Come and help me decide on my bridesmaid dress style. Plllllleeeeeeaaaassseee...

[lauraloola]

Im being bridesmaid in a few months for my sis. She has bought us a pale coloured satin which is quite heavy.

I am now a size 16 with big hips and bum after having dd. I tried on a satin dress the other day in a basic style and it looked awful. It showed every lump and bump.

What can I do. She has suggested putting chiffon over the top and rushing it.

Any ideas...

find out what style flatters your shape the most a la susannah & trinny - I have no idea as I'm the opposite shape!

think structure
50's style with waist, pencillish skirt and picture[?] collar - one of those folded back things anyway. have a look on the coast website for some ideas. industrial underpants. nothing bias-cut.

Good underwear will help

I was going to suggest some magic underwear that holds you in and gives you a smooth line...

I am going to have Spanx and hopefully will have a bit of weight by then but my shape has changed completly since having dd.

We are having jackets from the same fabric.

I have this and it's fab, didn't pay that much though, found moey off voucher codes and got about £15 off www.figleaves.com/uk/product.asp?product_id=TBW-44300&mci=&size=&colour=&image=r4026-p178043-style
Worth the money, wear it loads.

Ooh, thanks chipo.

My sister is buying me the undies!! I made her or else I wouldnt do it lol!

Your welcome, if you do get it, get it before choosing the design as the straps are quite wide.
