Help I need a wedding guest dress

I'm massively overweight at the moment, almost the same weight I was when 9 months pregnant. Size 18-20 5ft 8 Big belly with large norks and wide back and broad shoulders, comparatively skinny legs and a tiny bum. Need something to wear for a wedding in 2 weeks but just feel like a big, fat, frump. Can anyone help? I don't even know where to look and to top it all I'm skint so can't cost a fortune.

Wedding venue is fancy hotel, forgot to say that.

I think that this would make the most of your legs and bum. The embellishment is nice too www.studio-eight.com/fcp/product/studio8/shop-all-sale/harley-dress/230312351

I wonder if this one might be more forgiving?

Have you looked at the ASOS Curve range? Lots of lovely stuff at decent prices

Hereshopingforimprovement · 24/07/2018 13:45

Thanks everyone. Second one looks good, I think the first one may make me look fatter. Anything that hangs off my boobs tends to make me look huge. Empire lines or v necks tend to work best. Going to have a look at ASOS curve now. I have never ordered anything from ASOS, I think I may be the only person in the universe that hasn't!

I have ordered a ton of stuff, will probably return all of it. Thoughts on jumpsuits for a wedding? Will add pics of what I have ordered but will need a few posts.

One of these is a maternity dress but that might not be a bad thing!

I like the spotty one best and I quite like the first blue one.

BuntyCollocks · 24/07/2018 17:44

I know you’re not pregnant but this is beautiful, maybe size down?

Agree the spotted one is great. That or the green tulle (which I adore and am hoping they have in my size...). Someone wore a jumpsuit to my wedding and she looked bloody amazing.

Loved the spotty one

PickleJuice · 24/07/2018 21:17

Green tulle is gorgeous

naebotherpal · 24/07/2018 22:14

Spotty one is lovely!

Hereshopingforimprovement · 25/07/2018 12:01

I have a horrible feeling they may not look as lovely on me. Fingers crossed one of them fits and looks presentable. Will update when they arrive.

Dressed have arrived. Green tulle sadly too small. The jumpsuits are arriving tomorrow but so far the one I like best is the one I didn't manage to post a pic of!

I like the spotty one. Have you had a look at the Zoe Vine curvy section. They have some really nice dresses and I think the summer sale should be on now.
