URGENT! Need a dress for Friday

[BreadForBrains]

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!!

Go and grab some wine a cup of tea. You've an hour yet - breathe.

How about this? She is bigger than you but I think the cut is great. The print is little birdcages (Lady V Vintage London)

First hobbs one is a bit delicate for me, and the second one is a bit formal for this occasion, it's quite a laid back affair!
Thanks for the suggestions though :)

Wedges or a blocky heel are fine on grass, IME.

I quite like this.

black floral

Okay...it's black and has no sleeves at all BUT if you could get a little bolero in a bright colour to make it pop (and put a piece of ribbon around the waist in the same colour) it could look amazing on your body shape...
A colour like turquoise would be great with your colouring and skin tone)... Black shoes and bag, a bit of silver jewellery...voila!

Also gorgeous and would need something on top and a little over budget..

The one tethersend posted just above is glorious, cotton on the outer body too and looks way more expensive...could look beautiful with some nice understated accessories...minimal jewellery and cream or another pale neutral shoes and bag! I love that...good find Tethers! :)

Waaaahhh!!!
Tried to get a password reset from asos but they're not sending it yet!
I want to cry :(

Can't have booze, I've got a spin class booked at super early in the morning :(

Just seen warehouse do a 90 minute turn around on.deliveries though...

Missed the boat on that one now though :(

Are you in one of the areas for HoF same day delivery

Can you pop to the sales tomorrow? Perhaps less stressful to have tried it on before you buy. Or borrow a dress from a friend? Good luck! Enjoy the wedding.

Is there possibly someone you could borrow something from?

Right. With any luck, I have ordered (under a new asos account for do!) the dress mrslettuce linked to at 20:49.
Just awaiting confirmation, then will go and pour myself a sneaky vodka and soda.
Thanks to everyone for your help, and sorry for being a stresshead

MrsLettuce I LOVE that dress. Am same size as OP and was going to wear a dress a I wore to another wedding, (a Billie and Blossom dress from DP) but really think I'm going to go for that instead!!

Oh, think I am too late, but maybe size down on the asos dress- maybe order a smaller one too?

I have that dress in another print, it's lovely, but you don't want it too big.

Still no confirmation but had about 10 password resets with the time 21:19 so who knows.
Given up now, I'm guessing by the time they send the confirmation through it will start from after 10pm so it's a guessing game as to wether or not it will arrive in time

Thanks all for your help, go for it stars, it looks like a lovely dress :)

Well super service from asos, dress has arrived. :)
Unfortunately, when I wear it, I resemble grannys curtains :(
I will be in my trademark black funeral/wedding/birthday dress in scorching heat after all

Oh no I ordered it too.
Is there no way you can pop to Dorothy Perkins in the morning, the brand stuff they have bought it has some nice stuff, and really reasonably priced xx
If you have to wear the black dress, colour it up with accessories! X

I could possibly do that, Dp is now not 'working working' so I could leave ds with him.
Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely dress but it really makes me look all round chunky. Tbh, it's probably more my issue than the dress but I know o can't wear it tomorrow!

Are you really sure it's granny's curtains? Not just shock from your usual black?

Do you have anyone irl to give honest opinion?

If it's really not what you want and you do have to go with the black I would say do not add coloured accessories but just simple jewellery, nice shoes, and amazing make up.

Well friend popped round while I was wearing it earlier and she was very polite about it, saying it looked like I would stay cool in the hot weather, and that it was nice material
And Dp said it was lovely, but he always says that if I'm dithering!

I don't wear jewellery as it annoys me, And I don't wear make up as I hate the feel and think I'm pretty enough without!!
