    Hello fellow boardsies :)Sorry for another wedding related thread! :o

    Going to a wedding the end of July. Getting stressed about finding a dress!

    Went shopping today and got this dress from Coast (Sorry the pic is big, if a mod could make it smaller that'd be great thanks). (£79 on sale)

    It's lovely, I did want a more colourful dress but my shape (Size 14 with big boobs)made most of the one's I tried on look awful! Started to get desperate when I found this. Not sure if I bought it because it was the best of a bad bunch though! Was thinking of pairing it with some colourful shoes (Green maybe) to brighten it up.

    It is flattering but because of my big boobs (34 GG) I think I may have trouble finding a suitable bra :(

    My dilemma is now this. In Oasis I bought this lovely dress.(£45) I think I like it more than the Coast one. It isn't as formal but it is more colourful, easier to wear (no miraculous strapless bra needed)and comfier. I could do plain coloured shoes to match (black maybe or I could feel crazy ;) )

    Do you think It's suitable for a wedding though? Which do you think I should go for? Don't want to be under dressed, I know some friends have already gotten Coast etc dresses. Agh decisions!

    Thanks in advance for any advice! :)

    The first dress is stunning but if you're not going to be comfortable in it then there's no point wearing it. You just won't enjoy yourself.

    The second dress is definitely summer wedding suitable in my opinion and if you are happy wearing it then go for it! Dress it up a bit more with some nice shoes and accessories and you'll look fab! :)

    The first dress is stunning, personally I'd go with that, but if you don't feel comfortable wearing it then don't wear it because you will be uncomfortable all day and you own't enjoy yourself.

    I personally don't like the second dress, I think it looks cheap, but that's just me. I wouldn't wear it to a wedding. But if you feel comfortable in it then you should wear it because if you wear something you aren't comfortable in, you won't enjoy the wedding and you won't want to look back in a few weeks/months thinking "I should have worn the other dress".

    A lot depends on the material of the second dress. If it is good material, with a bit of shape, then it could work with good shoes, a belt and mabe a nice short jacket for the formal part of the wedding.

    The first dress, although gorgeous, looks more like a night out dress than a wedding dress. And like other posters have said, if you're not entirely happy with it, then don't wear it.

    Thanks for the replies. :-) From opinions from friends and family everyone thinks the 1st dress is the one to wear :-) I do think it's the nicest one too so I'll just suck it up :-p I can wear the 2nd one to the day after party :-) sorted! Knew I could depend on my fellow boardsies :D Thanks again for taking the time to reply!
