6 days to sort out my outfit for brother's wedding

[Tutter]

well, 5 actually, as we leave on friday

so, i have a jacket and wide legged black crepe trousers, but could do with a top

it has to be small and neat enough not to interfere with the wide neck of the jacket

evening-y style, as i'll keep the jacket on for the service and meal

i suppose black would be fine, but i'm not a fan of black tops - not great with my colouring. would prefer something that tones with the jacket - so gold/caramel/bronze

any ideas? i am small of nork, wide of back, and gently wobbly of tummy. pretty good arms and shoulders

how about this?

or this

or this

That first one's gorgeous MamaG.

thanks mamag but i'm deffo not a bustier kind of a girl

others i quite like but they won't work with the jacket

need something that can't be seen when the jacket's on, othersie will spoil the look i think

Monsoon have this and this , or also this , not sure if you want strapless, but it will certainly avoid being able to see it under the (gorgeous) jacket.

OK - x posted. Avoid the bustiers. Camisole types OK?

Not sure if this would be wide enough not to show?

ooh jackieno, i really like the camisole - colour would work fine with the outfit i think

bugger, only size 20 available

Check out here
They do some great items for occasions?

Sorry - forgot to check sizes. What size do you need? How about this one ?

This is lovely too.

12, jn

not keen on the principles one

my taste is minimal - not a fan of fuss

figgypud - coast is a weirdy sitre - can't link to an item, where's the one you were looking at?

the principles origami one i quite like - had seen it myself. not sure it would be great on me, as the wwrap style often accentuates wide middles

plus v-neck not great for the norkless

but might be ok with chicken fillets

Not sure if it will go actually
Was looking at helena shirt code is 2233626403

what about this one?

Hmm - there's another possibility here , but may be too flowery for your taste?

tutter i like that principles one!!

Some more ideas here (but might be too long?) or the same one in cream , or does this have too much pattern (and what does 'split back' mean?)?

i have ordered the two principles ones (green/gold cami and gold 'origami' one) - will let you know how i get on....

thanks all x

Too frilly?
Would this work?
This is nice , but I suspect too pale.

right

tops arrived and i like this one

so, am wearing it under this jacket

only problem is that the top is longer than the jacket

so i have a dilemma - do i wear just the jacket in the daytime, then change later? think it looks neater without the top underneath, and it's quite a loose fit so shouldn't be uncomfortable to wear buttoned up. but, if i get hot and bothered chasing after ds maybe it'll stress me out

what do you think - not good to see a couple of inches of hem sticking out from under jacket?

Good solution from irishbird - if you reckon you can't get away without tucking the cami in, just wear a plain black one till the evening. Glad everything's coming together.

cami would look baaaaad if had been tucked in

plus - extra volume around my girth is definitely not required

i have a plain black m&s vest so shall go with that for the day, then get changed later
