what the hell am I going to wear tomorrow :-/

[anyoldname76]

Going to a wedding tomorrow, just the evening do. Ive tried on all my dresses and feel like I look hideous in everything

I'm quite short, ive put on a bit of weight recently and its mainly on my stomach, I look about 6 months pregnant

I'm going up town tomorrow in a last ditch attempt to find something.

A friend suggested jeans but that just feels wrong to a wedding.

Is it possible that the dresses you have would look well if your hair and make up were done?

I wouldn't wear jeans either but there's nothing wrong with dressey trousers of your not in a dress mood.

Most of the dresses ive got are quite clingy, even with spanx on my stomach is still really bloated. I tried a flowery floaty type dress on today which looked nice from the front, but not the side

Ive got a nice silk blouse, if I wore that with a pencil skirt would it look too officey? Or ive seen a leathery type mini skirt which may be better.

I'm at a loss tbh, my body shape has changed so much in the last few months I barely recognise myself anymore

Thanks for your reply

I have quite a tummy and find narrow leg trousers and a tunic, floaty or longer top looks best on me

Try not eating carbs tomorrow - especially bread. I find they really don't help and often go carb free before a night out, my tummy feels much flatter. Also see if you can find an empire line top and tailored trousers, and heels will help.

Silk blouse and pencil skirt sounds fine. I wouldn't wear a leather mini to a wedding, even just the evening do. Agree that narrow leg trousers can work v well - I always get asked if I've lost weight when I wear mine!

I don't agree about the pencil skirt. I think they are very unflattering if you don't have a flat stomach as they only accentuate large tummies. I think piscivorous has the best idea.

Depends on the skirt, Bun. I've deffo got a tummy, but pencil skirts suit me (size 10-12, hourglass).

Well ive bought some skinny type black trousers, and a cream chiffon sleeveless blouse, which doesn't cling to the offending area

Thanks for all the advice. Wish me luck as I'm going on my own, dh can't come as we can't get a babysitter tonight.

Sounds lovely. Have fun! :)
