Wedding guest panic dress too tight

[spanieleyes22]

So I have a lovely dress for a wedding on sat but tried it on last night and it's v tight. The zip does do up with a lot of pulling but once it's up it feels very uncomfortable. I could wear it but with the heat as well it's goong to be an ordeal. Feel so stupid. Feel like I'm v bloated in the heat as scales is the same or a couple of pounds down. Had wanted to lose weight but didn't happen 🙈

I've ordered a couple of dresses from
Next that are coming tmw. Not sure if they will even fit though.

Had a thought - you know those satin skirts that are everywhere - I have one in white and I have a nice silky top in navy. Would that be ok do you think. It's a wedding in France. Due to be touching 30 degrees. But starts at 530 . I also have a black satin skirt and could look for a top to go with it. Wwyd. Thank you

The navy geometric one is perfect. Cool, smart, perfect for a wedding.

I still like the blue and white geometric one the best. The pattern is simple and strong.
It would look nice with your silver sandals.
It will look cool, airy and gracious.

Hmm I'm not sure now! I know what you mean about the blue geometric one it is stylish

This one.

Can you bring the dress to alterations to be let out a bit ? I had a wedding last week wore a jumpsuit. Tried it on on weekend before and was tight across belly - zipped up but if moved was uncomfortable. Brough it to alterations she was able to let out the belly part put a small panel each side in same colour ( you didn't even notice it) and the jumpsuit was so more better after that

Yes that one.

If it's polyester you will swelter in it! I don't agree with other posters re the navy top with white skirt. It looks classy and not bridal in any way at all.

IMO test that would look fine (better than white) and looks great with navy.

Get something loose that drapes if you're a plus size and suffer with the heat.

This is cheap as chips and won't crease

Anything ' satin ' is a synthetic material, you will be hot in those materials. You want to stick to cotton and linen etc.

You need something in viscose, not polyester. Much more comfortable and cool and not sweaty.

Simply be

These guys do next say deliver and this dress is lovely

Simply be

This one also nice

Simply be

Also this

I’ve got my fingers crossed for the navy dress from Next… hope it fits OP.
Have a lovely time 😊

Don't wear the tight dress - you will feel terrible.

The skirt is lovely - wear that but not with a white top!

Yes, it's ok just the white skirt, no white top. No probs.

I wore this one from M&S to a very hot sunny wedding recently, it was lovely and cool and swishy and draped beautifully (I am a 14). I wore with navy heels and I felt really elegant in it and had a lot of compliments.

I did have to safety pin the front as I have big boobs and find I have to do that with all wrap dresses. It's like a fine woven/crepe style viscose so not sweaty to wear at all. I did actually size down to a 12 as there was still ample fabric and the 14 was too big.

I have to say that the breeze under it was lovely and I did feel sorry for those who were sweating in polyester. I get hot really easily but wasn't at all in this.

You can't go wrong with the cotton navy dress in broderie anglais from Next.

Please don't wear satin or polyester. You will be so hot and uncomfortable and sweaty satin is just not chic.

Why are you wearing white/off white to a wedding?

1.the idea was navy top and cream skirt. Not white
2.read the thread. The OP is looking at cotton dresses now

Agree cotton is cooler for summer in France. How about this one from Seasalt (Bamboo and cotton). It's in the sale for £37.95! Although only available in size 8 and size 12.

Actually that's jersey sorry. But I can recommend this! Bought it this summer - technically it's a jumpsuit/culottes but it looks like a dress when it's on. Lovely cool cotton and looks much smarter than on the picture. Halter neck but you could wear a cardigan or jacket maybe.

The Op really doesn't have time for any more online shopping - she departs tomorrow.
Hopefully she returns to us and says the navy and white dress in M&S was still there and she bought it after work today.

I hope so too.
