Non-traditional gay wedding (mine)- dress advice/suggestions requested

May 07, 2012 15:19

We're both inbetweenies in the UK (between size 16-22) so feel free to skip if you can't help/are annoyed by inbetweenie posts. Wedding help needed within!

( So Fats. We've both already bought dresses but we're both a little bit less than OVERWHELMED WITH JOY at them. So we're still looking and I wondered about general suggestions and a specific eShakti question at the end. )

eshatki, personal style, semi formal/formal wear, season specific clothing, online shopping, weddings, sizing information/issues, eshakti

Have you looked at asos recently? They have lads of cute, affordable summer dresses that would totally work for a wedding

Check it out:

Those are all cute- I like the last one a lot- but ASOS for some reason always seem to be out of 18s, and usually 20 on top is too big for both of us. But thank you!!

yeah, i think ASOS doesn't really do CURVE in 18. their straight size 18 is generous -- i couldn't resist looking, and think i need to buy this for myself!

also, if you're in London I have an amazing tailor in Soho who can work absolute wonders with anything, high end or not.

Nowhere near London but there are usually cheap returns available from Bangor (Wales, not Northern Ireland, obviously) so it's possible... you could PM me their details? :)

Also, that dress is gorgeous. I didn't know their 18s were a more generous fit... if I find something on there in our budget I may pass it along to the other half.

I've just tried on my dress again and I do really like it. I guess I'm just worried it might not be summery enough. (Even though we are getting married in Sale which is ... not known for its summer weather, to say the least.) I'm just on the fence about it!! I'm so glad this is a low-key, 20-person wedding and not some huge elaborate expensive one or the pressure would be on, haha.

also, enjoy the wedding prep, don't worry about having the perfect anything -- just be comfy and confident so that you can enjoy your day!!
