I need help finding an amazing plus size dress!

I’ve had several threads on here asking for help finding a bridesmaids dress, I also have a thread in _chat about not wanting to be a bridesmaid...spoken to the friend and I’m now no longer a bridesmaid! I now need a dress that will make me feel really good.

I’m a size 20/22, pretty flabby after losing weight Grin, weight is mainly in my tummy, I can’t wear heels (can wear a kitten but I hate them, could wear a low wedge), I love forest green and think it really suits me so that’s the preferable colour but I’m open to blues and burgundy’s, needs sleeves or at least something to cover the tops of my arms, wedding is in May.

I love this one and will order it (although annoyingly it used to come in forest green!!) but would love other ideas as I’m not sure about the shape

IHOPEYOU. Just seen your comment re: Zoe Vine. I didn’t explain myself very well in my post. What I mean is that the dresses come up large because of the stretch. I wear a 10 whereas in other brands I would be at least a 12/14 because of my boobs.

If you like that dress style and colour, I’d recommend trying it in a few sizes, you can always return!

This is great inspiration, I'm going to be a size 20/22 bridesmaid so hopefully some of these might have something for me ☺
Ok some of these are gorgeous

Well so far not a dress for the wedding! I should probably get on that ASAP before I bankrupt myself on other stuff Grin

Scarlett and Jo dresses are amazing, although their website seems to be down.

Anoisagusaris · 07/03/2020 22:14

I think velvet is incredibly warm to wear - I wouldn’t mind the dress not being a ‘summer’ dress but you just might be roasting in it.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 08/03/2020 11:00

Thank you!

That Ralph Lauren one is gorgeous!

Scarlett and Jo site hasn’t worked in days! So annoying!

It’s a May wedding and I reckon London in. May Could easily be cold enough for velvet Grin but I take your point!
