This Trinny & Susannah vintage style dress with same shoes as above. Hair wavy and pinned up to show off the neckline.

I'm a size 14 with long dark hair. My usual style is (wannabe) retro/vintage/pin-up.

Help me decide? Or are they both woeful (in which case I'll be going wearing just the flower in my hair )

I think either would look fab and suspect you always look amazing Bunny

So thats helpful

OK - I'll go for number one.

Much prefer one.

i dont like either , sorry.

Number one for me !

If only that were true tracey . Thank you .

I'm leaning towards Number.1 as well. Have just tried them both on and it looks lovely. The skirt is really quite full so I'm going to see if I can borrow a white 50's style petticoat to go underneath for that full on pin-up vibe.

Dress no.2 is much less 'me'. I borrowed it from a friend. It is lovely on her but slightly too big on me and makes me feel a bit like Miss Jones from Rising Damp.

Decision made. Thanks ladies .

Number One definitely

Number Two definitely not.

hth

Yep, number one much nice IMHO.

Number two harder to pull off without looking frumpy (unless you are tall, slimmish (not big boobs) and generally gorgeous.) Of course that could very well be you!

Oh no I most certainly do not fit that description notyummy! At 5'4, curvy with big boobs and only occasionally gorgeous, definitely not!

Thanks again all .

One more piece of advice needed if anyone's awake.....pretty please??

With the red shoes and red cardie I don't want to look too themed so am planning wearing this hair flower and <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=3.bp.blogspot.com/_-3hR3LH9DEw/S3GfAmNx97I/AAAAAAAAAJE/MBG0Qfx50Ks/s400/Picture%2B1.png&imgrefurl=anothercardboardcutout.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html&usg=__kNthL2HRQPFO7dmGDXkiCiq_YHc=&h=319&w=344&sz=56&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=PIOX-iiBME-ytM:&tbnh=140&tbnw=151&prev=/images%3Fq%3Daccessorize%2Bbird%2Blove%2Bnecklace%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26biw%3D1680%26bih%3D905%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=262&ei=I--TTOHPMNq5jAfhyfWaBQ&oei=I--TTOHPMNq5jAfhyfWaBQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=46&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0&tx=90&ty=62" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">my favourite necklace

Sound ok or is there too much going on?

Alternative necklace is a silver name necklace a la Carrie Bradshaw.

Too much going on IMO- I wouldn't wear a necklace at all. The flower is enough; you will look more authentic 50s pin-up without one

I think number one with your favourite necklace. I love Peacocks and I wish mine would do the Pearl Lowe range. You will look great, I love red.

Sounds fab to me!

Received and understood tethers

I'm all excited now for tomorrow (even though I'm driving ).

DP's suit (to be worn with cons a la David Tennant) is pressed and ready

DD is wearing a rather girlie purple party dress (that my mum bought her) with some mad stripy tights and her purple patent docs .

kittya It's only available in very limited stores. Online is your best bet. The sizes are very true, possible even a wee bit generous.

I got my dress in their online sale for £15. Originally it was £35 .

they are great, arent they? I have a very small one at the top of my street and I often get a bargain there. Their boots are great this year.
