Need a *SPECTACULAR* wedding outfit!

[sweetheart]

I have 2 weddings to go to - one in Dec and another in Feb which is my sisters wedding.

I had baby No 2 last Dec and since then I've lost (or will have by the time the 1st wedding arrives) about 3 stone.

I'm feeling pretty good and really want to treat myself - I was something spectacular that fits me like a glove and makes me look like a million dollars - I'm not asking too much am I.

I'm 25 and in a size 10/12 so I'd like something elegant but also fashionable - but not too fashionable. Would like to show a bit of skin but not too much (esp as it's winter!!!!)

Anyone know of such a dress????? PLEASE

have a meeting now but will come back and check later! TIA

Hi there sweetheart, Ive got a wedding looming in early December, and am looking for an outfit, we live in Spain and the wedding is back n the uk, I have no idea of what to wear? dp and I went shopping today, hes sorted and looking absoultely gorg and fit in a brown pin striped fitted suit! I didnt see very much, all the shops are full of the female pinstripe trouser suit, which I like, but think we could end up looking a bit Harold and Hilda!! The only dresses I saw were all empire line, not sure its for me?
Will be watching this thread with interest!!

First stop Coast and we'll work up from there..

i went to a wedding recently and found several gorgeous outfits in coast - bustier tops with little tie belts with matching or contrasting skirts - mostly very sexy pencil skirts. various colours and fabrics. effect is strapless dress. combine with a warm wrap for winter

cross posted with mrs b - great minds etc

I love Coast - it's usually my 1st (and only) stop - but all there stuff gets the same after a while - I want something a bit different - unusual! Perhaps a one off from a little boutique or something!

any colour preference?

how about this?

Anything but black, white or cream!

okay. that narrows it down!

thanks pmd - not really what i had in mind but thanks for looking. I don't really suit dresses that have floaty skirts as I have a big bottom and they always cling and look horrible!

What sort of budget are you looking at? And do you need 2 separate outfits, or are you hoping to wear the same both times?

I'm hoping to wear the same for both as there will be no guests the same. Uuummmm budget is a hard one - if I found the perfect dress I think I'd ignore the price tag just this once!

Do you fancy a Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress then? Or another one in red (though not a wrap one)? (sorry if these are way off - still trying to get an idea of what you're after). MrsBadger's often around and is the best person for this sort of thing.

thanks for the idea - I think they are a bit plain for a wedding, I would wear those as casual or to work

[ooh, no pressure eh Jackie?]

perhaps try Phase Eight ? Their dresses are generally on the classic side of fashionable but benefit from being tried on as they're sometimes a bit too staid for 25. They have a gold lace Galaxy-type dresses that could be fabulous for a wedding

That's fine - hopefully MrsBadger will be back soon.

what about this?
actually, I might get it...

sorry, bottom left. teal dress.

Oooh wow lovely

Or here

I know you said no black but this is so unusual here

Ah actually i have just realised that those links might just take you to the front page.. well, the top dress was: red Beth dress at £120, the second one was: Tafeta prom dress at £120 and the third one although black is amazing, Mariana dress which is also £120

would you be prepared to pay net-a-porter prices?

That's a spectacular dress, LiliLaTigresse!

lovely, isn't it? there are a surprising number of not too expensive (well, kind of...)but original dresses on there I found

gorgeous and easier to wear again
