Evening wedding guest ideas - help!

4 replies

We've got an evening wedding next week (nothing like last minute, I know)

I was planning on wearing a dress but we go on holiday the week after and I won't have my waxing done so thinking trousers but I have no idea what to wear on top.

Currently was thinking a pair of red wide leg smart linen trousers, but I can't find a top to wear. Would like a sleeve due to the hairy underarm situation 😂

Can any of you fabulous people suggest anything?

Size 14/16, 5'3, pear shaped, so I don't suit anything too long. I can get away with most colours.

Also have black/navy/cream trousers options, but I'm leaning towards the red.

Budget up to about £100, maybe £200 if anyone finds a whole lovely outfit.

Hoping for a miracle here, thank you!

Long sleeved dressy bodysuit?

Could you just shave or move your waxing appointment and wear your existing dress?

Not really, as we go away the week after. I won't be long enough to get waxed if I shave, and if I move my appointment up it won't last for the holiday. Timing is rubbish!

I feel your pain, but honestly if it was me I wouldn’t be bothered about having a bit of hair showing. I know it’s not the same but I often go to the gym with unshaven pits and no one bats an eye
