Sister size 12. What can she wear for a posh wedding?

She is incredibly toned and incredibly gorgeous but has terrible dress sense. What can we suggest? She is the SIL (by marriage) of the bride to be and the wedding is at one of the Cambridge Colleges. A hat nec prob.

What shape? Curvy or more straight up-and-down? Bust? Legs? What's her colouring?

Swedes · 29/06/2008 23:28

Straight up and down body shape - boyish rather than curvaceous.. Colouring - brown eyes and fair/med brown hair. She thinks she looks nice in browns but actually she doesn't.

There are a few I think would suit on the Jaeger website. There are several that would suit a straight up and down figure. Can't do a link though.

She has lovely legs and good bust. She is outdoorsy - is it just me or are they always hopeless at looking stylish?

TMMJ - Nice. I'll run that outfit past her.
Thanks for nice things about DS1. I'll tell him he has an admirer! What colour is your hat?

isadora dress in lime

The website doesnt do it justice - its a beautiful dress -more lime than sludge as it looks on here.

Swedes · 30/06/2008 17:27
