Emergency Dress For Wedding Required!

11 replies

ODearMe · 05/02/2013 21:24

Hi all

I have a wedding to attend in a couple of weeks and I have no fashion sense and can't find anything I like! Please may I enlist your help?

I am 5 ft 5; aged 31; auburn-ish coloured hair cut into a long bob; not keen on the arms; slim build and small boobs.

Would love to see what you come up with. Thanks very much!

I think this would be nice:

It has sleeves too!

Love that Kate. Do you think I could pull it off for a wedding though? I am going for the whole day

I think this would look amazing with auburn hair.

I have one of their dresses in this fabric and it is so comfortable and well cut - I'm dying for another occasion to wear it to

Alexon dress is beautiful- so sad I'm allergic to wool!

What's your budget, OP?

Will you wear heels?

I agree first dress is more evening, second dress is gorgeous.

katecreate · 06/02/2013 15:10

Yeah, I reckon so ODear. I think it'd look fab!

This is nice if you can wear a medium (a 12 I guess) and a total bargain. Blazer, opaque tights and heels and job done.

If it's too eveningy for you, this might work!

It's also ridiculously cheap

I think we need more details really;

church or registry office?

town or country?

presume in the UK?

will you need something which will keep you warm?

where is the reception? hotel, restaurant etc

have you got anything else you want it to go with ie shoes, boots, bag etc

or are you looking for the whole works is dress, shoes, jacket and bag?

do you have a budget?

are you going to be shopping online?

do you wear heels - more details needed

thanks
