Wedding outfit help please

13 replies

I have 2, possibly 3 weddings between now and August so happy to splurge on one outfit.

I'd love, love a dress but with 36ff boobs (size 18/20) with a size 14/16 waist I can struggle but if you can find something suitable I'd love to look at links. Because of norkage, I can't do strapless as I struggle to get undies to fit properly and contain everything so sleeves of some sort would be good.

It can't be high on the neck either. V neck is good for the boobs.

Failing a dress it will have to be trousers and a top. Where can I buy something a bit special rather than looking at a plain bog standard pair of cream trousers. Needing some inspiration and hope you can help.

Thanks.

What's your budget?

No real set budget. Because of norks if I can get something to fit and makes me feel great then the cc will take a bashing. That said it won't stretch to more than about £400 for a complete outfit but it would have to be really special.

Off to look at those links now. Thanks

Florence makes note to earn more money and pay for wardrobe of Issa and DVF dresses.

Thanks tethers.

I like the first one and the black one and I love the Laura Ashley one. What accessories would you wear with that orangey colour though? Would it be black?

I think black shoes (and gloves) would look best, but snakeskin/mink/yellow/pink would also look good.

Pepperberry (a branching out of Bravissimo, their clothes are cut in different norkage sizes for each "standard" size - so e.g. you could be a 14 Really Curvy or 14 Super Curvy.)

floral

blue with a bow (I think the scarf is also available)

There are others, worth a look. They don't have a huge selection but I find them very flattering.

I am going to order the first bravissimo one and the LA one in orange to try.

Thank you

I can actually see myself in bravissmo one with a pair of nude heels.
