Honest opinions needed on my bridesmaid dress- but be nice please.

OK, I am chief bridesmaid for best friend at big castle wedding in June. Her dress is big and fabulous. The other bridesmaid is approaching 6 foot and is less curvy than I. I am 5 foot 5 with tits and an arse. This is the dress that the other bridesmaid and bride prefer. The bride would never let me wear something I hated but time is of the essence and it is not easy to get together again and re-choose. I have a habit of being petulant and rebelling if I haven't made the choice myself and may be doing that in this instance like a sulky teenager. The dress pictured is a Dessy one (no 2043) and is sampled in blue, but the actual dress will be in chocolate brown. Do I look as horrendous in it as I do in my own head? Obviously it needs altering, but I think my hips look huge!! and yes, I have my magic knickers on already, but I don't think I was wearing heels. Pics on profile.

Have looked at the link and doesn't look good.

(did notice you could change the colour it is in on there)

cadelaide · 29/01/2008 12:33

Certainly not hideous, looks nice but not fab I'd say.
Oh, and you're not at all big and your children are beauties, btw!

suwoo · 29/01/2008 12:33

Jeez! When you said you had tits and arse, I thought you REALLY had tits and arse. You're a skinny minny!!!

The dress looks good on you. Honestly. Although the blue probably suits you better than the brown would.

suwoo · 29/01/2008 12:34

I really want to know what you think I look like in the dress, not the actual dress and yes I know I can make it brown on the Dessy website. In a nutshell do I look a twat?

ThePettyandIllinformedGoat · 29/01/2008 12:34

not the most beautiful dress but you are not the way you described yourself and you have nice shoulders to balance everything out. i am with mrs badger on the stretch satin horror.
