Plus size and cheap wedding clothes help

mazblaze

Hi,

I am getting married this March in Somerset (we only decided on the date last week) and need to sort out what i'm going to wear.

I'm a size 32 and doubt I will be able to drop a dress size in time. I tried a non wedding dress on yesterday and looked horrific so I am now panicking about what I can wear. I just want to look really smart.

The wedding is going to be a civil ceremony so It doesn't need to be a wedding dress. I was thinking of a trouser suit but am really struggling to find something really smart but comfortable. I also have problems with large swollen legs which i doubt will be completely sorted by the wedding so need something that will come down to the floor more or less. We are also doing the wedding on a very small budget and have about £200 to spend on what I wear.

If anyone has any ideas that could help me I would be so so grateful. we live in warwickshire and the wedding is Somerset so if I could get something in either of those areas that would be great.

If anyone has any ideas that could help me, I would be so so grateful!!

Ann Harvery always has some very good well cut suits. Expensive, but worth it for a decent trouser suit.
Have a google for your area. There is a designer shop in Manchester that my mum found through google that specialise in size 24 and above and the clothes are beautiful.

Have a look at this thread - the very first post is a goldmine of information.

It says to check your size though as it's American sizes, so not sure about what size is what. There is and enquiry form to help. They are based in Bexley Heath Kent.
Right I'm going to stop Googling now, I just love to 'shop' even if it's only virtually (very MSE!)

I do hope you find something lovely.

Hi again,

Thanks for all your help. I'm still looking at the moment - nervous about getting a dress over the internet without being able to try it on as knowing my luck it would look horrid on me! Also my budget for clothes for me has to be £200 which is making life really difficult trying to find anything.

Thanks for your help though - i really appreciate it.
