Eeeek going to a posh wedding in 2 weeks!

[JumpingDizzy]

I've just got back with my ex...wonderful guy just wasn't right time first time round.
Anyway, his nephew is getting married in 2 weeks and he wants to take me to the wedding. It's in a big posh stately home and we'll stay over.

I do have a nice dress I wore to my cousin's wedding 2 years back but it'd be lovely to get something new.

I'll post as I spot things but any ideas welcome. I'm 5 ft 8 long in the body size 12.

Hmm - body shape? Norks/not, good arms? short or longer length? And vague budget?

curvy body shape bit of tum. good arms, 36D boobs, mid to long length as I'm 40 don't want to do mutton for dress up to £70 maybe bit more?

dedided on a fascionator for my hair I'll get one after I buy dress (of course )

Hmm - this is a bit of a bargain - also in black, but you can see the detail better in the raspberry version.

Principles have some lovely looking ones - I like the
chocolate shift dress
Painted rose
Pink ruffle dress (ruffles good for disguising tummy area)
Bit over budget, but lovely

Ooh that raspberry one is lovely and a fab price !

Get it ...get it ...get it !!!

Thanks JackieNo have ordered the raspberry one What a bargain!! I ordered a 14 to be on the safe side but it should be ok?

now I just need accessories.....oooooo I'm getting excited

you think this fascionator will go?

and what colour shoes and bag? cream? Or maybe try to get raspberry shoes and cream bag? Oooo decisions, decisions

or maybe a shade of pink?

I went into jane norman today and they've got loads of lovely dresses in the sale down to £20 - £30 instead of £40 - £60

oh I'm too late sorry should read whole threads lol

thanks lovemygirls. I've ordered the raspberry one from ghost. Just thinking about accessories now. I'd prefer more time but it's quite exciting.

what do you think of these sandals?

I like those. Tbh, the dress may be a difficult colour to match - but going a bit darker, as I suspect those ones are, should work. I have no idea what Ghost sizing is like, so hope it's all OK.

Yes JackieNo I was thinking that, going darker will be a better idea.
I'm thinking beads necklace now? maybe dark pink too? Or I was thinking of silver bag and silver beads or necklace?

Silver could be good. Too much pink might be a bit overwhelming.

Yes I think so too Might look a bit 80's

ghost sizes are quite accurate, certainly not small.

thanks MABS. Hope it isn't too big then although I am 12/14 in most dresses and I want to be able to eat plenty

Just over 2 hours for the sandals so hope I win them?
