Ok girls I desperatly need your help. Im going to my brothers wedding in Aug 4 (abou 2 weeks away)

I need to know if this is the right dress for me ?

I have never wore a dress in my life so I dont really know what looks good on me.

Its going to be a small wedding. Park setting, and a small reception (during the day)

Can you please give me some advise......

Ps: I have a really tight budget. Since the wedding is 4 hrs from where I live and I have to pay

for lodging, gas, etc.

Thanks , kathy

I forgot to mention the shoes on the pic are not the ones I am wearing ....

I like the dress, I think it looks good on you. One thing that I always do myself if wear good "foundations". I love my spanx...

I use this under fitted dresses... http://spanx.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10918465&cp=2992553.11308615&parentPage=family

You're gonna rock it!

Looks great!

I think the dress is too tight. The shiny fabric is going to reflect the light & make you look heavier in photos, too. I'd look for something in one size up. Lace, chiffon, crepe fabrics will flow over your curves.

Also, with your complexion I'd go with a color (hot pink and turquoise would make you look absolutely radiant) rather than silver/grey or black.

I don't know where you live but have you ever looked at Goodwill? I live in the suburbs of Miami and our Goodwills around here have incredible stuff. I got my band 2 years ago and have gone from a size 20 to a size 6 and Goodwill has been my savior because I could find nice clothing (banana Republic, Ann Taylor, etc) in very good condition (sometimes still has the tags on it) for $5 or less a piece. Who wants to spend a bunch of money when you're only going to wear the item for a couple months, right?

They usually have a great selection of formal and semi-formal gowns and dresses as most people ony wear these items once or twice.

Love the dress! You'll look beautiful.

I think it is very pretty, how proud of yourself you must be!!!! Try one of those one piece girdle things and see if you like that.

I have the same exact one (not wearing it on the pic because I was just trying out dress)

So I think with the spandex on I would look even better.

Thanks for your comment

Beautiful figure

Love the dress

but... I don't like how it bunches up.

Spanks might fix that tho.... very pretty

Have fun!

I know what you are saying about the color. My husband did not like the color either. The color of the wedding is turquoise so I was looking for something neutral to blend in. The dress was very inexpensive $20 @ Burlington. (But I still need shoes)

I can never find good looking and comfortable shoes. I love to wear high heels but I dont know how to walk with them. Does anyone recommend Dr. Scholls products???

The dress is actually a size 16 and is not tight at all. It might look tight because im not wearing the proper undergarments at the time the pic was taken.

Thank you so much for your feedback....I really appreciate it!!!!

Thats the way the dress is made. Bunches up on the sides. I thought that detail might take focus away from my lower abdomen. Am I wrong?

But you are right I HAVE to wear my spandex!!!

Oh..... ya, I see that now.

No, you are right. All the "shows" say that hides or takes away from flaws. Ruching???? I think it is called.

You only paid 20.00? Wow, looks way more expensive.

Yup... I'd wear it!

I love it! I would also say if you are not used to wearing heels, just buy a pair of dressy flats or the 1" or less heels. I wouldn't want to test high heels on such a big day

Love it! Just add a splash of color with jewelry & shoes and you're good!

I love it. ANd rock some stiletto's, I don't care how uncomfortable they are. They are worth it!

If its a park wedding, also have a look out for heeled wedges, which will save you sinking into the grass.

Wedges will give you the height and can shift the way you carry your weight when you walk to also help you look fantastic on the day.

And as an added bonus, the extra stability will help get over the fear of heels and often save your feet if your standing, walking or dancing alot on the day.
