Hi,
My brother is getting married in June - kids are all bridesmaids. I’m now panicking slightly about what to wear. I know I have time to lose some weight (I’m 5’8, size 16/18 - probably more like 18 at the moment), but want an outfit I feel good in now, so that any weight loss is a bonus!
I’d like a dress, but am open to a fancy jumpsuit. I don’t want to have anything above the knee, but happy showing a bit of leg.

but wonder, as someone who is pale and blonde, whether I will look washed out.
Bridesmaids are a mixture of sage green/ dusky lavender so obviously I want to avoid that. Any help or suggestion gratefully received.

Scarlett &Jo have suitable dresses. Also Roman originals.

Coast have some dressy jumpsuits and lots of wedding guest dresses.
Are there no outlet stores near you selling a range of labels where you could try things on? Happy hunting.

I love Silk Fred for dresses and jumpsuits and they have a wedding section.
