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!

Just saw your update, you look great OP. Blazer works well with the dress. Have fun at the wedding!

2nd dress caught my eye

@peachgreen you look great! May I ask where the pink blazer is from?

fireflyloo · 22/05/2023 14:10

Gorgeous and I love the jacket

peachgreen · 22/05/2023 14:20

Thank you everyone! I know you all said no ankle strap but honestly, I hunted high and low for a suitable option and there just were none. I have a very high arch so find it very hard to get shoes!

The pink blazer was from TKMaxx @Moviecampingnight! It was the only one they had and in my exact size, like fate!

Thank you all for your help and kind words, you are the best.

You look lovely

You really look lovely in all of them.
Shape wise the dark green floral dress makes your waist most defined. So I would go with that.
Can I suggest shoes without an ankle strap?
That way you get a longer look for legs, rather than cutting them at the ankle.
Huge congrats for your weight loss and hope you enjoy the wedding

Sorry didn't read the whole thread re ankle straps

RuthTopp · 22/05/2023 18:57

You looked lovely. You have gorgeous eyes.

Giselletheunicorn · 22/05/2023 18:58

In order of preference:

Floral
Blue
Pink.

Massive congrats on your weight loss! You must feel amazing!

Malbecmoron · 22/05/2023 18:59

Lovely, you looked amazing

Banjaxx · 22/05/2023 19:05

THE PINK!!!! (Ignore everyone else they’re all wrong 😂 the pink is gorgeous on you and the most joyful / weddingy)

sheepnuts · 22/05/2023 19:41

Absolutely gorgeous. Hope you had an amazing time.

LadyEloise1 · 22/05/2023 19:45

Apologies re ankle straps. I hadn't realised the thread started on the 15th May and you had already posted a photo of you at the event.
I'm mortified.
I wouldn't want to hurt your feelings @peachgreen

peachgreen · 22/05/2023 20:51

Don’t worry @LadyEloise1! I totally got where everyone was coming from but literally could not find a single option without ankle straps in two full days of shopping and a £740 online order (all of which went back!).

Great choice. Bet everyone thought you looked absolutely gorgeous!

Perfect shoes and blazer! Well shopped!
