My cousin is getting married in two weeks and it's come upon me a bit suddenly. He is very posh, and conservative, and is having a big posh wedding. I thought I could get away with wearing a dress I bought for an autumn wedding but it has suddenly got really hot and I don't want to be rubicund and sweaty before I have even started on the champagne, do I now.
I have managed to find dresses that my dds will wear - a feat in itself, as they are resolutely tomboyish - but I'm scuppered wrt myself. I am busty, vaguely hourglass, size 12-14-16 depending on make, and normally dress kind of boho-ly with a lot of norkage on display, which may not do here.
My mother has already dispatched my sisters back to the shops to change their dresses (yes, she DOES wield that kind of power over women in their 40s) and whilst I would not let her do the same to me, I know that unless I am attired appropriately, she is going to subtly undermine me all day and make me feel once again like the black sheep.
So please help.
