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?

Something like this

I love Amazon clothes- the fitting is generous , comfortable and fluid.

Mummyoflittledragon · 15/07/2018 13:42

The dark coloured one one is nicer and your style. The others made you look fat and you’re not. It’ll be nice for a casual wedding in a pub. Ideally you’d have something lighter in colour though. The bonus is you’ll get lots of wear out of it though.

Highlights12 · 15/07/2018 13:43

The last looks much better than the others

thefinn · 15/07/2018 13:44

The fourth looks nice imo. I love the sandals, assuming you have time and you are going to buy that dress, pick one you really love.

MrsBertBibby · 15/07/2018 13:44

I reckon you could find something more light/bright, but that 4th one is a definite banker, if you're running out of steam.

Loonoon · 15/07/2018 13:45

That last one is the best so far.

NoelHeadbands · 15/07/2018 13:45

You have a lovely figure but the first dress looks like you’re off to a fancy dress party as Spongebob Squarepants. What were they thinking?

BuckysRoboticArm · 15/07/2018 13:45

I like the 4th dress. Love the dress that justme28 posted, do they have that in stock?

Gemini69 · 15/07/2018 13:45

Number 4 is lovely Grin

thefinn · 15/07/2018 13:45
  • buying a dress, not necessarily that one.
Mummyoflittledragon · 15/07/2018 13:46

The nermidor dresses are lovely speakout. Much nicer than what op has shown us. Deffo good for her body shape and stretch so pretty fab.

I love the lindybop one on the page before but idk if it would be big enough in the bust for op.

CoperCabana · 15/07/2018 13:47

Are you still trying stuff on?

AnnaMagnani · 15/07/2018 13:48

Last one is better but looks like office wear.

Seriously would think about going to a Bravissimo about the bra.

IsaidMrDarcynotArsey · 15/07/2018 13:48

Cossover V neckline ( you might need to pop a lil stitch on to stop it gaping depending on fit ) late 40’s early 50’s are I think would be the most flattering.

MrsBertBibby · 15/07/2018 13:48

I would like to see you in something like JustMe's pic, OP. I can't wear stuff like that but I reckon you would look great.

IsaidMrDarcynotArsey · 15/07/2018 13:49
  • era not are
Chickenbhunaandoice · 15/07/2018 13:49

The blue one- last one is a work dress- everyday- not wedding

Chasingcars123 · 15/07/2018 13:49

The last one is lovely on you!

CountFosco · 15/07/2018 13:50

The fourth one is a much better shape and the colour is the best on you so far. It's Jigsaw isn't it?

Tell you what is fascinating though is seeing what a difference there is to how different your shape looks from dress to dress. Your boobs look so much smaller in the last dress than the first two!

Bunbunbunny · 15/07/2018 13:50

As previous poster suggested get up to Bravissimo, you’re not far there is one in Margaret street just by Regent Street you can get tube there. They’re designed for women with boobs, and they look gorgeous.

Also drums fingers

TornFromTheInside · 15/07/2018 13:52

Something like this is possible with a fuller figure - and (imo) suitable for a wedding...

I love that dress Justme posted at 1339 and it will really go with the brown sandals. You've got loads of time don't compromise on a style that suits you it's a great time to buy with lots of summer stuff still in the shops atm

Whisky2014 · 15/07/2018 13:54

The last one looks like work wear. You can do better.
