Another wedding guest dress!

9 replies

Please help me find something nice to wear to a hotel wedding in early October.

I'm in my 30s and used to be a size 12 but recently dropped down to a size 10. I carry most of my weight across my upper legs, hips and upper arms, but I have a decent waist and would like a dress that focuses on that. I'm quite short at 5ft 2 and tend to suit bolder darker colours rather than pastels etc. Brown hair, hazel eyes.

I like halter neck, one shoulder, boat neck or backless dresses. I have small boobs and don't find wrap or low cut dresses very flattering, generally.

Has anyone seen anything suitable?

At size 10 you are not carrying much weight anywhere!

I know what you mean, but I am quite pear shaped/bottom and thigh heavy compared to a v flat chest.

Renting is an option! Would have to be petite in size because I couldn't get the length altered on a rental.

Look at The Pretty Dress Company.. They often accentuate your waist..check their sales section.

I'm sure OP knows her body better than you do. 🙄
