Need to look fabulous for a wedding!

[Daisypod]

So I have left it very late as I was convinced the wedding would be cancelled but seems to be going ahead on 3rd Jan so need a dress.
I always look a bit scruffy and either frumpy or slutty when I try to dress nice and I really don't want that this time.
If you were a tall size 20 with a round tummy but wanted to look glamorous what would you wear? No jumpsuits as I can't bear the thought of stripping off to go to the loo 😂
Mumsnet I am in your hands!

Are they not a bit dark for a wedding?
The bridesmaid is wearing a gold lamee (so?) jumpsuit so it's a very glamorous wedding

These are pretty wedding guest dresses - not slutty or too grandma and affordable for time of year?

Add a hat www.etsy.com/uk/listing/693868431/hestia-navy-fuchsia-gold

And some gold heels & clutch and you're suitably glamorous and festive for the occasion

Slutty?

I wore this to a wedding recently and loved it www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/ET853/product/details/show.action

But this might fit your event better www.simplybe.co.uk/shop/LL352/product/details/show.action

Not sure if the link will work but I got this lovely dress from Next - it's by myleen class. It's comfy to wear and very flattering (in my humble opinion!) And would look lovely dressed up with a pair of heels.

I really recommend having a personal shopping session at John Lewis if you’re near one. I went with my sister when she needed an outfit for a wedding and they were fabulous. She ended up with something she’d never have picked herself.

I love this. Very flattering style. Glam up even more with gold accessories

I love that batwing dress 🤩 @Alvinne

Another vote for the silver batwing dress. Glam and flattering.

I’d suggest you keep an eye on Reformation. They’re a bit low on stock at the moment but do usually have a very good selection of size 20 (and bigger and smaller) dresses. Their velvet clothes are particularly lovely.

This is gorgeous, I have a very similar cut dress from Monsoon and it hides lumps and bumps nicely. I bought it when I was about your size and every one comments on how nice I look in it

I vote for thr silver batwing dress.

Do not add a hat. Have your hair blow dried instead and wear big statement earrings

I love that silvery batwing dress - it would look super on a tall woman.

What shoes would suit it, other than strappy sandals?

I agree, but I think you could get away with ankle boots with it

Absolutely not for a wedding! Especially a glamorous one.

I'm the same size but a bit shorter and bought this recently and was really pleased with it

Thanks everyone some nice idea here but not keen on the batwing I'm afraid, I've had dresses that shape before and they make me look even more huge! I like the monsoon one.
A lot still seem a bit not glam enough, sorry I hate being my size as I know I'm limited.

@BlairWaldorfLovesShopping

Slutty?

I thought that was a bizarre choice of words, too.

Sorry I couldn't think of any other way of putting it I went to one wedding where I was in such a rush I took a lot of dresses I had brought and had delivered but not tried on, I had also taken a dress borrowed from a friend. None of the brought dresses fitted and although I am the same size clothes as my friend I am a bit bigger on top and my boobs almost fell out of it several times at the wedding!
