Need a great dress to upstage a bride

I'm size 14/16, 5 foot 4. Longish dark hair. Like to hide arms and tummy. Not great legs but who cares about that? Early spring wedding - posh. What can I wear?

Why do you want to upstage the bride?

If it's Will 'n' Kate, anything Westwood maybe? my money says she will go very safe.

If it's a 'it shoulda been me' scenario, then tsk, get over yourself, maybe a burqa?

That's a bit harsh... Do you not like her or something?

MmeLindt · 25/01/2011 13:07

Posting to find out why. As everyone else is.

2blessed2bstressed · 25/01/2011 13:09

Now I'd normally be straight in there with suggestions - but upstaging a bride? That's not very nice!

DingDongMerrilyAsCheese · 25/01/2011 13:09

seriously?

If you don't like her why are you going?

suwoo · 25/01/2011 13:10

This is a stealth reveal. Or pisstake on Will & Kates wedding perhaps.....

jeee · 25/01/2011 13:10

Posh wedding? Mackereltaitai is right, isn't she?

madammecholet · 25/01/2011 13:11

why upstage the bride?

Note I am not the OP altho similar names :)

MadreInglese · 25/01/2011 13:11

something like this?

(you could always add a shrug/shawl to cover your arms a bit more)

MmeLindt · 25/01/2011 13:12

madammecholet
Now there are three of us on this thread with similar names. :o

SirBoobAlot · 25/01/2011 13:12

at MadreI.

Why upstage the bride? Bitter much?

coatgate · 25/01/2011 13:14

How odd. Is this a piss take?

iPaddle · 25/01/2011 13:14

You're not going to upstage the bride whatever you wear.

Hth.

MamaChocolat · 25/01/2011 13:14

Can't say much...but groom is asking his kids to move out because the new fiancee doesn't like them. This after knowing new woman for 4 weeks. Lots more going on too but new woman has made it very clear she hates me sticking up for the kids - all teens. Wants all contact with family to stop after the wedding but groom won't believe she has told me this - says she would never do that.

Very troubled about her and fuck it - I'm a nice person but this is a bad news wedding - got to go to support some other people there but woulndd't otherwise.

MamaChocolat · 25/01/2011 13:16
