Dress shopping when your bigger is just too hard !!

[olaflikeswarmhugs]

Family wedding in a few weeks . Size 18 . Big tummy and arms . I cannot find a thing I like especially when I have a limited budget . I'm hoping to go no more than £50 and definitely well under £100

Please help ! I need a

Misformum, please please tell me you are joking about that brown eBay monstrosity???

Not sure what you mean by 'funky' op - do you like the '50s styles linked to?
Anyway, Asos have a huge range in plus sizes, and you'd have enough money to buy shoes appropriate for whatever dress you buy, rather than struggling to do it the other way round, iyswim.
I don't say that to be rude - it's just that it's easier to find a dress you love and feel comfortable wearing than it is to find one just because it looks okay with particular footwear.

Oh the link's gone weird but you can refine it to dresses in your size.

Nope. Tastes differ. I thought, being not small myself, that the waves of light fabric would be quite comfortable to wear and the bolero broad stripes tied in with the shoes that the OP has to wear.

Letthemtalk I was just about to post the exact same thing !!

Faux I can't I have a wedding the next day (yes the very next day!) and I'm wearing that

this asos one would be very flattering

www.mandco.com have some nice things in your price range - they do a plus range but their normal dresses all seem to be available in 18/20/22. They seem to be mostly sleeveless so you might want to add a bolero thing.

Or she'd look like a tree.... (As a size 18 myself not a look I'd go for...), that and op is 28 not 58.

I love this but I'm not sure it would work with those shoes.

Mary Portas has quite a few things in the House of Fraser sale which might work this is in your price range.

Lots of lovely dresses on this site but mostly out of the price range.

I do like some of these suggestions ! Like the pink simply be one and I love the 50s style ones . Definitely given me some ideas !

monochrome

plum if you have decent legs

blue

blue again

green

Those shoes are vile, though. Sorry.

I love love love that green kimono one tether !

I know most people don't like them I'm used to getting a slagging for them I like them though and I don't mind I know I can have odd taste sometimes !

Pah, if you like 'em, wear 'em... Most of the stuff I wear would make the S&B board wince

If you ditch the shoes you'll have much more options. It's impossible to style a wedding outfit around them.

Im really into those 50s dresses but I feel like I'd like to try them on . I wonder if there's anywhere in Glasgow that stocks them .

Ok I've looked a bit at 50s style dresses and I've found two I like

Audrey Hepburn
Lucille

The Audrey Hepburn one comes in loads of different colours (although they all have a higher neck)

What do you think ? :)
