K9Fran Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I haven't been to a wedding for years. Due to a foot injury I can't walk far, so any sort of heeled shoe is out and it's also meant I've put on a lot of weight - now a size 32! I'd like to wear something pretty and flattering, but I'm already stressing out about it The groom is my boss, and I don't want to let him down, all his family (and his brides family) are lovely and wouldn't want me to get wound up about it at all. Added to all this - it's got to be on a budget. Was hoping to keep some costs down by getting a 'fascinator' from Ebay to co ordinate with the outfit (whatever the outfit is.........)

ailsas mum Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I don't know what your budget is but there are some sales on in the following places Simply Be, Marisota, sorry I don't know what age you are but there's some nice stuff at 50 plus. Even if there's nothing there you want to buy they might give you ideas about what to look for. Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 have you looked on ebay for an outfit? you may be able to get something cheaper there? A dress or trousers would be suitable. We got married in Novemeber and it appeared comfort came first (which I'm glad of) in what people wore - they still looked lovely, but obviously didn't want to be cold! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K9Fran Posted August 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks for the lovely ideas peeps - off to have a look now (seems so odd to be looking at warm clothes in August, but I can't leave it to the last minute, I'm in enough of a panic about it as it is........)
