Dress for black tie wedding

5 replies

I would be so grateful for any ideas for a dress for a black tie wedding, it's fairly soon so not sure what the weather will be like. I think most people are going for long dresses but I can't see anything I like. I'm a 14, 5ft 5 and large chested, hourglass shape.

Don't want anything strapless and because its a church wedding early afternoon something that won't look mad in the middle of the day!

Any help gratefully received, really beginning to panic now!

I always think long is the way to go for black tie.

Any preference on colour?

I asked exactly the same question back in October, and eventually bought this dress, although I had it in a purpley colour. Looked great on, got loads of comments, and you don't have to dry clean it. I worried about not going long, but the guests wore a range of dress lengths.

The pied a terre one is lovely, I can't see the monsoon one on my phone but will have a look later, I've no preference for colour though most of my wardrobe is black.
