Which dress for sister's wedding?

27 replies

pinkpaperpiggy · 20/02/2013 23:07

My sister is getting married in a month. I had hoped to have lost more weight than I have but although I am going in the right direction I am a size 18. It's a small wedding and I'll be the largest there so I want to look good and feel comfortable.

I saw a link to the Igigi site on another thread and I'm impressed with the dresses and the reviews are good.

My main problem is my stomach. I have good boobs and prefer sleeves. 3/4 are the most flattering on me.

Here are the ones I like but may be too casual. Just looking for a few opinions.

Depending on your colouring I prefer the first and last options, but the first is my fave.

HerRoyalNotness · 21/02/2013 02:02

I like the first and the third ones. The other two seem too fussy and may make you uncomfortable

cogitosum · 21/02/2013 02:05

First one is my favourite followed by the last one.

novelsituation · 21/02/2013 07:52

I really like the third one - lovely bodice and great colour on skirt. The first one would be my second choice. Not keen on either of the others.

byanymeans · 21/02/2013 08:06

I love the first and third but it depends on your colouring to be honest. Not to casual IMO.

Hassled · 21/02/2013 08:09

They're all nice dresses - like the first the most and the second the least.

emalushka · 21/02/2013 08:22

The first one.

Colliecollie · 21/02/2013 08:29

They are all nice dresses! Go with the one that suits your colouring the best.

cathyandclaire · 21/02/2013 08:30

love the first one too

Ambi · 21/02/2013 08:33

I like the last one.

AgathaF · 21/02/2013 08:48

Definitely the first one.

Hope you have a great day.

aufaniae · 21/02/2013 10:05

Definitely the first, it's lovely :)

ELR · 21/02/2013 11:13

First or last

Thanks everyone.

The first one seems to be the most popular.
I like it a lot and think it looks lovely in the video clip.

Still not 100% decided though.

Colouring wise I have dark brown hair and eyes and lightly tanned looking skin.

Lovely dresses!
First or third do it for me.
Second a bit dull, last one perhaps too shiny skirt?

HappyAsASandboy · 21/02/2013 23:36

First, second or last. Not number three :)

Enjoy the wedding :) and congratulations on your weightloss :)

thenightsky · 21/02/2013 23:37

First or third.

I'm sure I've seen lovely shoes that would be the colour of the first one, if only I could remember where!

Thanks everyone.

thenightsky I'd be very grateful if you could remember about the shoes. I was thinking I'd probably just go with black.

Thanks for the shoe recommendations. I like the Monsoon and M&S ones.

Still haven't made up my mind about the dresses.

I have fallen in love with these now

Dress 1 is gorgeous.

Thanks mini. Wasn't sure my link worked. It is supposed to be the Luna Lace dress.

I think these 2 blow the Igigi ones out of the water.

DewDr0p · 27/02/2013 13:40

I like the first one from Igigi the best (like the 3rd one too)

alarkaspree · 27/02/2013 13:42

I like both the kiyonna dresses better than any of those from your OP. The second one is my favourite.

AKissIsNotAContract · 27/02/2013 13:44

I like the first from Igigi best too.
