note i am not as tall as that model and am only 5ft 3. dress is maybe about 2 inches above the knee. 3 at most.

my mother says she likes the dress ( its for her wedding_ but that its a bit short and that i should wear magic knickers under it and maybe a 'slip'.

magic knickers wont make me a different shape. the dress looks great on me and hides he not so good area ( tummy ) very very well. since the skirt bit is drapey it looks really good.

and slip....wtf!!!!! she said she has to wear slips with skirts in case they go a bit camel toe.... i think she has gone insane.

am wearing with these shoes www.dorothyperkins.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=20&viewAllFlag=false&cata logId=20552&storeId=12552&categoryId=51585&parentcategoryrn=51581&productId=1659790&langId=-1

since you are short(ish)it should be fine. Ignore your mother. But do wear sturdy pants as a precautionary measure. It is a wedding.

Nice dress. Not keen on the shoes. Would wear a nude shoe with that dress. Otherwise too matchy matchy.

Is your mum the one that wants you to get your ears pierced for her big day?

It is QUITE short.
Depends on how confident you are
And time of wedding/venue etc
Prob too short for a church do imo

Well, it's not what I would wear to a wedding, but I don't think it's too short! Maybe your Mum's is worried about you flashing folk, hence the request for big knickers?

It's fine and so are the shoes. there are always lots of threads on "correct" wedding atire on here.

I'm v interested to know what "one" is "supposed" to wear to a wedding? (although I will continue to wear what I want anyway, just interested)

nope she is just obsessed with big knickers. she keeps going on to sister about it too.
i told her this afternoon that if she didnt stop going on i might wear non

yes she is the one who wants me to get my ears pierced.

its not at a church, its a venue place, wedding.reception all being held there.

im 31 ( though usually get mistaken for 26 ish) and have good legs.

i was going to go with nude shoes. but they didnt look right. the shoes are sveral shades darker than the dress so are ok.

well i did try something longer on but just did not feel comftable at all. long dresses drown me and i feel like ive raided my mums dressing up box or something. Im not a hat wearing person either and would not wear a suit type thing.

3 inches above the knee at most.

It's a cute dress and would be nice for a wedding, but probably not as daughter of the bride dress because maybe her friendship circle would thing it was a bit disrespectful being short and flimsy, so you wearing the slip and magic knickers would make the material less floaty look more bulky I suppose, I dunno I'm guessing...I like the dress.

I think it's a bit short.

her friendship circle are all younger than her.
i dont think anyone would think it was innapropiate. maybe i might wear magic knicers.....??? but i am not wearing a slip.

so, out of interest what would you think a young 30 year old should wear to her mothers wedding.. and its not allowed to cost more than £50.

what about this?

dont like it sorry.

i did try a few longer ones on but like i said they just feel like im borrowing some grown ups clothes. i just feel drowned in them. or like im wearing a tent.

oh well in that case it shouldn't be an issue, you've already said it's not that short on you. Now if friend asked me to find things for less than £50, I'd check out bhs, and show her these

i like the hanky hem one. thats about the lenght my one is on me.

have tried dress on again and think it will be fine.

Hi there! I'm also pretty short,and def think that the pictures of models wearing dresses can be deceiving! I think as long as you're confident in it you will wear it well.

If you're worried nearer the time I could totally see a nice long cream pashmina draped over your arms-somehow a pashmina always makes me feel more covered up!

And I LOVE the shoes! As long as you're happy in it I say go for it! I also can't help giggling at the 'magic knickers and slip'! Will u be expected to flash these to prove you are not a harlot?

Sorry-just re-read that,obviously a pashmina makes you more covered up-I just meant even though it doesn't cover your legs,it can make u feel less exposed! Am I making sense?
