What to wear to a wedding in August?

Tentacles · 18/06/2007 18:38

My DH is best man, so I really need something in keeping with him. He's wearing a black suit, white shirt, gold tie & waist coat.
I've found a white linen skirt which comes to just below the knee, but don't know what to wear with it.
I'm open to suggestions or a completely new idea all together. budget will be about £50.

Tentacles maybe we should pool resources - had a thread from last night looking for a dress for a wedding - some nice suggestions (although still undecided) - one near the top suggested by 100x - black and white strapless might be good for you?

I'e name changed ack to me now, hae some pics of me up, ut not great ones

MrsBadger · 19/06/2007 16:02

that pink dress could be good colour on you
consider also pale or duck-egg blue, or dusty green
think black and white might wash you out a bit.

and def new bra [stern]

you will look lovely

lissie · 19/06/2007 16:04

agree with mrsb, love the colour of your hair!

hermykne · 19/06/2007 16:07

wait for the sales too, you might get a dress at 100 for 45, out of coast
apologies if thats been linked to or said already

burstingbug · 19/06/2007 16:10

Thanks, my hair does go a nice colour with some sun. at sagging norks on the trampoline! Yes new bras needed
Trying to find more pics of me, I seem to escape the camera
Will go for the other colours and not black & white then

sparklesandwine · 19/06/2007 17:14

agree with MrsB a new proper fitting bra is a must it does wonder for anything you wear!

so spend more on gorgeous well fitting underwear and buy a dress off ebay! (sure your DH would like that too )

burstingbug · 19/06/2007 17:18

He probably would
Will deffo go in to town and strap up the norks!
Maybe ebay dresses will be a good route, I have some good ideas from here to go away and play with. Will look for dusty greens and duck egg colours.
