Wedding outfit woes

[MrsBertBibby]

Help! I am running out of time. Wedding (church) in 2 weeks, very little time to shop left. I need a sure fire hitlist to get sorted in 1 trip, at Bluewater. Where do I go?

52, 5 7, size 16, can't really do heels. Wide hips, short waist, fair sized boobs.

Want to avoid too much leg arm or chest on show (skin is getting tired!)

Help me! Happy in trousers or dress, don't want to spend hundreds but don't need to be budget.

Which shops/labels would you go for? I feel like I've been in pj's for a decade, I don't know what to wear any more. Or where to buy it!

Can't you do some online shopping? How about these?

What colours ?

Oh that crane one is great! The grey is lovely but I know I'll have boob spillage. I can never manage any dignity in wrap styles.

Thank you!

I can't carry pastels, generally, love greens and oranges, but any jewel colour is good.

Phase Eight maxi patterned.

Beautiful navy phase eight dress. I have the black version from a few years ago and always feel elegant in it (size 16).

Phase Eight occasionwear section?

Thank you! I am a guest (aunt). I think even I would have an outfit sorted with only 1 week to go if I were the bride!!

Love the blue and white bombshell but waaaay too much chest out, my poor decolletage has aged horrifically in the last year or so . The other's a bit sexed up for this do, I think.

Not feeling the polka dots, not sure why.

These are really helpful, I think I'm just scared of clothes shopping, it's been so long!

Have a look at the ted baker Wilmer. Your size in stock in the archive section of ted baker online.

The jumpsuits from the company are really flattering. I just wore on to a wedding at the end of august and it was really comfy, and I put my flats on later on to dance! 😃

This covers arms and chest from Phase Eight....

Well that was a complete bust.

No longer a Monsoon at Bluewater, and everywhere was just a mass of leopard print, really crude lurid florals, awful tiered tents that would make me look like a barrage balloon, and drop waists.

I shall be going in jeans at this rate.

I’d try Gina Baconni & order loads of them from John Lewis on click and collect & return them all. They’re not the most funky / modern but they tend to be flattering and make you feel good. I wore a plain red one but there are some nice (imo) floral too.

Just order everything online and try on at home - you can try with your shoes and accessories then too

I’m at a wedding next month, too. I’m 5’8 and a size 16 with G cup boobs. I’m wearing this:

Could you see if John Lewis are doing their personal shopper services still?

Have you thought about Bravissimo? I have a wedding in a few weeks and I ended up with a dress and a jumpsuit (never bought one before but it's so flattering!). Just shoes now which are turning out to be a NIGHTMARE!!!
