style me please - need dresses for 3 weddings 2 in April and one in July!

[beanieb]

I am 5 ft 5 and size 10/12.
I can't do strapless and I won't do thin straps.

I like vintage styles but I have small Norks so am not good with things which require boobage.

My hair is dark, my eyes are blue/grey.

I don't want anything black but black with patterns would be ok.

HELP!

thank God you're bot
she's got that weird chicken chest thing going on

haven't looked at all the links (meant to be working) but that red dress from Coast is a complete stunner. I want a wedding to go to.

With help from my mum I am attempting to make this in green. The front one.

this?

I like that

OH MY GOD

(dances victory dance!!!))

mwah mwah blows kisses
yayyyyyyy

you picky stylish thing!!

beanieb that vintage dress website is amazing. I love it! Thanks so much
and Ronald I completely love the madmen dresses too. I have one like the second one and wear it lots. Such pretty shapes.

I am bookmarking this thread so I can go and do some serious window shopping at lunchtime. yay!

it's a great site isn't it, only problem is that I can fit their bust size (36) but an a lot wider of waist than I should be so am not sure the dresses would look very good on me!

I want that Frank Usher dress!!!!!!

I bought this and it arrived today! am so chuffed as it's really nice on!

Very cute but sophisticated you will look fab!!!!- psssst - Beanieb, what about you own wedding - are you married now or still madly arranging things???

Am still arranging stuff, my mum hasn't started the dress yet but she's helping me out with making another this weekend so I think we'll probably talk material then.

Mostly everything is paid for but I am having a bit of a struggle to find shoes. Finally found a pair I quite like today and they are only £80, so as soon as I know what colour the dress will be I'll put an order in (they can dye them) and I'll feel a little bit more prepared.

oooh ooh oooooohhhhh I am going to a wedding tomorrow and I have that red Coast dress to wear!! I am brunette, I think its perfect for brunettes.

With three weddings to go to and one to arrange - you are in danger of living in a lovely, crazy wedding fog!!!

It is my sister's wedding next month - when I will exit my own little wedding fog!!!!

Harrogatemum - is the red dress as lovely on as it is in the pictures?

Beanieb - yes, I hadnt even considered it, I liked this one but it looked awful on, it was too short (I am 5ft 10). But the assistant suggested the red one and I fell in love with it instantly. She tried to get me to buy black stuff to go with it but it was a bit too Gothic so since I had already spent up on the dress, I bought these much cheaper shoes and the clutch bag you see to the right of it, all topped off with this fascinator. Fingers crossed it will all look ok tomorrow, not tried it all on together!

oh to be 5ft 10!

love the shoes, and has given me another place to look for my wedding shoes!

bet you look fab!

cheers - will let you know (if only the "streak free" fake tan had worked.....legs and arms are currently like an orange patchwork quilt.........
