My very first 'I need a wedding outfit thread!' < does a MN dance> ...

Right, wedding isn' until October but need to plan, choose and save for it now really.

Im dieting so plan on being smaller by then, so shall speculate on general shape /size ...

Right, shall we say size 12? (am 16 now)

Will most probably have severe mummy tummy still, not fat/round, but saggy, gah,

Boobs ok, but need support.

5ft 5. long black poker straight hair, dark brown eyes

Want to look FAB because its the first time Ive been anywhere in years, wont have kids at the evening and will hopefully be a curvy size 12 again!

Any suggestions?

I haven't bought anything in years!!

Am 24 btw.

Disenchanted3 · 26/05/2009 21:13

this is pretty

love this

could be nice

forgiving and lovely in green in the shop

These are all dresses though and not terribly wintery - will you be in a venue all day or be needing more of a coat/dress combo?

differentID · 26/05/2009 21:16

I think that colour orange wold bring out reds in your skin.

Disenchanted3 · 26/05/2009 21:23

LOVE the bubble dress, would have to see the green as thats silvers very light, too bridal for a guest?

I though the monsoon was red?

Right no orange for me

OP posts:
differentID · 26/05/2009 21:28

I saw it as orange, sorry. I'd try it,though- see if it did suit you, as it does say it's red.

Disenchanted3 · 26/05/2009 21:30

OP posts:
differentID · 26/05/2009 21:40

you can, as long as it's the right style. Too short and you will get talked about.

Disenchanted3 · 26/05/2009 21:41

hmm dunno, was trying to get away from black

OP posts:
differentID · 26/05/2009 21:42
