Flattering dress for a larger lady

MissyMimi · 29/05/2014 22:54

Please help! I have a family wedding, I'm a size 18, good size cleavage but have a tummy. 5ft 8. It's been so long since I've had an opportunity to dress up! I'm 31 and most of the wedding guests will be in their early/mid 20s so don't want to look too frumpy.

I have bought this but it hasn't arrived yet

What do you think? Any other suggestions?

Thank you for your much needed help!

Klass have some nice maxis. I can't do a linky to them but this one is current (same price on Ebay)

Your dress is nice enough but I would find it a bit old for me and I am 30.

If you are looking for a maxi dress THIS is lovely on and can be easily dressed up.
I am a 16/18 with a tummy and large chest too. I wore it with silver and turquoise accessories to a christening last weekend.

what about this?

Hi. I am a size 18 and I have just bought a lovely maxi dress in Quiz in Debenhams. They also have 20% off at the moment. I am 5'6" and the dress is actually a bit too long for me! Think they have a website too. Quiz clothing.

I'm going to be honest- I do not like the one in your OP. I don't like those on that blog, either; but I think that's because they're not my style.

Do you definitely want full-length?

this is nice

KoalaFace · 30/05/2014 11:40

I think the dress in your OP is a bit old for you.

Very Dressy

The green is bloody gorgeous!

tethersend · 30/05/2014 11:44

or this

MissyMimi · 30/05/2014 19:48

Thank you so much for your replies I'm just looking through the links now. Really like the one from monsoon. And no it doesn't have to be long, just want to try and cover the lumps and bumps. I've got dark brown hair and olivish skin so can pull off brighter colours. I probably need to be a bit more brave!

Looking at the dress I've ordered again I am beginning to realise it may be a bit frumpy!

Thanks once again for your replies everyone
