I need an outfit for a May wedding and I am useless at looking good.
I also have two very glam non frumpy sisters who always look gorgeous.
Please help I am a size 12 with big boobs and I am 5ft2.

what sort of wedding? any outdoor aspect to the event? your budget?

we'll get you sorted!

Comewhinewithme · 17/02/2010 17:01

Church wedding ,reception at a hall no outdoor stuff AFAIK.

Budget under a 100.00 would be good.

Thankyou .

Hmm... still pretty vague, but let's start by gauging reactions to something like this

tethersend · 17/02/2010 17:50

Or this?

Nicked from another thread

I just want to know what sort of thing does or doesn't do it for you really... oh, plus hair colour, age and whether you feel ok having arms and legs on show.

Please

I love the purple dress at John Lewis.

Alice the deep v neck is very very nice.

Now I like the phase 8 one better .

Not keen on the patsy dress but I like the colour.

I like the pleat dress but I think my favourite is the phase 8.

CWWM i am a 12 with big boobs and only 5ft3(and a half!) so went for the stuff i would have gone for. Always go for a low cut top and it will stop any monoboob. I thought the purpley ones would suit you because of your hair colour.

BariatricObama · 18/02/2010 08:36

oh the phase 8 purple one is good. their dresses are v. flattering on.
