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

If something is hot tight and uncomfortable trying it on here, I wouldn't dream of wearing it to an occasion where I want to feel comfortable AND its super hot.

A white skirt with a bold top doesnt sound too drastically 'don't wear to a wedding' - with a bold top it's hardly as if yout trying to pass for or outdo the bride.

Have you looked at Monsoon? - you can filter by sleeve length and fabric.
