Need a great dress to upstage a bride

[MamaChocolat]

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?

OK. I have no principles. What's your budget?

Do you want full length? Or shorter?

Tethers that's not true

You'd never wear spandex.

Drawing attention to yourself isn't going to be very useful for being supportive to whoever you want to be supportive to.

I do like the medieval fancy dress.

Don't go to the wedding. Sorted.

Only in the privacy of my own home, Honey.

waves at MmeLindt & MamaChocolat altho, my name sadly comes from the wombles and not chocolate! :)

Take the teenage kids with you as your date, one on each arm, that should help...

Calfs an ankles OK but thighs hefty so not too short. Just fab and glam.

The teenage kids are going to be on my arm - they have aked me to go to help them otherwise would be somewhere ales.

My name is tribute to big drag queen. Should take him on my arm that would do it

Budget, Mama- focus!

A lovely white suit with a floppy seventies style hat, red lippy, charlies's Angels hair...

or you could just wear a normal dress but make sure the back of it is tucked into your orange and turquoise polka dot big pants at all times, and bend over at every opportunity - should guarantee you more eyeball than the bride

you want the teenage kids to outstage her as well - what are they wearing?

Like this

Funeral Dress and black veil.

Go in co-ordinating outfits to the kids...all bright vile green from head to toe.

oh yes - about £70 if I can wear it again or a bit more if it's really great. Love Wimples 70's Bianca Jag thing. And could hang the big pants out of the trousers.

KIds - not sure yet. the DD did ask if black with veil was too much.

OMG trillian I saw that programme, thats a perfect choice. Then get changed for the evening disco into cut off jean hotpants with your bum cheeks hanging out and a boob tube.

ahh in that case...

I'll contribute by posting you the delish silk dress - very forgiving shape all sort of drapey.

A friend of mine had to do something similar and hired 'that hat' from Four Weddings and a Funeral, did the trick as that was all people talked about.

Actually, coordinating outfits with the kids, is good. But subtly coordinating.

duh! I meant the dresss I wore for my 1st wedding...

Whatever you wear, make it white. Preferably a dress, with cleavage. Then stand next to the bride as often as possible every time you see the photographer.

I'm not sure I can do 'upstage the bride at a v posh do' for £70 unless you're up for vintage?

wimple I love that.
