I need a wedding outfit. Many caveats. Wah!

Help please!

Requirements:

Large of nork and arse so no bodycon or strapless/spaghetti straps.

Knees that have been operated on and so are a scarred mess so preferably mid to long length dress.

Nothing that requires sky high heels because of said knees.

Very pale complexion. Browny/blondey longish hair.

Tendency to wear a lot of black. Also swishy hippy dippy temple pants.

Fancy the challenge?!

Go to John Lewis and seek the stylist's advice.

What size and budget?

Do you want sleeves?

tethersend · 16/04/2015 23:52

How do you feel about this?

I had pretty similar requirements. I bought this from toast. It's much nicer in real life than on the website plus I got it when it was the sale.anyway I like it m.johnlewis.com/mt/www.johnlewis.com/store/toast-shigawa-dress/p1805206?colour=Sulphur&un_jtt_v_dummy=yes#page_loaded

What shops can you get to easily?

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 17/04/2015 00:43

Do you like this sort of style? (Think the colour is too pale for you?)

That mint velvet one is lovely! Similar norkage issues here btw.

TrollTheRespawnJeremy · 17/04/2015 21:25

Oh lots of replies ;)

I am not really a John Lewis style advisor type of person.
More of a Helena Bonham Carter style of dressing, but I need to pull it together a bit.

I still want to look like 'me' just less me.

Budget is fair- really depends on what the item is. (Happy paying xxx for a viv w dress)

Te mint velvet dress is lovely but I'm not sure about the colour or fitting the boobs in. Might end up looking like a giant boob shelf

What size?

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 17/04/2015 21:46

Longer length here or here

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 17/04/2015 21:50

Monochrome but too casual? Depends on accessories

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 17/04/2015 21:52

Anglomania crepe?

CloserToFiftyThanTwenty · 17/04/2015 21:55

Beautiful if your colourings allow

If you like hippy/HBC style, have you tried [www.joebrowns.co.uk]?

I love them (although sometimes they're too out-there for me!).

There's a range of both dark and light colours. Can't remember if you mentioned your size, but they also do plus-sized range via simplybe.
