i've just received an invite for a great mate's evening wedding reception. dc2 is arriving by elcs on 22nd april. the reception is end of may (bank holiday i think).
any suggestions for something forgiving on the tummy area, that'll suit large bf boobs (even if i give it up by then doubt my milk will have gone if last time is anything to go by)

vital statistics are
5 foot 2
usually size 10 (12 on bottom)
fair skin
brown hair, crop style

i don't think i can manage an intensive shopping trip without some guidance! :)

What's your budget?

Karen Millen would be good if you're not bfing...

Ditto this

Fifties style

Maxi

Karen Millen again

Stripy cowl

budget is probably more oasis/ dp than karen millen or french connection.

thank you so much for the links but i don't like any of them. [hides]

karen millen is def not me as i find it too grown up and structured/ glam for me. i'm much more casual. i was thinking about a maxi as the draping might be forgiving but worried i'm too short!

I'm not very good at casual Grin

What about something like this?

tethersegg · 12/04/2011 16:37

Oooh, this would also be nice...

tethersegg · 12/04/2011 17:26

Or here

Ooooh! Some nice things there!
My iPod won't open the very links so will check out later but the frat plains (thanks tethers) dress looks promising- althought I have a weird hatred of obvious zips so that might rule it out.
Clure - the red oasis tea dress, blue John Lewis v neck and the spotty joules one all look nice. I'll had to try them on though as the length might be odd on my short bod.

Loving the help ladies! Grin
