I have a wedding to go to. My partner's bother. I'm 43. It will be full of the young and beautiful. I don't want to look like mutton, but would like to hold my own iyswim. I'm size 14, F cup bra, so I don't really want anything too strappy.

I don't really want to spend a fortune either. I don't see them very often and we are not that close.

Please can anyone help? I've spent the last 3 hours looking on line and my eyes are stinging now. I've given up Confused

What colours suit you? And what parts of you do you want to show off / hide?

ClickHip · 13/07/2017 23:05

I tend to look washed out in very pale colours. Have fair skin. Bit of a bingo wing thing going on, knees have seen better days, but other than that, I can live with the rest of it...

You're similar age, colouring and size to me.

How about this?
I really like it, but possibly too dark for a summer wedding.

ClickHip · 14/07/2017 07:25

I love that! Buy yes, I agree, probably a bit dark

What about something like this?

I don't think navy is too dark for a summer wedding. Accessorise with orange or bright blue. It is a classy dress (the Phase 8 one) and you will get more than one wear out of it. You can tell I am soooo old with all this practical take on it Grin

This dress is magic. Makes me look 5 inches taller and somehow thinner and shapelier Confused Not particularly suitable for a summer wedding but you could accessorise it with silver?
get it anyway

ClickHip · 14/07/2017 07:57

Dawned, like your style! I could be very tempted with that..

pasta, you may be into something with bikes dress...I doooo really like it...

Think I may well bed both dresses...Hmm Grin
