Dress for wedding, hoping for validation

10 replies

My Dd got married in April and I wore a red dress with a silver lace coat thing, silver hat and silver shoes. I looked fine and more importantly for me and Dd I was comfortable.
My husbands Niece is getting married next week and I can't find a dress. I'm short, with biggish boobs, a big tummy, no hips and skinny legs. Everything I try is ill-fitting and uncomfortable. I have decided to wear the same red dress that I wore 4 moths ago to my DD's wedding. I have found a lovely black facinator and would get new shoes and handbag, I would not be wearing the lace coat.
As I say, I'm asking for validation, everyone I've asked so far has said it would be fine.
I am not set on any other Colours for accessories but I pretty much have to wear the red dress. Advice and or validation would be much appreciated.

Validation ✅

One hundred percent fine. Especially with different accessories. I like red and tan/gold rather than black but black could also work.

No problem with wearing the dress. I wouldn't go black for accessories though, it's a bit Moulin Rouge in my opinion. Maybe try nude / gold instead?

Totally fine, even if you used the same coat thing and accessories again!

Great idea.

wear again, obviously. buying clothes you wear only once is really wasteful and stupid. thats why frilly frock brides get ripped off.

Good idea to wear the dress again but probably not with black.
As PP said maybe nude?

MrsMotherHen · 10/08/2018 09:51

maybe navy with it or nude but same dress 100% ok

Hoppinggreen · 10/08/2018 09:51

Accessories I mean, don’t go nude!

Navy accessories and shoes. Red and navy classic.
