Christmas wedding guest outfit

8 replies

Help please! I have a wedding on NYE and I don't have anything to wear yet...

I am very short (5 foot) around a UK size 12 (not much waist...). Mousey blonde hair, pale.
I don't have local shops so need to order online. Any suggestions?
I've been on Boden petite but they all seem quite casual?

I'm used to summer church weddings with fascinators and garden-party type dresses and I just don't know what to do in Winter. It's all in the same (hotel) venue, so I shouldn't be outside in the freezing cold.

Thanks in advance.

would you wear a jumpsuit like this? might be a bit warmer than a dress x

sunshineyweather · 17/12/2019 12:36

Oh maybe! I've never tried a jumpsuit before - always thought that I'd be too short for that (legs too long or waist at wrong level...)

Can I wear black (though sparkly) to a wedding?

i wouldn't have an issue with it because it is sparkly, I wouldn't wear plain black though

I have a very similar dress to this (but longer but then I'm taller) which I'd wear.

Oooh velvet is a nice idea - and warm.

I found this in petite sizes on Boden - green so also festive. But I'm worried the neckline is too high with my sizeable boobs (34F)

The green Boden is gorgeous!

I know high necks and big boobs don't go but I don't let it stop me. (Although the velvet has a v neck.)

A pendant necklace might help visually break up the neckline a bit

I love the green colour! I've ordered it, let's hope it fits and looks as good in person.

I will try some necklaces - a longish one I think
