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

I'm loving the Lindy Bop dresses. Am mooching through those at the moment.And the vintage floral ASOS number....

OP posts:
LadyMountbatten · 13/04/2013 20:21

i think youd be cold in the floral one in June

GwendolineMaryLacey · 13/04/2013 20:22

OP posts:
GwendolineMaryLacey · 13/04/2013 20:23

Have a look at Igigi and Kiyonna. Both American plus size sites.

Some lovely things (and a few shockers) to be found.

BellaVita · 13/04/2013 20:25

LMB - I like that tunic! Yy to floppy trousers too.

LadyMountbatten · 13/04/2013 20:27

i have a glam mate who is about a 22 i think. always looks lovely. Its colour i think and accessories

anyway she would wear the tunic, floppy trews and amazing shoes bag etc

Had her hair done, lovely make up.

LadyMountbatten · 13/04/2013 20:27

plus she looks like she BELONGs in the clothes - not trying to be weddingy

GwendolineMaryLacey · 13/04/2013 20:29

What colour trews? I'd be happier in trousers I must say.

OP posts:
GwendolineMaryLacey · 13/04/2013 20:30

Taking sprogs up to bed (still crying) I will return...

You are all being fab, thank you!

OP posts:
LadyMountbatten · 13/04/2013 20:32

either white or black with that. nice and long onto your shoes

then pick shoes and bags that match each other but contrast nicely and THOSE you can wear again too. so you can spend on those

BellaVita · 13/04/2013 20:32

I would say black.
