Hell fire what to wear to posh wedding

[jocastafantastica]

Please posh ladies help me!

I am going to a wedding in a blooming cathedral next month, it is black tie and cocktail dress/evening dress affair, what the frig should I wear???

I posted here yesterday with some dresses I liked from pretty dress co (can't link thread from iPhone but it's titled 'can I wear navy to a wedding'), however since then DP has casually mentioned this criteria! I am a commoner at heart but do scrub up fairly well, 5'7, 40 yrs old, 12/14 hourglass shape big boobs.......

Any suggestions/advice great fully received :)

oh it has a weird hem.. BOO

i know yada yada this is boring but i LOVE it

i like this one from your pied a terre list, but it may be considered a bit easy access!

i got the reduced one and I am a similar shape to you - the black wasnt as nice fabric as the blue, weirdly

well, the navy

Something like this? I have a similar one that I wore to a posh wedding with heels and a matching bag.

thats the one!! perfect for your shape OP

wear a vest if its freezing and marks 7 denier nde tights

not beanandspud's blue!! its the same colour as Marge Simpson's hair.
I love that hem on the mintvelvet, I didnt seem the grey in store

Lol at blue. Good point

Twoboots Completely agree. I meant the midnight one rather than the Marge blue!

I love the pied a terre ones will order midnight slinky to try tomorrow when on laptop, the Boden one I like is called selina but reviews say it doesn't flatter a large bust.
It is day do at cathedral 3pm, I have to get ready in record time at hotel.
It's the hair/accessories thing I'm worried about now - I really cannot bear the thought of 'done' hair or fascinators, surely a decent blowdry will be acceptable?

Thanks for so many suggestions will give them a good look through and start ordering by the truckload...then I can begin stressing about shoes and bag! Am hoping for a heat wave to avoid shrug/cardi/jacket dilemma, fingers crossed :)

No hair accessirues. Not chic

I just bought this Phase Eight dress for a wedding this weekend.

Comfy shoes. Look at the Mary portas range she did for clarks a couple of years ago. High, sexy but comfy. eBay

These were my sale bargain

Love the blue cv

Like the phase eight dress but have to be careful with too much pattern over bust.

Shoes wise.... Ones I already have that may be suitable....a pair of navy suede peep toe high back heels, Westwood Melissa blue heart sling backs or nude high leather peep toes, hoping to avoid having to splash out on a new pair. All this for people I have never met and prob won't see again!

No hair accessories required yay! Thanks troy I take that as gospel

Ooh love the Mary portas shoes! Must sleep now will be back with tales of successful dress shopping hopefully soon

I like this

Troy highlighted it earlier
I like it enough to buy it

this navy
chainy
leather bombshell hoorays will love
joseph might be too much

If the dress code is black tie , no hat.
