Please help with plus sized wedding outfit.

[wifeyhun]

We have been invited to a wedding in July. First wedding I have been to since I was about 10.

I am 5ft 8 and a size 20 at the moment.

I'm not really a dress person but willing to try. Would prefer trousers, are these allowed at weddings?, so would need a nice top.

I'm totally lost please help.

Simply be have some nice occasion wear. Trousers and top are perfectly fine. Decent underwear is a must, include that in your budget.

How old are you?

Have a look at Studio 8. They have some lovely stuff. I wore palazzo trousers and a beautiful Monsoon tunic to a wedding when I was a size 20 (sadly now much bigger)

A printed palazzo pant and white shirt would look very smart. Add a scarf or jacket.

Troodie I'm 35 and I would say I carry most of my weight round the middle

Will def get decent pants to hold it all in.

Will check simply be and studio 8 now.

Palazzo pants are a good idea.

Thanks

Trousers perfectly appropriate - my mum is wearing them to my wedding this summer!

I'm about the same size as you, and have found great outfits in Debenhams over the years.

Asos have some good plus sized options, both their curve label and also other brands.

Trudy, I am same size and height as you , got thread running at the moment about dress for wedding so feel your pain. I just ordered these trousers from Boden www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/womens-trousers-jeans/trousers/wm467-dbl/womens-imperial-blue-vine-print-camille-wideleg-trousers and they are very flattering and elegant. I ordered in the navy and cream and they also do culottes as well [[http://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/womens-trousers-jeans/trousers/wm475-ivo/womens-ivory-nancy-culottes]]. I was surprised how good they looked on me as I carry weight round my middle. Would definitely be fine for a wedding in my books and if my dress hadn't worked out they were my back stop. Keeping them any way as I like them so much.

Try Navibi they are a greman company. Their occasion clothes are lovely if a little bit pricey.

sorry OP should be Wifey instead of Trudy.

Will check asos. Elf will seek out your thread. Those Boden trousers are good.

Thanks all so far, feel a bit less stressed now.

My thread is the want to be fab not frumpy wedding guest one. I'm 50 so quite a bit older than you but I think those trousers would suit any age and you could wear something on top to make them look a bit more edgy.

Found your thread Elf. Lovely dress.

On a side note what pants should I buy to hold everything in? Spanx or a alternative.
