Which dress for upcoming wedding?

117 replies

I’m going to the wedding of a colleague and can’t decide what to wear. I’ve lost 6.5 stone since the last time I went to a wedding and gone from a size 26 to a 16 (still a way to go but I’m getting there!) and I have completely lost the ability to judge what works and what doesn’t. Argh.

Please be honest but gentle, I am still adjusting to my new (wobbly!) body! The wedding will be fairly relaxed and is in one of those pretty outdoor marquee type venues.

P.S. Ignore the fact that my hair desperately needs to be cut and coloured, that’s happening this week!

Dark floral!!

Swishhh · 15/05/2023 20:41

I like the pink one with different accessories but they all look totally wearable.

Congratulations on your weight loss

LizzieSiddal · 15/05/2023 20:42

The dark floral looks amazing.

Congrats on your weight lose!

Blue, but with the tan shoes. The dark floral is nice but looks like something you'd wear to the office IMO - too dark and work-like for a summer wedding.

They all look lovely on you. I prefer the pink dress x

Thank you everyone!

The pink has purple spots and the blue has a black floral design. I’m not set on the shoes, I just didn’t want to invest in new ones before I’d chosen a dress so just went for what matched best from my wardrobe for trying them on. Suggestions very welcome, though I have a very high arch so my options can be limited.

Bottom right. Congratulations on your weight loss.

ladygindiva · 15/05/2023 20:43

They actually all look good. Congratulations and well done on your weight loss btw.

Newmum110 · 15/05/2023 20:44

You look fab in them all but the pink is my favourite, looks a little bit dressier imo.

SomethingNastyInTheGenePool · 15/05/2023 20:45

The dark floral looks best, followed by the pink. You look gorgeous in all three, though!

lemonyellows · 15/05/2023 20:47

Floral with the tan sandals. Definitely the best

I like the floral, followed by the pink and the blue last. You look great in all of them though - you have lovely figure. I prefer the tan sandals to the black.

Agree with all of this. You look fab!

movinginaminute · 15/05/2023 20:50

A vote for the blue here but they all look lovely so whichever you prefer is the best!

NoNameIdeas · 15/05/2023 20:52

You look great in all of them! Well done for your weight loss too. Where is the dark floral dress from? It's gorgeous!

Paq · 15/05/2023 20:52

They are all lovely and you look great. Congratulations!

And thank you for the weight loss congratulations, I really appreciate it. It’s such a weird thing, I don’t feel like I look any different so all I see when I look at myself is my weight. Makes it very hard to judge stuff like this!

Can I ask you where the floral dress is from please? I really like it & it suits you so well

If anyone has any shoe suggestions for any of the dresses I’d be very grateful! I think the green I’d go for pink shoes but not sure what to do for the other two?

Oh and the floral dress (the green one) is from Sugar Hill.

The floral is my favourite (not sure about the tan shoes though), then the pink. I’m not keen on the blue with black shoes.

buonnatale · 15/05/2023 21:05

They all look lovely but I vote the green floral one. Also thought your hair looks fab! Blush
