What do you wear to weddings if you don't like dresses?

My figure just doesn't suit dresses, too fitted and my pot belly ruins the line, too sack like and my giant boobs take over, I have lumpy arms and horrid legs, I don't hate myself, but I do hate dresses!

I know the obvious solution is a lovely skirt and top, but because I am so curvy (I am size 14, hourglass, with previously mentioned massive boobs) anything that is fitted around my waist makes me look matronly or tarty.

Any ideas?

I don't do dresses either. I'm a short pear and apple shaped all in one so look awful in dresses.

For my brother's wedding 2 years ago I wore some blue floral cigarette pants with a trapeze cami and a waterfall blazer.

Not black trousers!

but other trousers can look great, especially if it's a less formal wedding

I'd have thought maxi dresses would be the very worst thing to wear with your figure, OP?

I'm not fond of dresses either, but I am in the US where many weddings are in the evening; the last one I went to I wore black silk slim ankle pants trousers and a royal blue silk top.

I wore cream tailored pants with black and cream fitted top with cream full length smart coat/ suit jacket. large pearl necklace with a small black fascinator for my cousins wedding. Looked really good actually.

Tu have a lovely pink jacket and trousers that I thought would look lovely for a wedding.
