I need an outfit for my friends wedding .. I am size 22 and have no idea how to dress for my size

[SweetCheeksLovesSweetTalk]

I have 40DD Norks, Big flabby belly, flabby arms. My legs are ok but heavily scared due to eczema

Not a lot of hope is there

Any help gratefully or advice received

I am 5ft4 so thats a no.

I'm not used to clingy anymore - since having dd and carrying birth weight I tend to wear things that resemble tents

This is a really nice colour and could be foxed up with some suede heeled boots. Flattering shape.

I'm going to try and win on ebay

What shoes, accessories would you wear?

Just to jump in, the toned down purple dress is lovely, so flattering, I wore it to a wedding last year and felt great, very flattering across the boobs.

The fabric is not too clingy, just sits nice.

I agree mmj. By lifting and supporting your boobs you will create a great waist.

Thanks flourybabs if I see it in my size I will be buying it.

matalan carry rogers and rogers stuff which has an occasional gem too

agree with mmj though that a well fitting bra will make ALL the difference

remember Evans for your basics if you need shoes/boots/black trousers as well

AND Next now do a range that have clothing up to our sizes too

Yes - I agree with MildMannered. Definitely, if you haven't already been there, give it a go - they're great. I went in a 40dd, and came out a 38G or FF (depending on the make) . Love the purple dress.

I have some purple stretchy suede boots that I would wear it with, or some purple heels with maybe some coloured tights .

Thank you flourybaps, thats a doubleheader with both of you recommending it - I must win it now!

MMJ I know you are right but that means having to expose my belly to a stranger!!

I like all the dresses you linked to Sweetcheeks. You've got good taste.

Do it anyway, Sweetcheeks (I feel like an american gangster calling you that). It really does make a huge difference. And they've seen it all before, plus you never have to see them again (well, until you go back for another fitting in 6 months because you want some more lovely bras )

LOL @ american ganagster maybe I should think about a name change.

MMJ You are right. Its just something I'm going to have to do isnt it. I will do it, I know it make all the difference.

Thank you ladies, esp.twinset for trawling the internet on my behalf, I really do appreciate it and I will think of you all when I'm looking fab and glam at the wedding!

Glad you have found something, I love doing this, especially as my new budget means I rarely get to shop for myself.

twinsetandpearls, tis just another reason we're delighted you didn't flounce!!

this thread has made me get off my lardy bum and start listing all the clothes I need to sell to fund my unpaid maternity I LOVE looking for clothes online

Twinset you found it and I am very grateful

I never flounce for long, am rather pathetic in that department.

glad to hear it

I have revamped my wardrobe thanks to TSAP and no longer lurk in black and brown. Am off to NY in a couple of weeks for a bit of shopping and can't wait!

You must share your purchases Schaden,

Ummm...I got a red dress. Can't remember where from, and it's a bit short, but looks good with black jeans under it. A dress from Elvi which is wrap-ish and gives me a waist. And the bright Anna Scholz one which I think you have linked to in this thread. Also some cheery tops which are (whisper it) patterned!

Have also ordered some stuff from crazyclearance.co.uk this week.

I boughtthis in black print and this too

a size 22 bargin dress for £10!
