Wedding Guest Help!

Hello,

I need some serious help. I’m going to a wedding at the end of August (all day) and for reasons I won’t go into, I need to dress to kill! I struggle with this at the best of times but I have gained a huge amount of weight due to ill health this year and have lost a significant amount of confidence.

I’m 5ft3, currently a size 14, unable to wear heels. I’m 39.

Please help me! I feel so disgusting at the moment I can’t imagine myself in anything other than PJs and trackies!

So what’s your dress to kill budget??

What body shape do you have OP and do you have any colours that suit you particularly well?

i think I could be considered a pear? I’m not sure. I can definitely get an hour glass with the correct control wear! Carrying weight around my middle and hips right now.

Im very fair so yellow is out I think.

Budget is £100 or less. If I can find something I like and find similar on Vinted, I’d be very happy.

What sort of context?

Chic city registry office?

Woodland bacchanal?

Highland ceilidh?

County hotel?

I think this would be very flattering and is definitely very eye-catching.

This one is a similar shape but a bit less booby.
