Not your normal run of the mill shop but sometimes I have a found a one off
Not sure if this will work but thought it was slightly similar to the sparkly silver one that was posted but more wedding like

will stop posting now Grin

gingerbreadmanm · 16/08/2016 19:16

theres some gorgeous cropped tops on coast you could wear with a full midi skirt.

Racheyg · 16/08/2016 19:26

just wow some of them dress are very pretty. Not a fan of pink but I do like the 1st navy dress. Is it too dark thou?

ginger i love grey but I fear that is a colour that might be in the wedding. I normally go for the strapless style as I quite like my collar bone weird I know. Confused

But I didn't realise how much fat my back had. The reason I'm looking for a more colourful dress is after the meal it's going to be a huge club style party going on till early morning so I kind of wanted a dress to carry me through day and night.

Hi Rachey, you have a lovely figure and killer tattoos.

This site is a bit expensive but their clothes are lovely, nice quality and they have shops in Brighton if you want to try on:

www.prettyeccentric.co.uk/clothing-c3/dresses-c4

There's also Collectif, who do reasonable priced clothes in a vintage style. That I think will really suit your figure and the tattoos. I don't see it as costume- if you've got a lot of ink it says edgy and rockabilly to me.

MrsUnderwood · 16/08/2016 19:36

Oh and regards back fat- if you're wearing something tight and strapless (like a corset) you can slide it round the front and Bam! Bigger tits for nowt.

justaweeone · 16/08/2016 19:39

I don't think the navy is too dark and would work with your tattoos
You could add a pop of colour with shoes and accessories or gold ,silver or rose gold if you are not a fan of colour
I went to a wedding where we stayed at the venue and lots of people got changed in the evening ready to party hard!!

gingerbreadmanm · 16/08/2016 19:41

i dont think you have back fat its just the cut of the dress.

MrsGsnow18 · 16/08/2016 19:41

You def aren't fat OP! I think you have a great figure!
I think something fitted would be more flattering.
I know what you mean though by not wanting a 'coast' style dress, I always try and avoid HOF/ debenhams and all the usuals for weddings.
How long do you have until wedding? There's a good website called Lindy bop that does vintage style dresses, some are swing style but I love their wiggle dresses, very flattering!

TellMeSomethingNew · 16/08/2016 19:43

I actually like the outfit. And you're not fat at all. It's just too small for you/not flattering for your body shape!
