Wedding season is approaching, I have two to attend so far, thankfully no guest crossover so I can wear the same outfit twice.

I am a size 20
Hourglass
Good decollete
Horrible rugby player legs and cankles so don't like short skirts and no bare legs
I need wide fitting shoes and can't walk in heels which limits me somewhat shoeswise
Dark red hair, blue eyes, very fair.
Budget is around £50, more if I don't need to buy shoes.

I'm just about to start looking myself but would appreciate any pointers.

Ayethankyew :)

ooh ooh ooh I have red slingbacks, just found them in the back of my wardrobe. Hurrah!

V similar to th elink above but have a wee bow at the front. Perfect.

Eric those tigermilly shoes are to die for but I doubt they'd fit. My feet are almost as wide as tey are long

Am on the hunt for a red bag now

This is FUN

I was going to say lady v! Love their stuff! They are really good quality and do some brill sales too.

MrsLettuce I haven't 'seen' you around here in ages so its lovely to see you again :D

Sorry for the interruption OP. Lindy Bop have some great dresses and Facebook10 gives 10% off at checkout.

VOH are lovely frocks, good quality but check measurements as they are vintage sizing which is a lot smaller than modern highstreet sizes.

Heloo! Long time no see indeed, we must have failed to notice some nameschanges Wink

Eric - I don't have any VOH dresses, no. Too pricey for me, unfortunately. A damned good petticoat can make the cheapest of dresses look great, thankfully!
