Well the last time I wore a dress or skirt was in 2000!
I work in the creative industry and have a work uniform of jeans and....umm that's it!
My nephew is getting married 1st week of June and it's going to be pretty traditional and I haven't got a clue where to start.
I'm 5'8, wear a 14, no waist, no hips 36C norks.
Don't really want to show my legs or arms or waist or anything really but I guess I'm going to have to. This is giving me a headache just thinking about it
Please someone tell me what to get...

Well try the next one and go from there I had to buy a fecking size 20 to fit my norks and sil has had to take it in everywhere else! I have large norks a small waist and decent sized ips. Everyone on the other wedding thread was advising floaty wraps and the like and I never thought a dress like this would suit me but by God it's a miracle. It gives me a perfect orglass figure. It's a structured stretch satin material withc cup norks and a 14 waist i'd go for a 14 qand it should fit fine I swear tis dress will give you gorgeous hips and if it needs taking in take it to a dressmaker it's an easy job and the dress is only £50 so you can afford too.
