Help needed please. My cousin is getting married at the end of the month and I can't find anything I like. Budget is around £100. I'm curvy (hour glass figure) size 16/14. I'm short (5ft 3) and of olive colouring. I ideally would like dark green or rust as they suit me but open to others. I have awful legs so like knee length dresses. Any ideas please? Thank you!

The OP said she was a 14/16. The vast majority of dress ranges go up to those sizes. The link you posted starts at 14 or 16.

So what's the issue with that @NatashaDancing ?

Why limit the OP's choices? There will be 1000s of other options for a 14/16 so why point her towards a collection of plus sized polyester dresses?

It's not limiting the OP's choices to provide her with...an option.

So they start at the sizes op is. I’m not getting the issue.
I linked because they use normal shaped models, rather than skinny models, so it’s nice to see how the clothes look on someone with some shape. There are also some lovely dresses on there.

I’m going to assume you have some business connection to the company you linked, you seem disproportionately irritated by me posting a different company.

No link at all - but now that you mention it I might well think the same about you. It's very odd when a poster says she's a 14/16 to point her to a site specialising in plus size dresses.

You seem disproportionately annoyed at having that pointed out.

@Honeyandwine there are some dark rust dresses in the Ghost sale/John Lewis

Here are some ideas I found.

I'm not sure what @NatashaDancing 's issue is.
I think the site @Twothousandandjustonemore has linked to is really refreshing. Nice to have both affordable outfits and outfits modelled by people showing what the dresses look like on women that are probably closer in size to the people asking, than most models are. I think it is a very helpful link.

Each to their own but I think they're awful. I'm a size 14, 16 on a bad day. I wouldn't wear any of them.

PoliticallyIncorrectHitchling · 30/07/2023 18:41

Looks awful. I am a size 14 and it will make me look like a tent

Honeyandwine · 30/07/2023 21:41

Thank you all. I appreciate all input. I love that green dress @PoliticallyIncorrectHitchling

I also really like the other sites people have suggested. Thank you for suggesting yours- i used to use it a lot but have lost a lot of weight so am trying to avoid it :-)
