Plus size wedding guest

12 replies

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 13/10/2022 10:11

Hi. Im trying to find my sister an outfit for a wedding at the end of the month.
she’s a busty U.K. 22 although with sizing she can be anything from an 18 to a 24. Usually a 22 though.
She’s a guest all day and so needs to be comfortable. She has shoes. Black small heel strappy with sparkles on the strap.

so far she likes this with a black jacket

or this one

if anyone has seen anything better that would suit her. She’s 5’8 with boobs bigger than tummy. I’m sure there’s something better out there within her budget of about £50-£70

we’ve already scoured eBay and Vinted etc.

I think that Next one is really nice.

Not sure about the pink one - plain satin always runs the risk of looking like a dressing gown on real people rather than the model. And I’m always worried about spilling things on myself as it would show really badly.

Sorry - but I don't like the "Yours" pink one either.
My first reaction was that I too feel it looks like a dressing gown.
But the Next one, imo, looks lovely!

Next looks classy

The pink one looks like a dressing gown !

The Next one is lovely.

I hate the shiny look of the pink one

Topseyt123 · 13/10/2022 12:24

I prefer the Next one. The pink thing from Yours is too like a nightdress or dressing gown.

Try other places like Simply Be?

I know people on here don't like it but shein have a fab plus size range and some really nice wedding guest dresses

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 13/10/2022 15:08

Thank you. We’ll cross the pink one off the list then 😀

will take a look at the link with her. I don’t think we have enough time to order from shein as less than two weeks now.

this was after a failed shopping trip to london. Lots of choice but no sizes in stock. Same with shoes. Lots of shoes but no sizes in stock. I’m on the hunt for shoes. Have my outfit but not shoes.

If she's particularly busty, Yours wrap dresses seem to be cut for Pear shapes. I've never got on with their wrap dresses, they don't even cross over on me!

anonbelle · 16/10/2022 02:23

Pink one wouldn't be flattering. Dress no. 2 was nice though.

HollywoodTease · 16/10/2022 02:46

Yours is one of my fave places to shop, and they have so much that's nicer than that pink thing.

I'm short (5'1), busty (hh cup) and a 16/18 bottom with 20/22 top.

This is my go-to for weddings and similar

I team it with a black cardi and black or black/red Mary Jane shoes usually, although I've also worn knee high chunky boots.
