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

Don't worry pink mn might not get back to you now until tomorrow but don't disappear we are happy to wait. Most of us will be ready and waiting to help you out tomorrow once the pics are sorted out.

Once we see what you are trying on and how it looks we will gleefully direct you to things that we think will suit you.

Some of us love a good hunt the right outfit thread!

I don't like the dress, but you are OFFICIALLY not fat! I'd love to be your size.

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 16/04/2019 22:17

Honestly?

I agree. That dress isnt the nicest or the best on you but you have a cracking gorgeous figure! I dont know what I expected but I'd love to be this slim you lool gorgeous!

I'm not hugely fond of that dress but can I say- you are way too harsh on yourself. You look lovely, and I am not just saying that to blow smoke up your arse.

Lobsterquadrille2 · 16/04/2019 22:18

I love dress 1.

BackOnceAgainWithABurnerEmail · 16/04/2019 22:18

I like they but I think it needs to be a little more fitted under the bust to make it flatter your boobs and sit nicely.

kbPOW · 16/04/2019 22:19

I don't like that dress OP - neither the colour nor the style flatters you. But I was looking for the heffalump and you have a great figure! Also don't think that's a flattering length for you.

Princessfaffalot · 16/04/2019 22:19

I think you look stunning!

BackOnceAgainWithABurnerEmail · 16/04/2019 22:19

Also you are no fat. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Watchingthetelly · 16/04/2019 22:19

I love the Reiss dress that @wineis shared. Not feeling the dress in pic 1 OP. You're definitely not fat though and you've a good figure on you!

Pinkarsedfly · 16/04/2019 22:19

Okay, Dress 2 - went back. I’m starting to regret that.

Honestly I thought you were going to be a heffalump.

You are not fat.

Not keen on the dress though.

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 16/04/2019 22:20

Don't like it. You are categorically not fat, but I think a midi length would be much much more flattering.

Pinkarsedfly · 16/04/2019 22:20

You’re all very kind - but I’m 13 bloody stone Shock

I wasn’t this heavy when I was 9 months gone Sad

Myshinynewname · 16/04/2019 22:21

You have a beautiful figure but I don’t like that colour on you. You are definitely not fat!

LorelaiRoryEmily · 16/04/2019 22:21

I’m not mad about that dress either op, as op said I don’t think the length flatters you. I do however wish I had your figure!

NeverTalksToStrangers · 16/04/2019 22:21

I don't love the colour of dress 1 but you're certainly not fat.

Candleglow7475 · 16/04/2019 22:21

I can’t see dress 2 but the colour of dress 1 is a bit drab, but the shape was nice. Your red shoes are fab and you have good legs & ankles!

CuppaTeaAndAJammieDodger · 16/04/2019 22:21

Sorry, that was meant for the 1st photo. I prefer the second, but again, a slightly longer length would look much better in my opinion (not maxi, midi)

LorelaiRoryEmily · 16/04/2019 22:22

Don’t like dress two either. Not for your wedding

Myshinynewname · 16/04/2019 22:22

Just to clarify - I meant I didn’t like the colour of dress 1.

Pinkarsedfly · 16/04/2019 22:22

Ooh, that Reiss dress is nice!
