dresses for wedding?

[southeastastra]

what can i wear, i've only got one dress and that's black.

OK - what size and shape are you? Good bits, bad bits, favourite colours, and budget? Is it the church bit of the wedding, or the reception (or both)?

wedding and reception. i am a size 12/14, 5ft 6 and have a boyish figure i suppose. i'm very pale too but like a bit of colour. i have no idea what to look for.

its ok to wear black to a wedding nowadays

So you will probably need something to cover your shoulders/arms if the dress doesn't do that, I guess (even if it's just a shrug/scarf or a cardigan?). Hmm - will look...

You can wear black if the dress is suitable in every other aspect and you accessorise carefully, but really there's no need to wear a dress if you don't want to - skirt and top or smart trous v acceptable these days.

But answer all Jackie's qs and we'll do our best...

what colour hair have you?
do pale colours wash you out?

i have some really nice jones shoes that i'd like to wear they're a bit like this but red.

i don't really want to spend tons of money on a dress if i can help it!

shoulder length highlighted blonde.

do you like this style

bargain

wrap style

Wallis have some quite nice dresses in atm

like the last link np! i quite like the longer length on that dress too.

monsoon

nice for a wedding imo

heres your bright colours although personally i dont like linen, but you may

the shoes at the bottom are nice too as is the bag and jacket

monsoon have t ons like this

This might work

good with red shoes maybe

Or how about this ? When you say 'boyish' does that mean 'can get away without wearing a bra' (because that would make that spotty one easier)?

(pmsl at the Nice Printed Dress. Like Nice Ham, d'you think?)

i like the josie dress it'll really crease though won't it? oh i hate buying dresses

Or this has the red in it too.

thats what i dont like about linen

no i need a bra just about

i like the spotty one but what could i wear with it? i really want to impress at this wedding everyone is so used to seeing me in boyish clothes.
