Plus Size Casual Wedding/Elopement Dress

Please can someone help me?! OH and I are eloping in Vegas in a couple of months. Originally I had my heart set on a specific dress but I tried it on yesterday and hated everything about it...so back to the drawing board.

I am 24 and a size 20/22, 5ft 2 with big boobs and horrible tummy with long blonde hair and green eyes. Pale but I do tan and I am hoping to have picked up a bit of colour after a few days in the desert!

I'm looking for a dress that is around knee length or longer, not too bothered about the colour but ideally something that is a nod to being bridal so white, ivory, blush etc. I'd like something that shows off a bit of cleavage as that's one part of my body I like. I will consider any style at all, I'm not too great at fashion.

If anyone could help, I'd be so grateful! Thanks in advance Thanks

Thanks for your links! Faux I ordered the V neck ASOS dress a couple of days ago, it arrived today and it doesn't look that great in person Sad. I was thinking along those lines though. You've linked some lovely dresses there.

I'm incredibly excited, been engaged yonks but never thought we would actually get married!

Laska I do like the retro style dresses, have never worn anything like that but maybe I should order and try one.

I'm dieting/exercising like mad so might be able to fit into an 18 but want something that I know fits me now.

Thanks again and if you spot anything else at all, please link! Plus size clothes seem very limited.

IceLemonGin could I butt in and say I love the the last dress in faux fox links. I think as faux fox says it's very Vegas :) good luck for your big day. Hope you have a ball and a great life!

I have a feeling these might be a bit too bridal perhaps, but some might fit the bill.

This one is very cute too, a little nod to bridal with the white top...

off brief colour but lovey maybe with something like this and silver sandals

MrsLettuce · 15/07/2014 21:16

structured, too warm?

www.lindy-bop.com/ophelia-2500.html ? Lovely in the ivory or gold.

This comes in champagne and blush as well as other colours and is made-to-order.

What's your budget?

tethersend · 15/07/2014 22:06

This also has a made to measure option.

IceLemonGin · 16/07/2014 11:41

Maverick Butt in all you like, I do really like the style of the dress, I keep going back and looking at it.

teacupnic I really like most dresses on that site, very bridal but not in anyway meringue like. They're a bit out of my price range unfortunately, the max I can spend really is £150. I like the second dress too but want something a little less casual. Sorry if I'm being a pain in the rear!

MrsLetttuce Love the Biba dress, heading to HoF this weekend so will try it on. Not a colour or brand I'd have thought of. I like the Badgley Mischka dress too but I don't think it would look great on my tummy.

I really like the Lindybop dress Portly added that to my favourites along with the dress Faux linked

I like the first dress tethersend but it's out of my price range and I'd worry it wouldn't be here in time. Not too keen on the second though.

Thanks for your help. Feel like I actually have options now Thanks

Maybe too cheap but comes in white and lilac and has amazing reviews, especially from plus size ladies
