What do people wear to weddings?

I'm never invited to any due to having no family/ having a severely autistic DS.

But my DPs brother is getting married and me and DS are invited! This is a big thing because my own family basically fucked us off because of DSs disability.

But what do I wear? I hardly have any money due to leaving teaching to care for DS. Anyone got any cheap ideas?

I think that's wedding appropriate with the right shoes. I'd maybe lose the black socks.

It doesn't look like you need to lose weight for it either.

I thought DSs black socks looked rather fetching on me Shock

I'd definitely go with that one. Its far more weddingy. Could you get a cream/white pashmina instead of your black cardigan. You can pick them up for a few pounds on market stalls or ebay. It would then elevate it to another level.

Hurr1cane, I have a very soft monsoon pashmina in cream if you would like it? It's been in my wardrobe for ages, would be happy to post it tomorrow if you PM your address to go with your dress.

I know what it's like when shopping is a struggle.

Hurr1cane · 14/08/2014 16:11

Littlepinkpear that is so kind of you.

That dress is lovely for a wedding. I would take up the kind offer of the pashmina and you will look fine.

Hope you have a nice time.

Looks great - and good photography skills I'd say. Doesn't look like you need to lose weight to me. Have a great time!

Agree with others - you look great, dress is striking, don't need to lose any weight, your Ds's photography is better than mine and lose the socks!

Just read the thread, I think the dress is lovely, really pretty and fits you very well.
