Help! I'm short and fat and need a dress for a wedding!

Need to dress for my cousin's wedding very soon. Am short (5'3) and fat (18) with big tummy and boobs and honestly have no clue about clothes at all. I mostly just want to blend into the background as everyone else is going to be blonde and gorgeous. Help!!!

I'm a plus size woman too. I hate formal occasions precisely because I feel the same way you do. I like both these dresses. Although the flowery one is my favourite I usually cover my arms so would lean more to the red boohoo one (although I would get it in black)

Lindy bop and Lady V London do 50's style dresses that would maybe suit your shape. Pretty kitty clothing too. Try a lace swing dress. The sticky out skirts look over the top on the websites but they aren't half as wide without a petticoat but still hide a tummy

Thanks both - I've ordered one of the ladyv dresses - slightly scared of it but fingers crossed!
