ok so im fat and poor...

[marsybum]

but i have a wedding to attend at the end of the month so i need to find something to wear that I wont look completely hideous in!

Im a size 24 and to complicate things i have rheumatoid arthritis so cant wear heels as my feet hurt too much

any recommendations oh style gurus?

wow you've all found so much choice! the simply be stuff is lovely but it seems you need a credit account to order - does anyone know if they carry a decent range in their stores? There's one in my hometown but i rarely go to that shopping centre as my walking isnt good enough to enjoy it!

Do you live near any Indian fabric shops?

Friend of mine had beautiful loose tunic made with gorgeous Indian fabric she wore it with loose linen trousers and was able to wear very flat shoes-arthritis so her feet swell.

Loveliest and most original mother of bride outfit I have seen for ages- think it came in under £100 -helpful ladies in shop gave her a pattern and recommended dress maker.

Just checked the site and you can pay in full when you order using a debit card if you like.

I really Like that SimplyBe one FlossyMoo If I wasn't on a no-spend month, I'd be ordering that :)

Have you had a peek at Lady V London OP?

I find their stuff to be good quality and well fitting. Also not too expensive, they have a sale on at the moment and I have not only bought a few things purchased anything

Hi Mary.
I'm size 24 and go to simply be evans asda and new look.

Also try monsoon. Their dresses come up big so a 22 with a bit of stretch will quite often fit a 24 or even a 26.

Yours clothing is quite cheap and has some nice surprises in amongst the other bits.

Asos clothes are gorgeous, too.

Reframe your thinking.you're a wedding guest looking for outfit
Wear pumps they'll be comfy
Enjoy

I'm in the same boat (off to a wedding next month, size 24 and pretty skint)

To look smart i need some something in a heavier weight fabric, and fitted, Maxis and lose shifts make me look like a ship in full style

I've ordered a 50s ish swing dress from Lindy Bop, cheap and hopefully will flatter my shape. Fitted top, with full circle skirt to hide wobbly belly and thighs.

Will be wearing flats as I'm 5`11 and look stupid in heals.

(Lindy bob dresses are usually quite flimsy, IME, Sorry. Is this too pricey? Looks to be right on brief)

Could you do a 22? this is a bargain...

This would be nice with flat gold sandals

silver would work well with suede flats and clutch.

black and white

over budget
