Off to town in an hour - need wedding outfit for next Saturday, in London, help!

[JustKeepSwimming]

Right, have tried on my pre-DC clothes, none (quite) fit.

Going to a wedding in London next Saturday, sure everyone else will be v stylish & slim, pressure pressure

I'm about a size 12, have rapidly reducing norks (wearing my A cup bras again - having just stopped bf), want to be warm, smart, etc. etc.

What do I wear??????????????????

Shopping choices are limited to:
Debenhams
TK Maxx
Monsoon
Next
M&S
New Look
Primark

scraping the barrel....

Hmm, is there a 'budget'?

some ideas:

debenhams silver dress
(will need to think about shoes too though & not warm i wouldn't think!)

debenhams aqua dress
(same issues as above & maybe too near white for a guest?)

or:
debenhams satin trousers?
(find a nice top & jacket maybe?)

mrsSB - not really, i mean the cheaper the better but i have to have something to wear.
If i do nothing i will have to wear a slightly too big pair of boring black trousers (from matalan i think when desperate before a work thing) and find a top of some sort - have nothing particularly smart - am def not a yummy mummy!

I think a mid length coat is always good, you don't necessarily have to take it off, so gives 'flexibility' on what is worn underneath iyswim!

Coat from Monsoon -
here

Fascinator - here

I am thinking maybe a grey - possibly silky -shift dress, but haven't found anything yet... will have another look!

This fascinator may go better...

Oh i like the coat - can't imagine what to wear underneath though? a plain top and black trousers?
not sure i can carry off a fascinator - would probably spend all day fiddling with it!

Ooh spooky - x posts with swimming on the dress! Would the dress work under the coat, hmmm need to get both windows side by side

They have illustrtated it with black trousers so I guess that would be fine. But I am sure some more stylish ladies will be along to help you, I am usually the one asking for help rather than doling it out!

Could give the coat a try - or at least see if they have it in my branch.

now what about this:

m&s dress
is it hideous or trendy?
I have no style

Another dress here, maybe with a bolero style jacket?

m&s dress2
or this?
trying to find something warmer!

I like knitted dresses, but not sure about that colour - on me anyway! It may suit you. It is quite pretty but a bit casual...?? But that's probably just me!

Here's a matching jacket for purple dress.

The next one - like the colour & the top bit would distract from tiny boobs
looks cold though. + jacket maybe.
(& tights & shoes, argh, shoes)

Oh and i'm not great with heels, have some (a black pair & a navy pair) - could buy more but not massively tall ones.

COuld i just wear her outfit? with the trousers & vest?
Will try Next definitely.

Please don't do a fascinator they are so naff.

there are loads of smart dresses in monsoon sale if that's what you're looking for

you'll need to try them on (i.e. don't take kids if you can!) as I always think their dresses are made to a really strange shape (though I'm willing to think I may have an odd body shape!)

The 2nd dress is quite nice I think - it looks good with the bright pink necklace. I would probably wear with a pink wrap and grey fascinator. But I am not stylish either so it's a case of the blind leading the blind!!

can I be honest and say that rib dress would probably look great if you happen to be a very stylish person and can accessorise well

if you aren't (like me), it may end up looking like a very long vest

See - I told you I was not stylish!!

Good luck

So nice figure , no tits.
Budget?
Event?
LOCation?

Hey MrsSB -thanks, you don't have to go you know!!! you have helped

evening or afternoon wedding..also v key

I am embarrassed to be doling out style advice swimming!! - my taste is - er - quite individual! I don't want to lead you astray as well! FWIW, I think fascinators or hats are a nice touch at a wedding, unless you really hate or don't suit them. It's a good excuse to glam up a bit imo. They also give a focal point so all the focus is not on my fat thighs outfit!!

Yeahbut - really like the first dress!

SO monsoon def added to the list.

Not taking children, thank god.
Have unlimited time (maybe not patience though!).

Event - wedding; church, walk round corner to restaurant for meal & drinks/evening do.
Location - Clerkenwell, London
Budget - not really sure, under £300? Lower the better, obv!

Yes, slim-ish, no boobs to speak of, saggy belly post 2 x pg .
Ok calves but not great with heels, tend towards trousers more but want to be smart.

fox - think the rib dress is prob a no-no but maybe i should try it on?
