Going to a wedding at the weekend. Am overweight but can manage to squeeze into this dress at a 16 am 5ft 4 - am wearing a tight-fitting, very thin black long-sleeved t-shirt under as I need a Spanx-like effect on my arms and I DON"T do sleeveless. Still looks good-ish. Far too short for me to wear as a dress with tights (watching the video with that willowy model has made me have second thoughts about wearing it but f**k it, I have no other options now after maxing out my credit card!!) Soooo, am thinking I might wear with leggings but don't know whether to go for full-length or 3/4/calf length. Do I go for matt-black or shiny or velvet?
And shoes, I don't do heels though can stumble along on a bit of a wedge. Sparkly ballet-flat maybe?
I don't dress up very often and have been going round like a bag-lady since piling on 3 stones in 6 months. I find weddings a huge ordeal and expense but I liked this dress because I think it more of a tunic and I think I will get wear out of it even if I shrink down a few sizes as it's nice and drapey.
Any pointers gratefully received!
