PLEASE HELP, need a dress for 2 summer weddings!

[lissie]

one is my friends wedding, church, then reception in a posh restaurant. mid july.

other is dhs cousins in a posh hotel. early sept.

i am v short (5'1") and a petite size 8 but with 34C chest and dark red hair. please help me. i want to look nice. this is the 1st time ive seen any of them since i had ds!

what is your budget? Coast is a;ways a good option.

did you see bundle's phase eight dress thread yday?

sounds as though it would be perfect, shape and colouring-wise

max of £90. i did have a coast dress to wear but i've had to put on weight and it doesnt fit me anymore!

here (green and white one bottom right

there you go, £5 left over for an accessorize bangle

That's lovely, InternationalMouse (btw - who are you - I've missed a name change somewhere?)

tis i, tutter

i do like that! with little white kitten heels perhaps?

Ah, thank you.

oh yes

everso slightly 50s-esque imho (era, not age)

lol!

do you think i need a jacket or will a wrap suffice?

def not a jacket - would be too structured for such a girly shaped dress imho

better, a wrap or a teeny cream cardigan for church

somethign like this bolero would be perfect

but in white/cream depending on the shoes you choose? (unless the green tones nicely with the dress in which case green great too)

that dress is on sale in john lewis - its gorgeous....therefore £ in the budget for a wrap - dress is structured so something softer better i reckon - and maybe a little bag too....

i do like it a lot. my hair tend to go really v red in the sun so will look v striking!

(i'm sure you could pick up a plain cream/white one far more cheaply than that one btw)

oh god don't tell bundle mazzystar

cream bolero in m&s for £15

poo, cant buy online!

lissie, call your local john lewis and ask for phase eight concession - see if they have it (and if so, reduced to how much?)

where are you?

i won't

'tis a fabbo dress

no good with my capacious arse though

telford. nearest one is the other side of birmingham! shit!
