It's my brother's wedding in three months and everything is hideous

Where on earth can I find a lovely dress or jumpsuit or whatever?

I have a healthy budget, size 10, young 36 and slightly 'alternative' (cringe) taste.

Aibu to ask for help! Please

@streamee - definitely no to @tolerable’s suggestion!

I’d try the LK Bennett one you like and the Jigsaw jumpsuit.

I agree that red and black is not best option for a summer wedding.

I’m going to join this thread, I’m in the same predicament, I have been looking at vinted and eBay but only seem to find sparky satin kind of dresses which I’m not so keen on, I’m curvy so would like something fitted. Any suggestion I will be very grateful, I have seen one dress but not sure I can pull of the sequins

The jumpsuit I posted, with these shoes

Perfect!

Have a look at Virgos Lounge.

Hasselhoffsheadband · 01/04/2022 19:40

I love Esska shoes!

notawittyname1954 · 01/04/2022 19:47

Think the jumpsuit and shoes together would look great

Aitanacama · 01/04/2022 19:58

I like the shoes

Those shoes would go perfectly with the jumpsuit.

I like the other jumpsuit you posted.

But I think for your brother’s wedding the Jigsaw one will make a definite statement and you’ll look amazing!

Love the shoes!

Tempeh and seitan are good and tasty vegan sources of protein, although seitan is gluten based if you are sensitive to that. I love Indian vege food, and the spices are very good for you.

@streamee ...re wtf.. i read "alternative " (cringe) taste n pardon me for being way off the mark. .but- i thought that was.

bouncydog · 02/04/2022 06:41

@Aitanacama - sorry but imho the green dress is too “ look at me” for a wedding. You don’t want to be accused of trying to outdo the bride!

user1471462701 · 02/04/2022 07:29

I love this this designers clothes. She designs the prints herself too rebeccarhoades.com/

Candleabra · 02/04/2022 08:01

Love those shoes, they’d go with anything

LadyEloise1 · 02/04/2022 10:23

You're 36 and a size 10.
You will have no problem finding something fabulous.

Definitely not the Jigsaw one which is bordering on comedy.

I like Nancy Mac style but I’m not wild about the cut of the jumpsuits. If I had to pick one it would be one of the plain green ones.

You wouldn’t be tempted by this:

It would look great with the champagne shoes.

What don't you like about the cut of the jumpsuit?

I think the jigsaw jumpsuit looks like a silk dressing gown. I marginally prefer the brighter green Nancy Mac jumpsuit for a summer wedding - but all of the others are fabulous.

DFOD · 02/04/2022 13:20

The cut of the jumpsuit looks to be exactly the same as the cut of the NM dress posted?

I think the cut of either would be very flattering and elegant - also love the shoes you posted
