Help me feel good - MOB outfit needed

4 replies

outofideas2 · 14/02/2026 13:48

My DD is getting married in the summer and I need to find an outfit. I don't feel great about myself and I need you knowledgeable ladies to sort me out an outfit, please.

Here's the mission:

I'm 5'3", size 12 but feel plump.
Want to avoid high street so I don't run risk of matching a guest.
Vibe is fairly casual so no hat needed.
I'm thinking dress, patterned (in case of spills) with short sleeves.
I like my boobs, hate my tummy, hips, bum and pretty much everything else 😥
I would avoid anything too fitted, so no shift dresses.
Need to avoid black, white, pink and red. My favourite colours are blue and green.
Budget up to £1000

Thank you!

@waltzingparrot that's a good start but I think I'd prefer a bit longer. My knees aren't great either....

Start by browsing Net-a-Porter for a few weeks to see which brands appeal to you. Obviously they don’t have their full summer stock yet, but you’ll get an idea of what you want to focus on.

(I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that pretty much anything can be altered to fit perfectly, if necessary.)
