Right, anyone up for a challenge? Wedding outfit for short, fat minger!

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

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 do like that tunic/trousers combo. :)

ive known this mate 11 years, saw her in a dress once

she always looks fab

I know this isn't helpful, as I don't have links.., but how about a different top? A plain silk top, w great costume jewellery, and the black trousers and bright shoes and bag? That Evans tunic is polyester and looks like it might cling?

I sound a similar shape and recently did a hepburn dress from Lady V of London with a fine knit shrug for a wedding

silk can cling too

the hepburn will make her tits look HUGE

like a shelf

I love the look of those Hepburn dresses but alas as a top heavy and curvy small person they would not work on me. Such a shame.

Not that it's all about me, just looking out for good suggestions. Not that I have any weddings to go to. Possibly a christening in a few months.

I think the tunic/wide trousers outfit is good in theory but at 5'2 it might swamp you.

I am same height and 18/20. I've tried that look and never been able to pull it off.

I'm wearing this to a wedding soon www.kiyonna.com/plus-size-clothing/Lace_Dresses/12120901 .

It's very comfortable and flattering.

thats a point

cool website

Roundtower That dress is gorgeous!

That's a gorgeous dress but I seriously cannot do knee length.

Too dark/dull? really selling it here

It's rather maternity

Jacques Vert stuff is nicely cut and horrifically expensive new but usually found on ebay - something like this: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JACQUES-VERT-PURPLE-FORMAL-SHORT-SLEEVED-DRESS-SIZE-22-/161005626745?pt=UK_Mother_of_Bride_Fashion&hash=item257caee579
Maybe with a shawl or shrug to cover arms until you've had a glass or two of cava and don't care?

this is nice from that Lady V site

Would you do black?

LOVE the asos bell sleeve maxi that LM linked to upthread...

I have worn something very similar to previous weddings sirtoffee. In a sprightly shade of purple. Alas, I sold the dress.

Can't work out how long that jacques vert dress is

No no no to a tunic and trousers! Will make you look loads bigger!. You need a fitted dress and a belt to create a waist. The lindy bop one is lovely but not sure of quality? Lady Vintage had lovely wiggle dresses-I bought 2 in the sale. Also try Collectif-they have cotton dresses with good stretch or bengaline ones. Viv of Holloway for wide belts.

Your legs cannot possibly be worse than mine-I have horrendous varicose veins and veinous exczema. I still wear dresses and skirts. In winter its 100 denier tights and in summer its nude tights or fishnets hold ups with sally Hansen for legs underneath to hide veins.

plum, though hopefully not (up the) duff

Sorry to repeat any links:

red drapey

green, would look good with heels and clutch

purple

green again

In case black is acceptable

Don't presume everyone has a waist. I don't. Belts look shit

I think the long ones look too evening gown
