Please look at myopic and tell me what you think

Title says it all really, we are going to a wedding soon and I've tried and failed to find a long dress that fits. My friend let me borrow this dress. Honest opinions please. Pic is on my profile.

Are you going for the day, or just the evening? I would shy away from black for a day event...

The whole day. I wanted to stick to black so I don't stand out. I was going to have a gold bag to match my belt. My legs are huge, I don't know if I can actually wear it yet. What do you honk of my legs? Please be honet.

Honk= think
Honet= honest

Bloody phone.

I think it fits well...just not sure it's very wedding-y.

I think the dress is lovely and the belt really cinched your waist in and gives you a lovely shape. I'd steer away from having your hands in the pockets though, it makes it look quite frumpy and shapeless.

I would wear a nice bright shrug/cropped cardigan/jacket with it. Maybe in cerise or bright blue, and have a matching bag.

Your legs look fab :)

Shit shit shit. Maybe I should just stay at home and send Dh and the DC.

Thank you MrsMeow, ok no hands in pockets :)

I think the belt is a bit cheap looking. Legs look ok to me!

Would a gold shrug/jacket be ok do you think?

Well it was only £4

Is there a bit over your norks? Like a cami ?

I might be a lone voice here but I SO would wear black to a wedding, and have done (black trousers)

As long as its not the wedding of an ex boyfriend and you're not in full Victorian mourning garb including veil, I don't see the problem

I feel for you. We have a wedding coming up and I'm dreading finding something to wear already.

I have no idea how to check someone's profile but I just wanted to respond to your last comment.
No matter what you look like, please do not stay at home. You have been invited for a reason and that reason has nothing to do with how you look. Please go. It is not fair on the bride, the groom, your dh, your kids or most importantly yourself if you don't go. And honestly speaking, even if you turn up wearing a bin liner, no one will even remember a week later! Please, seek professional help for your low self esteem. Xxx

Gold is good! Maybe a sparkly hair clip as well, or even a fascinator if you're a fascinator wearing kind of person...

No but normally my boobs would fill the dress but I'd been out all day and I had whipped my bra off before taking pics.... It looks much better with my boobs in the right place!

Thank you formally, I'm just being silly.

Pooh yes sparkly hair clip is a good idea.

I wouldn't wear black especially with black tights aswell; but the style is nice on you and your legs are fine.

What about this in blue?

I think it looks great, and would be fine for a wedding if you can inject a splash of colour somewhere - how about some bright coloured shoes or pashmina?

That's nice but only goes upto a 16 and I'm a lot bigger than that!

I have a lovely pair of red or dusky pink heals. The black owns aren't comfortable anyway.

I also think it looks great and absolutely fine for a wedding although I'd probably ditch the black tights and go for nude. Lots of people wear black to weddings these days but often mixed with another primary colour or white so the black doesn't dominate. Red shoes with red pashmina would be my choice!
