blardy awful/

tutter

the shoes ming
the outfit is dubious.

Have I missed a link to the jackeet???

Have to say I'm with cod on teh shoes.

just spotted the jacket. Actually I sort of like the shape but not sure about the fabric... Would you Ever wear it again?

tis a second wedding and not at all formal (registry office plus lovely restaurant in west end)

btw thanks for the kind offer lapin, but the one i'm currently possibly just too big for is a 12

and lk bennett jackets fairly snug iirc

rethink.

I like this Tutter. Do you like?

Could go with any of the shoes.

I quite liked the first pair of shoes too!

Or if you are in the market for gold then this, with black bolero or scarf and shoes?

You might look like a glass of champagne, but that is quite weddingy.

i have seen that 100x yes

in fact tis in my basket

think big print could be good on less-than-ideal body

i do like gold - is a good colour on me

but unfortunately am a 14 right now

I saw the dress and jacket together in the shop window the other day, I thought it look lovely.

i struggle with dresses, esp when not firm of body

it's so easy to do trousers plus tailored jacket plus big hat

looks smart adn - as long as jacket fits well - is flattering

Yes, I know what you mean. Am unclear - do you have the jacket or are we looking for jacket too? [hopeful]

no i don't have the jacket. that too is in the basket. shopping bag i mean

i caused confusion by mentioning i have something similar already (bought for another weddging 1 year + ago) but tis just a little snug

The shoes? Dos. Nicey.

Numero dos for me.

dos

no question

Nobody's asked for my opinion but I'm fascinated by this long debate!

So, my twopenn'orth is STOP!! Black shoes too heavy for those dresses. I can see where you were going with the wide-legged black pants and the shoes but if we've moved on from there (not sure about black trews at a wedding) then i like your poppy dress and the gold one but think you'd be disappointed by the other. It's just jersey, which doesn't have that 'special' look for the price.

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but could you go for one of the dresses, with the jacket you have? And cream, tan or gold shoes? Which would work better with the cream hat.

Is this entirely unhelpful?!!!
