I am NOT enjoying choosing my wedding dress - pics

Pinkarsedfly · 16/04/2019 21:22

I’m getting married on my 45th birthday, in just a couple of weeks - and I’m so excited.

Except I’m at my fattest. Ever. And suddenly who I feel I am inside doesn’t match what’s in the mirror.

I simply can’t find a dress that suits me.

I keep thinking I’ve found ‘the one’ - then I see the pics and just feel I look heinous, and back it goes.

If I show the pics, can anyone out there give me honest feedback, make suggestions etc?

It’s a tiny registry office wedding followed by a nice dinner after.

TIA

Have a look at Dorothy perkins I can add photos but search for Showcase Pink Bodycon Dress

Fitted is the way forward. I like the bombshell hq one the best.

Building on the red shoes theme, i think you'd look fantastic in this hobbs dress:

My favourite so far! You look lovely in it and it seems perfect for your wedding - glam but not OTT.

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 14:52

Ooh, I like this one too!

Even with the high neckline I don’t think I’m getting bolster tits...

I’m actually a bit in love with the second one

The first blush pink one with the flowers is gorgeous. It's a lovely fit on you.

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 14:54

Oh heck...I can’t decide.

Two more...

I love the second one you've just posted. Really lovely. As an aside, I find it unbelievable that you are 13 stone! Great shape.

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 14:56

Jesus.

The peach monstrosity is worse than I could ever have imagined.

It’s like the 80s puked it up

And the white one is milkmaid-on-holiday

Number 2 is gorgeous, a bit different but won't date and a fab cut for you. Just needs some pops of bright colour to liven it up - flowers, accessories shoes etc.

Only thing is I'm not sure your red shoes will go - have you tried?

MrsT4 · 17/04/2019 15:01

I really really reeeeeeeally want you to order this one to try on. Grin

Hence why I'm linking it again 😂

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 15:02

I’ll await the verdict of my fairy godmothers. I do think the second looks more expensive. The first one only has embroidery at the front which makes me wonder if it cheapens it a bit?

OP posts:
Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 15:03

That is lovely MrsT4 but I don’t think it’s right for a city wedding. If I was getting married on a beach it’d be lovely, but we’re getting married in Old Marylebone Town Hall and then jumping in a cab and heading down to The Ivy.

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 15:04

I don’t think the red shoes will go, no.

Silver?

Love that last picture you posted. The flowery one is nice too, but the last one is more special and suits you better.

NW2SW · 17/04/2019 15:10

Oooh or a chunky metallic could be lush! I'd be tempted to go really bold colour palette, really show your personal style. Bring out the mix of colours you seem drawn to in the embroidered garments in the accessories.

I went for a bright shoe - pic below. Shoe shopping was far more in than the dress Grin

Roger that. Wink

This would fit the venue and go with your shoes!

Fingermoose · 17/04/2019 15:13

The last one is lovely OP. I'm not an expert but maybe navy would go with it?

Pinkarsedfly · 17/04/2019 15:17

I love that one MrsT4 but it’s sold out everywhere in my size.

I’m wondering whether bright emerald green shoes would go with the pink?
