Which one stylish mumnetters? (If any..)

[Dressmebaby]

Hello :)

I am going to a wedding at the end of the month and I am rubbish at dressing myself. I have dresses I like but I don't know if they actually suit me. My figure is slim/athletic, small breasts (would prefer to wear a bra as post breastfeeding has left them a little worse for wear). Can you lovely ladies help me please.

I have three dresses I am considering but also open to something completely different if anyone has any suggestions. Budget up to £100.

Please let me know what you think :)

Thanks in advance

And another one

They all,look good but I prefer the one with sleeves

The sleeved one - lovely.

I prefer the one with sleeves too. The second one with the shoestring straps is very skimpy at the sides - not sure that's really wedding appropriate but I also can't see how you could wear a bra with it either unless you're happy for bra to show.

Sleeved one or the last one both look lovely.
Have a great time ☺️

Thanks for all your replies :) Yeah I definitely couldn't wear a bra with the strappy one.

I am thinking the sleeve one too. Wasn't sure if it was a bit too mumsy though? Although I am a mum so y'know.

Anyone got a curve ball to throw out there though? Or a suggestion for the type of dress that would suit me? I am a bit of a tomboy so this dressing up does not come naturally to me.

I think you've got a great figure, and if you're a bit tomboyish, maybe a jumpsuit like this would work for you? (elegant still, can wear a bra, and actually quite practical)

Disclaimer: MN loves a jumpsuit whereas I think they're a bit dated and past their best but I think the one above looks lovely and could be mistaken for a dress at a quick glance. It comes in other colours/prints too.

@Dressmebaby I like the third one best, I think you look a bit drowned in the first one & the second is more nice summers day with a tiny t shirt underneath (unless you don't mind boob flashing!)

You have a lovely figure, there so much you could wear, I'm envious! I think you'd look fab in some vintage style or more tailored dresses (collar & buttons, straight).

just make sure you're comfortable!

The third one. It's the most dressed up of the 3. The other 2 are ordinary day dresses.

They’re all quite casual and with your figure you could do much better

I like the sleeved one , the fact that you're very slim and the choice of shoes stops it looking mumsy. It would look mumsy on me because I'm chunky and can't wear heels 🤣

Is the sleeved one the first one? It's maybe the lighting but it's a bit drab and washed out.

Sleeved one with a plunge bra (push up if that would make you feel better). Love the shoes!

The sleeved one is the best and looks nice. Is the base colour black? If so then it would be nicer to wear a more celebratory colour for a wedding.

Would you like something new?

@HundredMilesAnHour Thank you for the suggestion, I don't think I like it though, the pink is definitely not me 😅 the red floral is okay though.

@VinEtFromage Would you mind giving me an example of what you mean?

@NatashaDancing @HermioneWeasley That is what I'm thinking too, they just seem a bit meh. I think I have a decent figure, I've just never known how to dress to flatter it properly. I live in leggings or hippy trousers and strap tops!

@ladygindiva I am wearing a push up bra!!! They were small to begin with now they are small and deflated 😞

@Whataretheodds yeah the base colour is black. I think i would like something new. I will be meeting lots of my husbands colleges for the first time and I want to look good. Nothing too sexy or showy but elegant and nice :)

ooh tagged the wrong lady

@Ladyoftheknight I am wearing a push up bra!!! They were small to begin with now they are small and deflated 😞 Thank you I do love the shoes too

So UK wedding end August - what type of venue? What's the dress code?

@Whataretheodds Its in a castle!!! But no dress code has been mentioned, the couple are pretty chilled/hippy types though

Pinching this from another thread. This is a great dress. Good material, lined and not like anything else on the high street.

Cos

I think a different shape might look nice on you. Something a bit more covered up on top but shorter. This sort of thing

@NatashaDancing I can't imagine wearing something like that, it seems too stylish for me, I don't think I could pull it off. Thank you though :)

@narniabusiness I like it but perhaps a bit short for a wedding? Thanks for your suggestion too

I think halterneck, waist-fitted dresses suit an athletic figure - I.e all the dresses I wish I could wear but wouldn’t suit! What about these on Next, from Lipsy?

The sleeved one definitely

I agree with @mnahmnah . The dress @NatashaDancing posted is great if that's your colour - what colours suit you best?
