HELP need a dress for tomorrow

14 replies

febbabies2023 · 14/07/2023 20:17

I have a wedding to go to tomorrow evening

I bought a dress along with other purchases a few weeks ago but didn't try it on properly because it has a back zipper

Tried it on tonight and IT DOES NOT FIT.

So I need to get one tomorrow because none of my nice clothes fit 🙃

Important info for style I guess!
Age - 28
Height 5'2
Brown hair
I will have a fake tan so colour shouldn't be an issue

I'm quite 'plain' in style I guess but willing to try anything
Must be able to do click and collect or check if they have them in my local stores

Links please 🫣

I should have added - I'm a size 10
I've had 2 kids (3yrs and 4m old) so my middle is the bit I hate the most

Love a ruched dress to hide the mumtum

Borrow off a friend, Tesco F&F or Sainsbury Tu if desperate and nothing else nearby

@HappiDaze none of my friends are the same size as me annoyingly!
Also I live in a village so a supermarket is the same distance as the main town where there are lots more shops to choose from. The supermarkets that sell clothes anyway

Is there a Quiz near you. I'm also 5ft 2 (but u fortunately not a size 10). Anytime I venture in there, there are always a few dresses that are ok (not amazing but decent enough).

They currently have quite a few dresses that would be suitable and are midi length so will work for your height.

They also had a nice blue stripe jumpsuit ...

Thank you all!

@MimiArm yes I do have a quiz near me! Which I completely forgot about. Ironic given that most of my evening dresses have come from there! (Which I've sadly got rid of as they were all a 6/8 from pre baby days)

I'll have a look today I'm sure I'll be able to find something in there

Thank you for all the links and suggestions. Wish me luck on the hunt!

Dress panic over

Went for this one! Tried on a fair few including a couple of the ones linked here which are beautiful but the length just wasn't right for someone of my height

Hair yet to be done but I think it looks okay!

Thanks for your help :)
