Plus Size Wedding Guest Attire

8 replies

GetSetNo · 28/04/2019 12:38

I've ballooned massively over the last decade and I'm ashamed to say, I'm now at my heaviest.

I have no idea what to wear for a wedding in less than 5 days as I keep looking at my wardrobe half heartedly and know that I'll be uncomfortable in any outfit I have apart from one but don't feel it's nice enough for wedding guest attire:

Hell Bunny dress

I've been looking at another but I've started to think it's probably too far the other way, especially as it says it's a bridesmaids dress (although the last wedding I went to, this was the kind of level of dress everyone had stuck to):

ASOS dress

MNetters, I need your help (and in case anyone wondered, the diet starts straight after this wedding!)

I’m in the same boat and have just ordered these to try: (it is a casual-ish wedding):

flowery dress

red dress

Studio 8 is the plus size arm of phase 8 if that’s any help.

Try Lady V, they have some nice bits!

Or, if the budget allows go for a Bombshell hq number!

Have a look at chi chi london, they have some lovely plus size stuff

Also scarlett and jo have lovely well fitted occasion wear

What's the dress code?

Your hell bunny dress could work with the right accessories for many weddings - it depends on the dress code.

@Sunshinegirl82 Thank you for that link. Definitely out of my price range now but I'm sure I can find a time where I can justify it.

@SwimmingintheDeepBLUESea I'll have to check it again. For some reason I don't recall it saying but I'd think definitely formal but not black tie.
