Very posh wedding coming up in 2 months. I'm 5'2, size 20-22, huge bosoms and footballers' legs. I also have upper arms like a side of pork.

So, it can't be sleeveless and it can't be shorter than ankle length. Oh, and I'm poor :o

Right. Enough of this short fat minger.

i don't do style and beauty but nor do I do disparaging yourself

So no more short fat minger.

Said with love from a short fat minger

I can do sleeveless with a shrug or summat. Definitely legs covered. You know those old ladies you see sometimes with huge legs because of mega water retention. Mine are worse :o

I think I could do trousers. Budget is whatever it needs to be I guess but keep it sensible!

LadyMountbatten · 13/04/2013 19:51

GwendolineMaryLacey · 13/04/2013 19:51

The first one is spot on my colour. I love purple matches my complexion :o

Lovely so far but I'm thinking a bit short. I cannot stress the horridness of my legs

LadyMountbatten · 13/04/2013 19:53

NOW and post it

coreny · 13/04/2013 19:53

LadyMountbatten · 13/04/2013 19:54

LOVE but too much for a wedding

GwendolineMaryLacey · 13/04/2013 19:56

I can't take a photo, I don't know how to work the panorama setting on my camera :o

Seriously, there is no way in hell my legs can go on show. They haven't seen daylight since 1978.

Simply Be have got some lovely wedding dresses that would be great. However, I'm not the bride thank Christ and I don't think the real bride would care to be upstaged by me Wink
