Fuck what I can I wear to this wedding?

[dumpydumpydumpdump]

Son getting married this summer. Her mum is 6ft and slender. She's going to look incredible as MOB

I am short, fat (22-24) and with massive boobs. Like huge!

Feeling a bit panic stricken now.
Don't even know what I want to wear let alone find it.

I like patterns but don't want to look like upholstered armchair.
Like most colours, complexion is fair, mousy hair.

No overt cleavage on show. Calves also fecking hug3 so not too short.

Maybe hat. But I look silly in anything small because of massive boobs and tummy.

Arse also size of a small country.

I am perfectly happy with my size mostly, certainly no motivation to starve. But wtf am I going to wear? I'm going to let him down by looking fucking awful. I jus5 want something chic and comfortable.

Budget - not bothered. I was going to look at bombshell but they gone bust. All the MOB/MOG stuff seems to be for thin elegant Carole Middleton types. Love Carole btw. But I need something for a Miriam Margoles shape.

Speaking as a larger lady myself, I don’t think that would be flattering for the OP.

Sleeveless is not flattering on larger ladies, as a rule

If you’re short and large that would make you look like a pumpkin- sorry!

'Scarlett & jo' online , fab dresses ,I'm a size 20 and 5' 2" wore one of theirs for my son's wedding , looked and felt amazing!!

One hundred stars do some lovely dresses, and the throwovers and scarves have amazing prints. A simple pair of wide legs trousers , with a simple top, coupled with one of the throwovers, long jackets look amazing. A lrg size dress would fit your size.

Try Gina Bacconi.

That Monsoon dress is gorgeous!

I was a similar size, and found a lovely dress at Scarlett and Jo. If you look on their website, there are loads of fabulous pictures of larger, older ladies looking a million dollars, and testimonials saying they felt happy and confident.

I was just the same. I felt pretty.

Would highly recommend.

Have to say I’m 63 & wouldn’t be seen dead in this, frumpy or what?!! I like to look elegant and fashionable without being frumpy or mutton dressed as lamb but bland, No!

How about an A line dress with a fabulous flowing matching chiffon overlay (similar to a kaftan style) for that security feeling. Beautifully matching handbag & shoes. Nothing that 'pulls' anywhere & possibly a stunning bracelet. Understated but elegant? As long as your hair & nails are immaculate, you'll feel fab & that will make you glow! I agree that some under shapewear will give you curves in all the right places. Plus wear your shoes 'in' around the house before the wedding so they are comfortable on the day.

Excellent advice, I would just add to get professional make up artist or just buy new make up and get hair professionally done. Don't wear satin (shiny will make you feel massive) or big patterns.

I wouldn’t wear it myself, but I thought it would suit the OPs requirements. Still, I would call it formal, not frumpy

"You could lose a decent sized flock of sheep in my cleavage" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣

Monsoon do beautiful dresses up to a 24

First of all get some confidence and stop bringing your self down your as good and beautiful as everyone at the wedding stand tall good bra don't get a dress to the knee or just below as it makes anyone with a bigger leg look bigger try a lenth to the shin a bold colour and never be afraid of patterns iam size 18 and wear patterns just examples i have sent pick a colour from the dress if 2 or 3 different get hat shoes and bag to match a colour hat a bit bigger a brim on just keep it low key nothing 2 over the top if dress has flowers and wear kitten heels these dresses all on line at next clearance if plain one colour go a big hat with decorations try every style and colors you will be amazed good luck oh look at joanna hope dresses

Are there any boutiques that sells glam evening wear and MOB outfits in plus size near you? You can usually book an appointment and get a one to one. Hope you find something fab and you have a great day.

Coast has a lot of plus size party dresses.
How about this sparkly one for the evening?

And something like this for daytime?

I know it's very tempting to get one dress and wear it all day and all night but you'll feel better if you get changed into something clean after 8 hours in a dress. Also, a lot of patterned / floral dresses look great in daylight but a bit argh in the dim evening light.

Another vote for Scarlett and Jo. I wore one to a wedding last year and it was just so stretchy and flowy and comfortable. Skims over the flab and lots of swishy fabric.
I did have a lovely toning pashmina for the chilly bits in the evening. With matching bag and dainty jewellery. (Green tones)
Nude high wedges for comfort and style. No to a hat.

Wow- what a thread
Op- I need some help with a dress, these are things to consider. I know I'm overweight, it's fine, I just want to feel my best.
Answers- you're too fat, you're going to die young, try CBT to stop eating, have you considered mounjaro? Fucking hell, there are some knobheads about. Style and beauty thread here, not weight loss.

Not sure if anyone has recommended Terry Macey above but he does excellent clothes for MOB/ MOG etc.
You can also get dresses made for you bespoke.

The dress style at the beginning of the bottle green dress is fab and should suit you based on what you have described. It will accentuate the bust in a nice way and since it is flowing would not bring attention to your hips/legs in a negative way. Do order that style in a colour you like and try it.

I know you have said you don’t want to lose weight but a friend in a similar position and similar size has lost an incredible amount of weight 20kgs or 44lbs in time for her daughter’s wedding by joining herbal life. I personally hate meal replacement shakes but seems to work wonders for some. She always said she couldn’t be bothered with weight loss but she is literally a new person now and is still continuing with her weight loss journey. So do think about it, maybe this is the motivation you need to lead a healthier lifestyle.

You are a size 22-24? That’s actually unhealthy no?

FFS, this is not the weight loss forum.
