Which dress for upcoming wedding?

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!

Look at you with the waistline!!
Fantastic.. be proud girl!!!

I like the dark floral one best.

itsmylife7 · 15/05/2023 21:12

Another vote for the green floral one .

spidereggs · 15/05/2023 21:14

Amazing, well done, I love them all but the florals one wins for me

PlacidPenelope · 15/05/2023 21:17

The dark floral one is the most flattering, you look amazing in it.

The other two don't do you justice at all in my opinion.

pizzaHeart · 15/05/2023 21:22

I voted for the floral one but with your update that pink’s with purple spots not black I would say that pink is equally good. So I would look at other factors e.g accessories, shoes etc and would chose considering them as well.

MumUndone · 15/05/2023 21:32

Definitely dark floral but they all look lovely.

tomorrownevercomesagain · 15/05/2023 21:35

The blue is a bit frumpy I think. The dark floral is more sexy but also classy at the same time .

Vitriolinsanity · 15/05/2023 21:38

If you came to my wedding in the pink I'd think wowsers!

Vitriolinsanity · 15/05/2023 21:39

In a good way!

Pinkjacket22 · 15/05/2023 21:39

I like the 3rd one, you look stunning

TwistAgain · 15/05/2023 21:44

These are all lovely and super flattering.

I love the black floral but I think that’s because black isy go to colour for all clothes. Any you pick will be equally glamorous

fryingpaneer · 15/05/2023 21:47

They're all lovely but I think the blue is beautiful. Disagree completely that it's frumpy.

I'd go with the brown sandals too. Or depending on if you're taking a jacket (and what colour) some strappy black heels?

NatashaDancing · 15/05/2023 21:49

The dark floral

Hotcuppatea · 15/05/2023 21:50

You look bloody lovely in all of them. Honest. Enjoy the party 🥳

peachgreen · 15/05/2023 22:11

You are all so nice, I’m doing a bit of a cry!

Blue one! Congrats on the weight loss

WhereTheWildFlowersAre · 15/05/2023 22:41

You look lovely in all but my favourite one is the last one, the floral one. Let us know which one you choseSmile

Smartiepants79 · 15/05/2023 22:44

2 or 3. You look lovely. Think the pink is my personal favourite.

notawittyname1954 · 15/05/2023 22:44

You look lovely in all of them. Congratulations on the weight loss. I hope you are going to keep all of the dresses regardless which one you wear because they all look great. I honestly couldn't choose between them. The pink one maybe because it is fun for that sort of wedding. Have a great time.

Verite1 · 15/05/2023 23:00

To be honest I think they all look fantastic. I think floral is slightly more flattering as it seems to nip your waist in a bit, but there is hardly anything in it. So I would wear whichever one makes you smile when you put it on.

Hopeishere52 · 15/05/2023 23:38

You look really lovely in all of them, but my favourite is the floral. You have a fab figure. Well done on the weight loss

afinethingindeed · 16/05/2023 06:41

All look good but the floral is my favourite 😊
Well done on the weight loss!

BanditsOnTheHorizon · 16/05/2023 07:04

The last two for me

Franticbutterfly · 16/05/2023 07:10

The third one.

SquarePegInRoundHole · 16/05/2023 07:19

Another vote for the third dress (dark one with brown sandals).

Another vote too for the fact that you look brilliant! The dresses really suit you and if that's your hair before a cut and colour then I'm extremely jealous!
