    hi i think all those are lovely!
    the first two good but i think the third would be too plain on top for your small frame, the last one would enhance your shape i think
    I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p

    I think they're all lovely but I'd think about whether you will be warm enough and whether you need a cardie, shrug, shawl etc. September can be cold especially in churches.

    The top one is beautiful and it would be something I would wear to a wedding.
    Dorothy Perkins have a big sale on dresses atm (online) and there are some lovely ones from £5, worth taking a look.
    Hope this helps :D

    thanks for your replies. i actually brought the first one when it was 50% off last week but not too sure if the colour suits me. also do you think the high neck on the 2nd one looks ok on petites

    Khal327, the second one will depend on how long your neck is. I have quite a short neck, so it wouldn't suit me at all. I do like the first one best, could you try it on in front of a honest friend or your mum if your unsure about it?
    Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j

    I love that you are buying 5, but at that price it is well worth it. I'm sure you will look great. :D

    hi again , after trying on loads of different dresses i ended up with the first one

    but have another problem SHOES!! can anyone tell me what colour would look best with this dress. do i have to buy pink shoes or can i get away with gold or nude/cream. any suggestions and pics would be great.

    Thanks
  • I would say that gold or nude would be best. It's quite a difficult shade of pink to match, and you might risk looking a bit too 'matchy-matchy'! Do you have a bag that you are taking with you? If so get something that will complement that. You could always take the dress with you when you go shoe shopping.

    Have fun!

    By the way - the dress is beautiful!
