Have just received the 'schedule and dress code' for a wedding I'm attending.

[ShowOfHands]

I'm screwed.

I'm seriously screwed.

Also, if you can sew, could you make yourself a floaty summery frock? Choose some lovely fabric and rip off one of these that people have linked to?

[Ashoething]

Do people really go along with these kind of bizarre requests? I guess they must do but I was when my friend told me that her friend demanded she get contacts as none of the other bridesmaids wore glasses-and she went along with it!!

Wear what you like and feel comfortable in-your lovely friends sound a bit too try hard to me.

[Indith]

what about this?

[ShowOfHands]

I really like that indith. But is it a bit wintery? August wedding, I might bake.

Contacts?

I have a purple hat like the one linked BOF.

[ShowOfHands]

I know, I know, it looks like a wedding dress but oh my God THIS.

[Indith]

Haha I was just looking at that same one!

Yes probably a bit wintery. What colour scarves/wraps do you have? You probably need to go for short sleeves/sleeveless and take for when in case it is cold.

[Indith]

though this would go with pretty much any colour .

[ShowOfHands]

Wraps? None. I have a purple scarf which would do. Is velvet. Um, couple of red ones. I have mostly big, knitted chunky ones.

[ShowOfHands]

Too witchy?

[ShowOfHands]

I have a deckchair which would go with that!

[Indith]

A dress that goes with purple then.

That one reminds me of a dress we have that belonged to my great grandmother.

[ShowOfHands]

Alterable?

[Indith]

I don't have a clue about sewing. Lovely though.

[BanjoPlayingTiger]

show you know you can get high heeled Docs don't you? whistles innocently

[ShowOfHands]

Bad Banjo. No biscuit.

What IS Pimms btw?

[Glaikit]

Ooooo yes yes to that ww2 one!

[pleasestoptalking]

I would either beg, steal or borrow (ok stealing may be going a bit far) or ignore.
They are your friends so they'll be pleased that you're there.

This all sounds a bit weird. I have never received a dress code for a wedding. My guess is that they are either minor royalty or into am dram in a big way... am I close???

[ShowOfHands]

Can I wear something described as steampunk and/or victoriana to a fancy schmancy wedding?

[ShowOfHands]

at am dram. No!

[Glaikit]

Pimms is a fruit cup usually made with gin, served at Wimbledon to the gentry and by me a bbqs! (Although I prefer the whiskey based on) it has sliced fruit cucumber and mint in it.

Not suggest these actual shoes, but could you cope with the tiny heel? Mary janes

[ShowOfHands]

Sounds vile lovely.

I have never worn heels. Seriously.

[Glaikit]

Ok so we are looking for completely flat dressy fancy shoes! That's fine, I can do that, but I need to feed ds, he is gnawing the door frame through to the kitchen!

I'll be back!

[Glaikit]

You don't do ballet pumps though do you?

[givemeaclue]

Please please tell us the full schedule and required attire, my mide is boggling at this need full details

[freddiemisagreatshag]

What size are you? What size are your feet? If I am anyway near your size I shall have a dig about and see what stuff I have I can post. And I'm sure others would do the same
