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 · 11/03/2013 15:55

Do people really go along with these kind of bizarre requests? I guess they must do but I was Shock 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.

what about this?

ShowOfHands · 11/03/2013 16:19

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

Contacts? Shock

I have a purple hat like the one linked BOF.

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

Indith · 11/03/2013 16:24

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.

ShowOfHands · 11/03/2013 16:27

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

Too witchy?

ShowOfHands · 11/03/2013 16:33

I have a deckchair which would go with that!

A dress that goes with purple then.

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

ShowOfHands · 11/03/2013 16:36

Alterable?

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

BanjoPlayingTiger · 11/03/2013 16:42

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

ShowOfHands · 11/03/2013 16:44

Bad Banjo. No biscuit.

What IS Pimms btw?

Ooooo yes yes to that ww2 one!

pleasestoptalking · 11/03/2013 16:45

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 · 11/03/2013 16:47

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

OP posts:
ShowOfHands · 11/03/2013 16:49

at am dram. No!

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 · 11/03/2013 16:54

Sounds vile lovely.

I have never worn heels. Seriously.

OP posts:
Glaikit · 11/03/2013 16:56

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 · 11/03/2013 16:57

You don't do ballet pumps though do you?

givemeaclue · 11/03/2013 17:00

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

freddiemisagreatshag · 11/03/2013 17:02

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
