Help! Need confidence boosting dress for attending wedding with ExH!

9 replies

lemontwist · 12/09/2022 12:36

I separated from my husband about 18 months ago and have recently started divorce proceedings.
Things are very up and down with us though we always manage to act amicably when necessary.

I am attending a wedding on Saturday. Its not a question of going or not, I feel I have to for many reasons but ExH will be there plus quite a lot of others whom I haven't seen since the split 😩

I am dreading it but know that I will feel far better if dressed the part.

I am 41 years old, a bit squidgy round the edges! Size 14 on bottom, size 12 on top.
5 ft 7, pale skin, dark hair.

Need suggestions that I could order online and have delivered in a couple of days. Budget £70 is.
Can anyone help?

You’ve left it late!

It’s still warm so how about this? Only 12 and 14 left!

Have a look at Next? They deliver quickly and have loads of styles

These trousers are wonderfully smart and only available now in a 14. Bargain!

You could pair it with this which is only available in a 12 …

I’d order from Next (or John Lewis or M&S if you have click & collect stores near by)

Any preferred colours or styles? How about this?

Thanks for the suggestions! Sorry, posted on my lunch break then got busy.
I'll look in a bit when the kids are in bed.

I know I have left it very late but have had my head in the sand a bit about going. I looked all over my very small local town on Friday and there was just nothing!

This is by far the best suggestion posted, I'm not sure if the other posters were just trying to troll you!
