Hi all,



need a dress for my niece's wedding in a months time.



I am about 170cm, size 14, 85kg. I am quite large busted - 14E.


I want something non black, vneck or scoop neck to play down the bust, maybe knee length or just above. I do have a waist, but also a mummy tummy. My legs are passable. I don't mind sleeveless, but would prefer maybe a cap sleeve or something - my arms are not too bad, but more muscular than most.

No loud patterns or really bright colours - as I know all my sisters are wearing dark colours. Unfortunately for me they are all about a size 8, and have several inches in height on me, and are quite a bit younger. I do quite like lace and floral patterns, but usually not abstract..

My colouring is quite fair skin, blue/green eyes, light brown hair.

So to sum up I want something to make me look slimmer, taller and younger - not so impossible? Throw me your suggestions please.


Thanks

Budget?

On special!

Also this http://www.birdsnest.com.au/brands/ping-po...-jersey-dress-1

poppy maybe too bright, but the blue looked nice and I love jersey

This for lace - not sure about the boob or colour factor though

Are you near a Myer?
They have such a massive range of dresses.. I got one for a wedding from Basque. And it was under $100.

I am a simailar bild to you (a bit shorter). I buy a lot of clothes here Pepperberry

what about this
or this

It is quite dressy, but I have this dress in blue and it is very flattering (on forgiving on my tummy.

You should also look at Birdsnest , in particular the brands Maiocchi, Elise and Retrospec'd

Hope that gives you some ideas

I recently got a dress from Karen Millen and although pricey it is stunning. There are some lovely things on sale also.

Seduce also have some beautiful dresses at the moment.

And as a PP linked Birdsnest is ways great. Best service by far.

totally recomened Leona Edmiston. I got one of hers very similar to this https://leonaedmiston.com/online_store/view...9/maddison_d772

after someone on here reccomended it for a wedding. It is lovely and was lovely to wear. Her sizing is a bit weird, my dimentions are not disimilar to yours OP and I was a size 2 (!) anyway. I love the dress.

Thanks everybody.



I really like all the suggestions. Someone asked about budget - probably $200, as I may have to buy shoes.


Wedding is formal - do you think those Leona Edmiston wrap dresses would fit that dress code? - I do have one hanging in my wardrobe!



Thanks again

Have you looked at the Asos Bodycon dresses?
There's a couple there that are quite nice that would fit your bill.

I was just reading my new Ezibuy catalogue that arrived today and thought this was a great buy.

Also liked this one too.
