Outfit needed for early may wedding

3 replies

MissisBoot · 04/04/2009 17:59

I'm a size 12 - vase shape - with short fat legs,large bust and wobbly tummy (I sound lovely don't I!)

Tend to wear empire line dresses but think they don't do much for me so am looking for something different to my usual choices.

I've got dark hair and olive skin - I quite like pewter/metallic colours.

Wedding is a marquee wedding so likely to be a bit chilly given its early May.

Help please!!!

This Coast dress is described as gunmetal grey so should have a slight metallic shimmer. The loose skirt should skim your tummy and depending on how tall you are should end below the knee so there's not too much "short fat" leg on show. There's also a shrug in a similar colour or a silver one at Monsoon.

Another metallic grey dress at Oli.

And another at Debenhams.

great - thanks Amandoh.

I like the look of the Oli one - do you know what their sizing is like?

Prefer plain rather than patterned/floral.

The shrugs look good too!

I like the Oli one too.

No idea on their sizing though. They do have a size guide at the bottom of the home page. It might be worth ordering two dresses to try and then seeing which one looks best on.
