Is this weddingy enough? Plus size wedding guest attire?

[muvva]

It's a very special wedding as my darling brother is getting married. Is this dressy enough? 'Occasion' wear is not usual my thing. I thing it's going to be a smallish wedding and my family tend to wear what they enjoy as opposed to very very dressed up. Any ideas would be great.

It's lovely...and it's definitely a dress for dancing!!

You could add a pretty cardigan or jacket or wear a cream wrap with it.

 

[Callie]

I like that you could add red or white accessories.

I had a wedding guest outfit panic this week and ended up buying a random dress from quiz which was white with pink flowers...not the usual thing I would go for but I think it looks nice

 

[colacubes]

Yes. It is gorgeous

 

[RubyToogood]

Definitely with some smart accessories. Without the accessories you could wear that to much less dressy occasions too. Good choice.

 

[muvva]

Oooh yes, red accessories would be lovely, thanks for that idea Callie !

 

[Miss Caphat]

Ooh very pretty looks like nice fabric too.

 

[moomoo]

Very pretty!

 

[muvva]

With this wrap?

When is the wedding? That wrap is a lovely colour but looks a bit substantial...More cropped and fitted would be better I think unless it's December...

No, it would want something fitted.

Lovely dress muvva.
I have a similar style dress and I wear a red shrug with it.

 

[muvva]

This one?

Much more like it yes. Easy to match a clutch and shoes with that too.

 

[Callie]

Yes! I like that

Personally I'd go for something that covered my arms but didn't wrap across my chest so much. buying an M&S cardi a coupe of sizes smaller than usual generally fits the brief. Gorgeous dress

 

[purenarcotic]

That's a lovely, lovely dress.

 

[Thimble Queen]

It's really lovely. I prefer the style of the second cardy although I might go for something in proper postbox red. Congratulations for your brothers upcoming wedding. I hope you all have a lovely time ❤

 

[Shirl]

Personally I'd wear whatever I felt I looked good in. I think anything's appropriate so long as you're happy wearing it. Having said that, the dress looks great.

Help meeeeee! I'm the mother of the groom, it's in two weeks, it's super formal! It's all suits, long dresses, waiters and harps. It says formal on the invite..im still wearing fucking cut offs and vests and dungarees, same as I ever did.

I have no idea what to wear! Dressing up for me.. It's almost pathological (like hating housework) boy two has just pointed out that I seem to have an aversion to all things 'girly' but fundamentally he's right.

fiftyfuckingsix and still don't know how to dress myself

I saw these locally Lace Up Harem Pant

And wondered if they'd be okay with some sort of fancy vest..like a camisole..and a shawl? Plus I'm not wearing heels but have some sparkly flat sandles...

I've been out at the shops all morning and all I got was a six pack of beer

 

[MrSki]

Sorry no help here but you have my empathy. Try returning your mind to early childhood & the dressing up box. Remember Mr Benn & the shopkeeper? Be someone else for the day.

Good luck with it.

 

[ice-is-forming]

Thank MrSki dressing up box huh I tried googling Mr Benn and wedding but all I got was Mr Bean and wedding

I don't want to be someone else for the day, I want to be in my comfort zone but please everyone else too (well my dil really)....

 

[MrSki]

I had to do that to put on a suit to wear to a funeral. I don't feel normal wearing smart clothes so had to resort to "Dressing up mode" from childhood. Good luck with it.

 

[ice-is-forming]

It really shouldn't be this hard boy two has just diagnosed me with aspergers. Reckons he should know seeing as he has his own diagnosis...

What's wrong with us?

 

[MrSki]

I don't think there is a Mr Benn goes to a wedding but just to put you in the mood.

 

[MrSki]

Mind you Mr Benn dresses like a twat before he puts on fancy dress.

If it's very formal you could rent an outfit? Saves the hassle of shopping for something you probably won't ever wear again. Plus there will be full outfits for you to choose from. No faffing about trying to match shoes and hats and all that goes with formal stuff.
Just an idea.

 

[Boudicca]

I think harem pants will be too casual.

Do you have Monsoon over there? Maybe look for something full length, floaty but comfortable and you can wear it with flat shoes.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

How far are you away from Eumundi? There are some fab clothes there both dressy and more floaty and generally a lot more interesting than in the shops. The covered market area away from the street is best for clothes.
