Hi, I'm looking for suggestions please on style or types of clothing to wear to a wedding in just over two weeks. Outfit ideas would be amazing too.

I know I've left it late but I've put on a considerable amount of weight and my body has changed shape so I've been putting it off.

I'm roughly 5'9 and a size 14 (I've just bought a pair of next size 12 jeans) on my bottom half and more like a 16 on my top. My boobs are huge and I need to wear a supportive bra so no thin straps. Ideally I'd like sleaves as I'm conscious of my arms. My body is not toned at all.

The wedding is quite posh and I'm going to the day and evening. Normally I'd wear a fitted dress but I'm just not confident to do that.

Any suggestions please would be really welcomed.

Take a look at Nancy Mac - lots of flattering styles, with sleeves, that skin rather than being too fitted/clingy.

I love this one:

What about this? It looks flattering and could go day to night with the right shoes?

Pretty Kitty has loads of lovely, very flattering dresses.

Or this? It's very understated, so I think it would hold up to any "posh" standard.

I am going to wear this jumpsuit to a wedding in July. Not sure if it's right or wrong but I am comfortable and happy in it.

And another wedding one, please suggest outfits. I'm stumped.

I really like that. I'm going shopping over the bank holiday so may try a few jumpsuits. Thank you for posting.
