I’m attending a wedding in a week but haven’t yet got a dress! I’ve put on lockdown weight so nothing I have fits. I’m an apple shape with big norks and BIG tummy. Size 16 ish. Looking for either a cowl or v neck flattering dress (maybe empire line?).

Have spent hours trawling the net and nothing really inspires. Don’t want to spend more than £100 (less ideally). Would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions or makes I should target? Thank you!

Have you looked at monsoon? I always think they do nice wedding type dresses.

I like this one, though tiny bit over budget.

I’m similar, although more ‘inverted triangle’ I’ve have a couple of nice dancing leopard dress in a 16, I’ve also had some luck with river island recently or the mango Violeta range

I think this would be lovely for a wedding guest - and with the discount code just over £50 so budget left over for bag, hat, shoes etc…it’s in the sale but there are 16’s available

Something like this maybe ? www.johnlewis.com/yumi-plain-kimono-midi-dress/p5437785
Could be dressed up with shoes and bag

dizzyupthegirl86 I love that shape & dress thank you, exactly the sort of thing I’m after. I was looking for more knee length though/day dress.

BadlydoneHelen Your first one is it! THANK YOU! I even looked at John Lewis and didn’t see it. I should have come here first, would have saved me a few hours….

Although just realised the navy 16 is out of stock Angry. I may have to be brave and try a colour for a change!

Glad you liked it- but didn't realise the navy was out of stock! Maybe the khaki with gold sandals?

BadlydoneHelen · 27/06/2021 10:17

The navy is on the Yuma website if you want that colour www.yumi.co.uk/yumi-navy-kimono-sleeve-midi-dress/

BadlydoneHelen I’ve bought it directly from their web site Smile.

waltzingparrot I have seen that one already, couldn’t decide if it was ‘me’ or not but think I’ll order it as a backup!

You’ve all been so helpful, thank you again!

I just need to sort accessories now…. Would a blush pink shawl work? Or gold/silver metallic? Decisions decisions!
