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!

Well I think you should keep all 3 dresses! You look amazing.
The last one gets my vote

MyDogStoodOnABee · 16/05/2023 07:55

Floral but with different shoes. The other two cut across your midriff with a weird waist placement.

nopeasplease · 16/05/2023 09:01

Pink definitely, it looks so good! But with the tan shoes x

SPSN · 16/05/2023 10:54

The pink looks lovely on you 🤩

Epicstorm · 16/05/2023 11:13

I like the pink and then the blue but not with black shoes. You need a lighter colour.

Well done on your weight loss. You should be really proud.

Nearamir · 16/05/2023 11:55

Dark floral with the ten sandals by a square mile. It is the nicest shape, suits your colouring and makes your figure look amazing!

Robotik · 16/05/2023 12:00

Pink floral with tan sandals. Well done on the weight loss x

Gonegrey31 · 16/05/2023 12:00

I love the blue ! You look fabulous!

delilabell · 16/05/2023 12:45

I love the floral one. Congratulations on your weight loss ♥️

Blip · 16/05/2023 22:40

The blue one is the loveliest OP

UndercoverCop · 16/05/2023 22:48

Definitely the third, the floral one, really suits you. I'm off to the sugarhill website, I've got a relatively relaxed wedding this summer and I love that dress!

You look great in all of them though, so up to you and well done I know that kind of weight loss is bloody hard work

peachgreen · 22/05/2023 10:11

Thank you all so much for your help! I went for the green floral dress in the end as that was the consensus! Haven't seen the proper photos yet but I took a sneaky mirror shot for you all!

You look absolutely lovely!

PlacidPenelope · 22/05/2023 10:33

You look fabulous @peachgreen .

greyhairnomore · 22/05/2023 10:37

Blue is nice , with the brown sandals ?

greyhairnomore · 22/05/2023 10:39

Sorry , didn't read that you'd already been. You looked fabulous, good choice.

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 this. Floral dress looks awesome. I’d go for jazzier footwear though (and defo not black) - those tan sandals are fine if you have nothing else, but some more party-like would be my choice.

Purplecatshopaholic · 22/05/2023 10:41

Oops, I too didn’t realise you had already been. Great dress choice

DisforDarkChocolate · 22/05/2023 11:00

All very good but the one with the dark background is my favourite by far. Then blue, then pink.

You look fabulous and I bet you feel so much better.

ladygindiva · 22/05/2023 13:17

Wow, you look incredible! Love the pink blazer, really suits you and works with the dress!

Lovemebetter · 22/05/2023 13:19

You look really lovely!

MissLucyEyelesbarrow · 22/05/2023 13:45

Top work, OP. That shade of pink is perfect on you.

LadyEloise1 · 22/05/2023 13:51

The blue suits your colouring. The pink doesn't imho.
Ankle strap shoes shorten your legs and can make ankles look chunkier than they are. Closed toe and no ankle strap will lengthen and slim your legs.
Congratulations on your determination and success in losing the weight. Awesome 💐

PuffinMcStuffin · 15/05/2023 20:31

Blue but with the tan shoes

I agree!

BBNoM · 22/05/2023 14:00

Well done on your weight loss, that's impressive!

My fav is the dark one
