Wedding outfit ideas

7 replies

Unfashionablyfrumpy · 14/04/2025 12:05

I’m having a tiny wedding in the autumn, registry office, 2 friends as witnesses, a meal then the pub.
I’m early 50s, size 12 with stupidly large boobs. I usually wear harem pants/joggers and t shirts/sweatshirts in dark colours only. Hate to feel overdressed and don’t want to look particularly feminine (or particularly masculine for that matter!) Will be wearing trainers. Any idea at all what my outfit could be?

A beautiful cream / ivory waistcoat and trousers co-ord set? You’d have time to have the waistcoat tailored/ altered to fit perfectly.

What’s your budget?

Would this feel too dressy?

Stories suit

If so, have a look here - most of the clothes are unisex but they’re all wonderful and mostly not dressy at all:

I suppose it depends whether you like clothes and want something special (even if non-traditional) to mark the occasion, or you don’t care about clothes and just want something you feel will ‘do’?

If the former - have a look for inspiration (maybe) at

It does sound as if you care! But if you just want something ‘suitable’, there’ll be plenty of people to direct you to Coast and Phase Eight …

(Sorry, apologies, Cawley Studios have updated their stock - particularly the made to measure, and lost all the male models in unisex clothes.)

Obviously no idea of your budget - this is a fabulous High St option:

Ah amazing, thank you. I want to look nice, budget not a problem considering we’re barely spending in anything else. I like the shorts/jacket combo and the waistcoat co ord. I’ll take a good look at the other links. Appreciate you sharing!

Thank you, that could work. I think wide leg trousers or jumpsuit sounds best.
