A casual pub wedding. And other stories. I’m a 38g above. Its not a wedding dress is it? Isn’t it a funny colour?

Your shape is lovely, please don't worry, you can find a dress! You have a clearly defined waist, great boobs and long legs.

I would start with a new bra - treat yourself to something that fits beautifully and is comfortable.

Then you want a nice bright summer dress for the weather, that show your personality - not what odd lasses in the shop appear to have picked.

Are you in a department store? Debenhams?

They are And Other Stiries it always looks so nice in the window

Sorry op but that first one looks like a sack! The second looks really washed out. Who sells stuff like this! I see another poster had put an Asda later link up, she is correct, there is better stuff their. I think something more fitted, especially up top would suit you better.

SilverHairedCat · 15/07/2018 13:11

What's the red one like? The one on the hanger behind you?

divafever99 · 15/07/2018 13:11

That Lindybop dress on the above link is gorgeous I would go with something like that.

I’m just at kings cross I can’t really go too far yet. There’s a jigsaw here I don’t think much . I thought my bra was ok

Sometimes the stuff you like in the window/on the page just isn't the right shape or style for you. I'm like this with Baukjen. I would buy my whole wardrobe from there if it flattered me but sadly it all looks awful Sad.
You're in the wrong shop.

Who are they? Like mentioned your legs look great but the dresses, the first one in particular do nothing for your figure. I gathered from your OP that you don't like these either. Love the colour of the second dress. Good luck!

jollyoldsoul · 15/07/2018 13:14

I see you in a tea dress. With vintage accessories and make up maybe? X

PatchworkElmer · 15/07/2018 13:14

Don’t listen to them OP. You’ve got a fab figure and can find something much better!!

MrsBertBibby · 15/07/2018 13:14

I'd have thought a more V shaped neckline (like an open neck shirt) would look better with your bust. The round neck does it no favours.

annandale · 15/07/2018 13:15

Neither dress is great. I like &other stories but had to search to find stuff that suited at all. Where else can you try?

SilverHairedCat · 15/07/2018 13:16

Apologies OP, your bra is fab, I assumed, wrongly, that you hadn't been refitted when you said they were bigger in recent weeks! Sorry.

My picture won't post 😢

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 15/07/2018 13:20

I suspect that even the young hipster girls would look like an extra in Robin Hood in that first one

MrsBertBibby · 15/07/2018 13:20

What dress shops do you usually do well at?

EachandEveryone · 15/07/2018 13:20

This is the last one and I’m off to jigsaw it’s not really wedding is it

Can you post so we can see your neckline?

Whisky2014 · 15/07/2018 13:23

Both are crap. Move on

HollowTalk · 15/07/2018 13:23

That last dress is very ageing, OP.

SilverHairedCat · 15/07/2018 13:24
