Sadly I've not been invited to the infamous 'Purple Christening' which is currently being debated on AIBU of this forum.
However I am going to a church christening in the autumn and I don't have a clue what to wear. It's not super formal but I would like to look like I made an effort.
I'm hoping you kind folks might have some ideas.
So here are the factors . . .
I'm petite in height and overweight so I like to hide my tummy if possible. I wear a size 18.
I can't wear heels for health reasons.
I don't ever wear trousers because they look awful on me. I am happiest in a dress, long line tunic and leggings or skirt and top combo.
I prefer to have my arms covered. Plus the church is probably cold.
I think jewel tones suit me best. Whites and similarly pale colours make me look awful.
I await your kind ministrations.
