Help!! Wedding on Saturday and no dress!!!

22 replies

MummyDuckAndDuckling · 18/12/2013 20:16

Yes people, please help! I have 2 dresses that I was planning to pick between but just tried on there and 1 is far to tight across the chest and 2 is gaping flashing my bra at the side Shock

So I need a new dress to wear to a wedding on Saturday. I have no spare money for this so I'm hoping to get to asda/tesco and have a look. I'm assuming they must have all their party wear dresses in so I should be able to find something suitable... But please help!!

I'm a size 18, 5ft7 very curvy with 34J boobs wails
Blonde mid length hair that I'm planning to curl. I can't afford a spray tan now that I'm having to buy a new dress so needs to be something I can wear with blank tights, I already have black shoes.

In thinking along these lines, but is it ok to wear a blank dress to a wedding? I can jazz up with some colorful accessories

I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing black.

I like the dress with the sleeves best.

What about this www.clothingattesco.com/womenswear/f+f-limited-edition-rose-print-prom-dress/invt/jg311272

The prom dress is lovely.

MummyDuckAndDuckling · 18/12/2013 20:28

I don't know, it's more something my mum would wear! (I'm a youngish 27!)

I like this, looks short though and shows a lot of upper half skin..

I think black is fine for a winter wedding.

catwithflowers · 18/12/2013 20:35

Sorry mummy, I don't like that last one at all. Might look ok if you are 18 years old and even then not for a wedding. I like Sandy's link and the first dress you linked to is quite nice Smile

catwithflowers · 18/12/2013 20:36

Sorry I meant the ice blossom dress! The last one is quite nice!!!!!

MummyDuckAndDuckling · 18/12/2013 20:38

I know, I think the same. I like the colour of that ice blossom one.

Yeah I like that last one. Looks comfy and stylish. Might need to pop to tesco tomorrow and have a look. I'm utterly screwed if I can't find something there!

Yes, all this online browsing is a bit redundant if they don't have the dresses in your local store. Fingers crossed for you!

SandyChick · 18/12/2013 20:47

I prefer the Julia one over the ice blossom but both are lovely.

tribpot · 18/12/2013 20:57

I like all of these although particularly the daisy lace overlay one from your original post. It looks like the one that could most easily be worn to other events, parties and whatnot.

MummyDuckAndDuckling · 18/12/2013 20:58

I will pop to my local tesco tomorrow morning. If they don't have it, I can order before 3 and have it delivered there to collect fri afternoon. Ahh!!

Check out Asos. I think they do next day delivery and will have lots under £30 with younger styles....

Went to tesco this morning and they had loads of dresses reduced to £10! I couldn't see any if the ones I saw online but got a cute navy blue one with flowers all over. Let me see if I can find it..

Ahh that's lovely.

Glad you got sorted. What are you wearing with it?

burnishedsilver · 19/12/2013 17:30

Glad you're organised now.
I was going to suggest having a quick little alteration done on one of the dresses you had originally planned to wear.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 19/12/2013 19:49

That's lovely. Enjoy the wedding!

MummyDuckAndDuckling · 19/12/2013 20:16

Thank you all!

It's not overly weddingy but it was best I can do at short notice. Note for future, try outfit on more than a week in advance!!
