Catch2222 · 11/09/2023 22:11

We have just received a very unexpected full day wedding invitation for the daughter of my husbands business associate.

This will be in a very posh castle setting and have a societal feel about it.

I need plus size wedding recommendations. It's in November. I was thinking Navy???

Please spam me with ideas xxxx (size 20)

What sort of length?
what sort of budget?
Dress or dress and jacket?

Catch2222 · 11/09/2023 22:23

Budget 200-300 max.
Probably mid calf length I'm an apple shape if that helps.

Something from The Reformation? (Search Extended size.)

What has happened to Rixo lately? It used to produce a good choice of perfectly nice dresses - now it’s just a sea of shiny droopiness.

This one is just about the best, and it’s silk:

This one looks lovely but is viscose rather than silk:

God designers are so lazy with the plus size market…. It’s all butterfly sleeves. Most of what I’ve found is full length and I don’t know about that for a wedding. I’d feel weird myself but the last wedding I went to was my brothers 18 months ago and I wore a very nice red velvet dress I found in a charity shop but didn’t feel like myself at all.

Ive posted some screenshots… I like the red one myself. I’ve also snuck a forest green one in because searching around one colour can be a bit restrictive.

Actually I really love that forest green from coast and would probably get it taken up a couple of inches if full length was OTT.

Have a look at Scarlett and Jo - they are great for occasion dresses for plus size women.

Eg:

I have a couple of Scarlett & Jo dresses and do have one in navy which is very flattering but when I look at the site now it’s slim pickings. It used to have a much broader range of styles… now it’s a lot of the same style in different garish prints.

I have my eye on this dress for a New Year wedding www.nancymac.co.uk/collections/seasonal-outfit-inspiration/products/lana-dress-in-garnet-silk-velvet. I like their jumpsuits as well.

Catch2222 · 12/09/2023 12:23

Oh my! I'm so pleased I asked you all!

I love the scarlet and co one. Thank you all so very much.
