Odd wedding guest dress help (plus size)

Hello all!

I'm attending a wedding in August and it has a frog theme - I'm wearing the shoes below but struggling to find a dress.

Was wondering if some lovely mumsnetters could help - I'm wearing the shoes below as a statement piece and to go with the frog theme.

I know this is a weird request Grin

I'm also plus size so fat friendly brands please.

Thank you

Thank you for all the suggestions everyone.

I'm really not a stylish person haha but would these look nice with the shoes? I'm just thinking with it being a summer wedding, it might be a bit warm but also could wear it again but not sure if wedding appropriate?

Looking over the other posts, buy a lovely plain dress that you feel comfortable in and then accessorise .. shoes (obvs), then any hat/fascinator/pretty necklace/earrings/shawl, etc, not all at the same time! It sounds a riot and I'm sure you'll look fab!!

I'd go with something like this that I could wear again.

Although in my head I'm thinking something blue with water lilies on, just haven't found anything in real life.

Bookmarking for a good rummage through the plus size wedding guest dresses after pay day 😊

Have a look at Bombshell dresses.

I really think you need that lilly pad fascinator PP posted. It's beautiful!

veggie50 · 24/02/2024 22:41

I'd probably pair the shoes with a plain red / pink / green occasion dress so you can wear it again in the future. Just accessorise with a frog brooch / earrings / hair pin to echo the theme. Coast has a lot of wedding guest type dresses in plus sizes, do have a look. Love your shoes btw!

Something like this from Coast.

Really lovely dress!

CrikeyMajikey · 25/02/2024 02:28

Wow so many froggie items. Excellent thread, please post some photos after the wedding.

I think a plain dress, the water lilly hair piece and the kermit bag.

What have you done, OP?! I now have 5 pairs of Irregular Choice shoes in my shopping basket! The dilemma!

Motnight · 25/02/2024 09:21

I love this thread! Fantastic dresses being linked to as well!

BlushingMermaid · 25/02/2024 11:05

Thank you so much lovelies, there's so many amazing dresses to choose from and I'm excited to have a nosy!

I'm definitely coming back to this thread when I need help with my Taylor Swifts Eras tour outfit although she may not appreciate the frogs so much Grin

With those shoes I would chose a plainer green dress. Either all green or the floaty marbled/swirl one suggested by others. That way its still useful beyond the wedding
