URGENT! Need a dress for Friday

56 replies

BreadForBrains · 16/07/2014 20:21

Going to a wedding on Friday, it's all outdoors but would like something summery, can change into something warmer later on (I already have warm things).
It needs to be from somewhere like asos that does next day delivery.
Size 16, would like some sort of sleeve, any colour, nothing skintight. Don't know if I'm an apple/pear or whatever, I usually wear dresses with leggings.
Someone help!!

Something like this is quite summery I think - both the colour and also the fabric (ie not polyester which is sweat central). But also formal enough for a wedding...

Thankyou, it's lovely but not really me. Sorry to be a pain, I'm now in panic mode and am desperately flapping because I don't even want to look anymore. I'm feeling a bit rubbish about my weight and tempted just to buy black (again)!!

It'll be alright, really it will!

Budget is important, also how tall are you? What's your colouring? Shall have a preliminary rummage...

MrsLettuce · 16/07/2014 20:40

Are you boobs bigger than your hips, IYSWIM? Boobs and hips similar size? Do you have a waist unlike me?

Thankyou for your reassurance :)
Under £100, 5'7", my colouring is light sort of brown (photo attached but think the flash may have ruined it!)
Still no idea about the shape, my boobs are 34D and I wear a 16 on the bottom (they ate getting a nit loose as I'm losing weight). Does that mean my hips too? I'm guessing not really!
I go inwards if that helps?!

Last one from me now- if you order tonight they'll be with you Tomo so you still have time to sort accessories

BreadForBrains · 16/07/2014 20:52

Ooh I actually love that first oasis one but I don't have a next account and cba to set one up. I will check oasis website.

Love that one mrslettuce, the print is really pretty. Yes Brown hair and eyes.

MrsLettuce · 16/07/2014 20:54

the cut of this looks great

MrsLettuce · 16/07/2014 20:56

and x post again

If you could manage to order a few and send back the rejects it'd make your life much less stressful. Do you have any shoes or bags you'd like to be able to use.

Gah, in blind panic I have entered my password wrong so many times it has now blocked me for 30mins. FFS!
I'm trying to order that first asos one and need to do it before 10pm so it arrives tomorrow :(

letsgotothebeach · 16/07/2014 21:01

Might order that one for myself MrsLettuce! Great price too.

LeoandBoosmum · 16/07/2014 21:01

This is nice! Low stock on size 16 though (100% cotton so no hideous sweaty polyester, pattern on back and front, reviews very positive, in budget, easy to accessorise...and Hobbs delivery is very reliable...you get texts almost up to the minute for delivery if you provide a mobile number)

Hobbs again (a bit dearer but pretty)

I prefer the first one though

BreadForBrains · 16/07/2014 21:01

I would love to order a few BUT IT WON'T LET ME IN!

OP posts:
BreadForBrains · 16/07/2014 21:02

And yes, I have countless bags and shoes to choose from, though we can't wear heels due to wedding being held outside on grass.

LeoandBoosmum · 16/07/2014 21:03

Oops, just saw you want sleeves... Could you not wear a little cardy or jacket?
