Help! I need a dress! For a wedding (eveningy thing rather than pretty pretty) but to wear beforehand at a poshish dinner!

[alittlebitshy]

Well...
We have a wedding (Dec 1st). It's a 4pm service so an evening meal. Men to wear dj or lounge suit and women should wear the equivalent (eh?).

I am 5ft2, so not v tall . I'm size 14 these days and my tummy is deffo not flat....... and i'm not overly keen on sleeveless (birth mark on arm, plus they just look flabby).

What would you suggest?

Not looking to spend loads.

The week before we're going to a formal at my dh's old Oxfprd college (a friend works there and has invited us) so i wondered if this dress could double up?!

Anyone with any ideas?

heeeelp.

thanks.

You sound v. similar to me ALBS ! Would you wear black for the wedding thing ? If so, something like this ?

Agree with cod, a velvet coat over top would be lovely - esp. if in a colour.

Legs - are you up to wearing heels ? They make short stumpy (I'm talking about me here !) legs look better.

Is it a church service or civil as I think civil you can wear dressy rather than formal.

In think its lovely - would hide all the bits that were required to be hidden. Think heels defo (just go as high as you can !)

is a church service - but it's in the chapel of the castle (ooh, dead posh i think) where the reception is.

ooooh.......... excited now! was dreading it but looks more manageable.

cod, what exactly is teal... i get confused with colours?

would that be ok to borrow it if it all looks ok with whatever i end up with?
