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!

ooh beatties do a phase eight concession in wolverhampton, do you think i could get them to ship it over to telford?

they'd prob charge for postage but worth a try

call and ask them how much for dress and postage

I'll nip in tomorrow, put on my best snooty face

anymore ideas in case i cant get that one??

i checked out wallis, principles, debenhams, ted baker and hobbs sites

but nowt to match that one am afraid

damn!! have been really struggling.

what do we think of this?

any opinions?

or this?

lissie - i tried that dress on and it looked bloody awful. like you I'm 5 foot not a lot. not quite as petite as you - size 9 (if it existed) and - funnily enough I too have red hair (not that that's relevant to that dress). It's a very girly style - and I think you can only get away with it if you really are girly. much over 25 (I'm 36) and it just looks frumpy - looks like you're trying too hard to be girly, when really you should be all womanly (which, let's face it, is generally a whole let sexier anyway) It's a great dress, but the syle is quite difficult - and in particular difficult to predict what it will look like on, iyswim. I'm not saying it will look bad on you - it could look brilliant - just warning you that it's a difficult one to wear

it was the spotty monsoon one I was talking about. I quite like the red one - but that waist bow could have a similar effect

hmm thanks hatwoman. i'm 29 so the spotty one may be out of the running. the prob is i dont really have awaist so would the bow on the coast one accentuate that?

how about this?

.

you still a-huntin lissie?

have to stick my neck out here and say i would never wear coast to a wedding

odds way too high of having same dress on as someone else

be braver

go try on the phase eight dress - it'll be perfect i bet

ah, thats a good call. might have to take my lil sis to brum a-shopping!

I like the Coast one - it's very sexy. but I do know what mouse-person means. although I wore a Coast outfit to a wedding last year and no-one else was wearing it.

well, been into coast and monsoon today tried on a fab dress in monsoon but cant find it on their site. think it may be a bit casual tho and coast size 10 is too big for me on my hips. an 8 is WAY too small

on my chest that is

bought this
