I am a maid of honour. Soon. And I get to choose my own outfit Shock And all I can think is oh fuck it might have been better to tell me what I am wearing Wink

Anyway, I have seen a few things but keep being told I need something smarter/more glam/more eveningy blah blah (dh/dm/dsis!)

No colour restrictions, Total outfit (bag/shoes/dress/hat or whatever) £300, but flexible Wink providing it is classic and would make me feel great and I can wear for years as an investment piece.

Restriction:
16/14
Large boobies
Fat Tummy Sad
At least the top of my arms need to be covered
Below the knee
Don't do high necklines as have a short neck

Positives:
Nice bum (so dh says but he might be biased!)
Big Boobs
Nice enough legs providing below the knee
Happy to wear heels Grin

So make me feel thin, glamorous and lovely I dare ya.

Vintage-ish-ness dissolves mumsy. 'tis science.

PoohBearsHole · 10/05/2012 21:36

MRs L - FWM, tried a couple of theirs on but want something a tiny bit more funky Wink
the damsel one I tried on but the colour looks fecking awful on me so I think I need something "brighter"
quite like that last one Wink

but to clarify - am flexible with the budget for kickass dress as can use current shoes etc if I need to although we all know I am going to go and spend a fecking fortune on kickass nude peeptoe heels don't we!

Am happy to wear a sort of jacket iyswim

And (sorry) I need to be able to get it off the peg where possible or quickly anyway Blush yup thought I would lose thoat extra 2 stone and haven't!

whoops, IVORY-16&refpage=dresses/occasion-dresses sorry, here

MadameChinLegs · 10/05/2012 21:36

think so, the one where she wanted to wear trousers?

MadameChinLegs · 10/05/2012 21:38

oh, for godness sake, the link keeps failing. Sorry.

MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 21:42

You can't put her in that. It was good, but really? Maybe I'm remembering wrong, will root...

MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 21:43

this one?

PoohBearsHole · 10/05/2012 21:45

Am loving those courtesan dresses Grin am going to show my mum and see what happens

But still happy to have lots more on the page

Am going to have a look at my gold dress and see if I can upload a picture of the colour!

Hmmm....I may have misremembered it, I thought it was shorter (which would make it much nicer)

MerylStrop · 10/05/2012 21:53

understated but could be great with your curves

? could be pretty but might be mumsy on (unsure about belt)

PoohBearsHole · 10/05/2012 21:54

MrsL I actually have a very similar dress in Black by FWM that I have worn on many an occasion Wink love it but am not a size 8 so I may pout.

I bet I end up wearing the gold dress I have and coming back asking for a ridiculously expensive pair of shoes and a handbag to go with Grin

MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 22:00

Are you tall? love these shoes

these too - no height requirement

in fact zara have a lot off good shoes ATM

and some hooves Shock

Maybe have a look at vivien of holloway

bet you meant this red, longsleeved dress has to be. Is indeed potentially perfect.

oohermrs · 10/05/2012 22:01

How about this - can you tell tv is dull this evening. I'm loving virtual shoppin!

MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 22:05

these would be so, so good with gold these would too. I think the zara studded ones are nearing them in the style stakes though.

MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 22:14

love this bag. Would that work with the gold and the studded zara shoes I won't shut up about?

PoohBearsHole · 10/05/2012 22:17

I love those purple shoes. Love them..............

That bag ain't bad either!

OP posts:
MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 22:20

these would be grand with gold too.

You can't have the purple shoes and the bag. Is double the budget FFS!

MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 22:37

those dune shoes are crap. sorry.

red? a bit pinup-y but maybe a bit fussy

red again. luscious.

and again, patent

<a class="break-all" href="//hwww.kurtgeiger.com/women/shoes/courts/skyscraper-26.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">VW. loads of colours

this is all well and good, but I was after purple!

Night

MrsLettuce · 10/05/2012 22:38

sorry, VW ones

night...

MrsLettuce · 12/05/2012 10:47

I need to see that gold dress! Also want to know if the red VW is the one ChinLegs meant...

PoohBearsHole · 12/05/2012 21:21

I will try and take a picture and btw am loving the shoesGrin

PoohBearsHole · 14/05/2012 11:37

I am so going to go and try the not in the slightest slutty red shoes. I adore them and want to see if I can walk in them! I have the advantage of a very tall dh so might get away with them even if I do tower over the bride! Who cares I mean its not about her anyway is it Wink
