So we've been invited to a v posh wedding this Saturday. I have faffed and not bought anything to wear and need help!

The brides parents are a Sir & lady and the wedding party is back at the family pile. It's a day do, ending at 6.30pm.

My budget is about 100, and I'm a size 10/12, 5ft 7 tall.

Argh it's so soon! And so posh! And daytime! Help please?

Good idea Betty but get the navy one as a fall back just in case!

I love pillbox hats. Classy and timeless.
I went to a ver ver smart wedding a couple of weeks ago. I wore a 60s dress suit in green silk brocade with a big pillbox, plain clutch, matching shoes and BIG sunglasses (that I got free in a magazine).
The whole thing cost less than £100 and I was complemented all day.
I love the 60s dress and matching coat/jacket thing. I swanned about all day pretending I was Jackie O.

Ijustlostthegame .......your outfit sounds awesome!

Am Hoping my sister might get married next summer so am keeping my eyes open for suitable attire.

Definitely want a slim fitting dress with jacket. Plain not flowery. And sophisticated accessories.

Where was your suit from?

Bought it years ago, ebay I think. Etsy have lush ones but most need shipping from usa

I like.

Oh good, I had to buy it because the shops are closing. Let's hope no one says it's awful. I am really not at home in a hat.

I love this dress!

Not sure it needs a hat?

What is your hair like? Have you booked to have it done for the wedding?

Nice dress, nice hat. If you feel uncomfortable in a hat then can also simply hold in hand for increased aura of smart-outfit-ness. Have a great day.

Good tip anonymous thanks.

Calzone my hair is mid length with 3 inch roots Blush ... But the hat will hide that, right?? I'm awful at hair, have no idea what to do with it. I've spent all my money now do can't afford to get it properly done!
