C’mon I couldn’t leave it like that. I was starting to very much enjoy the derailment….

Wow @milkyaqua Shock I don’t actually know what to say. Keg shaped ?! That’s hilarious. Ok

Checking back in. Came for the dresses and stayed for the cat. 🐈‍⬛
I loved the dress from the start, I actually gasped when I saw it (good gasp), I'm gutted it didn't work out.

@MusicByTheLake and also … yet here YOU are.

I wish I hadn’t posted about that particular frock. The rest of it had been entertaining and I was enjoying the mad derailment from the frock…

Would you like something like this? It has multi coloured feathery fringes.

@milkyaqua I do NoT take good selfies. I can rubbish at them. I have a natural ‘fuck off face’. I was prob just pissed off the frock didn’t fit. Plus it’s weirdly unnatural to force a smilein a photo you’re taking of yourself . I did try it. I looked crazy

That's lovely PickAndChooseMe.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 13/02/2022 11:09

I think one that shows more/all of your shoulders would look fabulous with your tats. Agree that a low neckline will be more flattering. If you can do a halter neck bra-wise it would look lovely.

NotAnotherUserNumber · 13/02/2022 12:14

@PickAndChooseMe That Roksanda dress is amazing! Although it might be too expensive as it’s in different price band.

@Kenworthington What is your budget?

NotAnotherUserNumber · 13/02/2022 12:20

I can’t believe how mean some people are being over a dress!

@Kenworthington not that you should care what I think, but I thought the needle and thread dress really suited you and it is a shame is doesn’t fit.

If the next size up is also too small, then I am wondering if you should try some of the other needle and thread designs to see if they are more generously sized or shaped to fit differently.

[quote Kenworthington]Holy hell I LOVE this LOVE LOVE LOVE. Perhaps with some kind of long thing over it or a big oversized blazer????

Thats amazing! I bloody love that dress. Wish I had something to go to so I could wear that.

NotAnotherUserNumber · 13/02/2022 12:36

more options from the OUTNET that I could imagine you in from your photo (let me know if I am on completely the wrong track and I will stop posting suggestions).

@NotAnotherUserNumber I’m not sure of budget. Under 1K def and pref nearer to 500 because I still need to get shoes and bag possibly though potentially have options already

OP posts:
Kenworthington · 13/02/2022 12:42

I def don’t want a proper full on pattern or bright colour. It’s just not ‘me’

We are already paying for the actual wedding !

Fuck me. The price of this!!!

Kenworthington · 13/02/2022 12:56

In daily life I wear Alot cos and H&M mixed in with some ‘boutique’ things. I like massively oversized coats and dresses. And comfy possibly fugly footwear. I am a fan of Birkenstocks and socks. In the summer I wear similar shapes but more bohemian/hippy style/colours/muted prints. I like a basket bag or a clutch. I like big clumpy sandals (o have two pairs of really cool Kurt Geiger ones from last summer/ one in tweed and one in quilted denim), My Best Buy’s have been my Louis Vuitton neverful which I use all the time and my Gucci horse bit bag (which I use for nights out and when I don’t have to carry loads of crap around) so I am a fan of modern classics I guess with a bit of a twist.

Loved the dress but the neckline was too high for you.

This would look amazing with your tattoos.

I’m sure the bride won’t mind 😂
