what do fat people wear to weddings?

[peskipixie]

friends wedding in a couple of weeks, dont want to spend too much (£40ish?). roughly size 22, biggest problem is saggy post section belly. also have huge hips and need easily accessible norks.

grateful for anyone bravce enough to try to make a silk purse form a sows ear

I love that one PP!

Maybe a pashmina?

Cod & MrsB are usually good at this type of thing

They found me my bikini before me holidays!

how about this with some nice black trousers and high heels?

or this one would be good

Actually I would go for that top CD has linked to... with black/dark grey trousers & some really lovely accessories.

Nice heels.... bag... you would look fab!

I am a 14/16 & wore a strapless dress to my sisters wedding last year. I felt as if I was bare all day... but that may have been because I never usually wear anything dressy!

clothes usually go down well

honestly though dont be on such a downer about yourself.

i like this but its perhaps a bit over budget

wow look at those sleeves - the purple pic

nice belt too

like the long one cd, thats def in the running. other one is a bit short i need to be covered! but i do like the pattern and neckline.

i love the purple big sleeve dress!

only problem i have with long dresses is that im 5'9 and most are designed for shorter women so i end uplooking stupid

Peski, I am a size 18-20 and think Simply Be stuff is great quality I got this dress recently have had loads of nice compliments asking where I got it from -simplybeuk.drct2u.com/productcache/DAL/BO5460/AB807JR.html.gz also I got some magic knickers off ebay for about £8.00 which suck you in from all angles and give a nice smoothness under your dress as I too have a jelly 'c sect' belly which needs a helping hand as breathing in doesnt work for me nowadays lol, Good Luck!

I'm bigger than you but adore clothes and never let my size stop me looking good. Recently wore to a wedding a fab very floaty wrap style dress from Simply Be with black floaty trousers and heels, great jewellery and bag. Sorry can't do links.

is it acceptable to wear a long dress to a wedding? dont want to be too dressed up incase i offend the bride!

This one?

Really like this one

ooh I like that np - but grey not my colour and getting too old to flash my upper arms...

Dark brown

if you are ok with 2nd hand how about Ann Harvey on ebay like this

This is unusual

With brown trousers and HEELS

Brown quite slimming and Not Black

peski, the one you linked to is very similar to the one I had in mind. If you could find a sheer cardi to go over it I think it would look great.

these are all fab suggestions, thank you ladies. i am feeling a bit more confident that i might look ok now

i know its a bit old lady ish ,but try bon marche. i have a couple of bits from there, their sizing is generous and you might find a top or dress in there which is well under budget!! its really cheap but well made.

Was about to advise but it's a zombie!!!!!!

I'm a 16/18 (although currently 3rd time preggo so whale like) and I always wear a gorgeous maxi, sanders, and a pashmina or a jacket for weddings etc. Invest in real Spanx and a decent bra and have your hair blow dryed. You'll look beAut x

Have a look at Boden for a maxi dress.
