QuoththeRaven · 27/04/2011 13:05

have a wedding beginning of june to go to. I am absolutely useless at shopping, can you help me find a dress?

I'm size 16/18 lots of curves, big boobs/big hips.
Price range - under £50 is possible
Age - 24, so would like something that suits my age (usually dress in jeans and a tshirt) everyone at the wedding will be quite erm... fashionable i suppose

been looking everywhere, by eyes are crossing now. please please help. oh and strappy dress/halterneck or strapless if possible...ugh hate shopping.

I saw that, but they didn't have your size...

Lots here but a bit over budget.

What are you worried about?

QuoththeRaven · 27/04/2011 14:55

im just not that confident with myself in public really. so when something like this comes out, i stress and stress and curl up in a little ball to eat too much chocolate.

ah didnt notice the size. yep those are gorgeous too :o shame about the price really

Sad

Don't dress for your least confident self, but for your most confident... are you near London? Vivien of Holloway are having a big sale at their shop- here. Might be worth a visit to try on?

You like them, I think that shape works very well for curvy figures- I actually think you'll look dynamite in one. Go and try, see what you think.

shame, im in Scotland so unlikely to get to london. they are all beautiful. Im very tempted to get one from the amazon links though. :)
