Engagement party outfit.

18 replies

CodenameDuchess09 · 10/06/2017 08:46

My engagement party is on the 11th August and I don't have a clue what to wear so looking for some suggestions.

I am a 26 on top, broad shoulders and 38DD boobs, pregnant looking stomach. 22 on the bottom, quite nice legs.

I am looking for something to hide my stomach and upper arms. Ideally I would like a top and trousers as I would feel more comfortable but will take dress and skirt suggestions as well. Budget £70

Didn't want to not reply, just having a look now...

Studio 8 have some nice tops. The Nisha and Ellianna might be nice with slim fitting black trousers or the Dexie is nice (but it's right at the top of your budget).

What kind of colouring are you? They have some nice dresses too.

Navy and pretty

This comes in pink and green

I like this with a pair of skinny black trousers and these wedges but I don't know if it will make me look massive.

Pretty colour and neckline - the only way to know is to give it a try. An outfit looking good depends on how the wearer feels, I think.

I love that top and especially those wedges. Think it would look lovely. Where are the shoes from?!

CodenameDuchess09 · 10/06/2017 18:07

The shoes are £8 from eBay. Come in black as well😊

I think I'm going to go for it. I really like it though I'm wondering if I could get the chain removed.

I quite like that top.
I don't think you're a 38DD if you're a 26 on top. Bra intervention might help with confidence?

CodenameDuchess09 · 11/06/2017 07:27

What's the bra intervention?

OP posts:

Sorry, I've only just seen this - it just means a well fitting bra can make a difference to the way your clothes look. If you're near a city you can get measured at bravissimo or similar or there's a DIY bra measuring guide here.

How was the pink top? Hope you like it and the shoes Smile

OlennasWimple · 12/06/2017 20:25

Congratulations!

I love the shoes. I like the top but you would need to try it on - there's a lot of material, so you might feel it is too voluminous, or it might just hang really nicely.

This would be nice with those shoes

As would this blue dress

And this denim one (too casual?)

And this patterned one

Any good?

CodenameDuchess09 · 12/06/2017 20:48

I haven't ordered the top yet. I'm thinking of wearing it with white trousers instead of black.

I do like the patterned dress, going to order it and see what it looks like.

So I ordered the top I like it but I'm not in love with it. I also ordered the shoes but can't even fit my feet in them, they are so tight.

I have found this top that I am thinking with navy trousers/skinny jeans and these shoes.

😤so frustrated and my confidence has taken even more of a hit. It's all my own doing though.

Does anyone have any ideas for a nice plus size dress that would suit and apple. I can't seem to find a top that doesn't make me look massive.
