We need more info pl

Age, body shape, budget, colouring, your usual style ( eg jeans and trainer gal or smart and sophisticated, on trend or conservative etc)

age 39

body shape - ever so slightly pear shaped,but generally same top and bottom size. legs are good with heels, am 5ft 4 roughly.

size - 12 to 14

budget - not sure. nothing outrageous. would stretch to bodesque prices if i could wear the dress again....

actually i think i may have found something on the laura ashley website....

need to ensure time off work wont be a problem but if not i think i may have found something....will report back for opinions!

Oh go on, give us a link

You sound like an hour glass AND good legs so should be easy to make you look fab

Do you prefer dresses or separates? And do you want traditional wedding outfits from coast /debenahms or something different eg all saints

Forgot to say you don't NEED a hat unless its very posh. Especially if you will feel silly in one

link above!

its not too expensive so that quite attractive! love the all saints site...am ploughing through that at the min...

probably wont bother with a hat.

what do you think to the dress ive linked then...a bit too mumsy? or ok?

I really like it and I thibnk it's a good choice for something that works for day and evening. Go for really funky shoes in purple or pink though - maybe strappy high heeled wedges or something, to lighten the black. What about a jacket/shawl?

FellatioNelson · 18/02/2011 21:38

this is nice too

FellatioNelson · 18/02/2011 21:41

lovely but too pricey?

KristinaM · 18/02/2011 22:54

Well it s ok. But a bit dark and not very exciting for a posh wedding and 80£. I prefer fellations suggestions, they are lovely colours, although I realise they are quite a bit more £££. And you might not be Able to wear them again so often, if that's an issue.

ThatVikRinA22 · 20/02/2011 14:50

a bit dark and not very exciting....sounds like me! ha ha!

i had seen those other ones on the coast site....and i love them both. mmmm decisions decisions!
