Confidence crisis

Name changed as totally outing myself....

Wedding on Sat (evening do only) and I have nothing to wear. I have a few dresses but have put on half a stone and can’t do them up.
I’ve had a rubbish time lately and I just want to feel good in something.
I went to phase eight today (usually one of my staples) and the assistant was super helpful and I tried on everything in the shop and these were the best of a bad bunch.....

The trousers and top are unflattering I think but quite versatile. The petrol dress is probably the best of a bad bunch as the neckline is good for my humongous tits, but it hangs funny and from the side looks like a maternity dress.
The purple dress in my view looks awful from the back and the neckline is too high for me...

Help ladies. Any suggestions for my shape?

Another vote for dress no. 2

Definitely no 2, it looks lovely

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 17/09/2018 22:16

I think the third looks a bit more modern than 2. Have you been bra fitted recently, Op? A new bra that fits perfectly could make a huge difference to how you feel in anything.

No3 looks the best imo.

Number two is lovely. I think a necklace with colour would add to it. M and S have some attractive ones. Perhsps coloured shoes to match? So elegant.

Thanks to everyone who commented. I ended up with this... it’s gorgeous and I feel great in it!

Excellent choice

Fabulous dress! Enjoy your evening tomorrow!

BusterGonad · 21/09/2018 14:54

Wow, I can tell you feel great in it as you are holding yourself with real confidence, loving the 60s sling backs too!

MoltonSilver · 21/09/2018 15:09

Oh wow. Well done. It's taken years and lbs off you.

FrameyMcFrame · 22/09/2018 23:54

Love it, where is the dress from?

wentmadinthecountry · 23/09/2018 07:48

Love those colours. No 2 was fab but that one is a bit more edgy. Now you can have a great evening knowing you look and feel amazing.
