One for the girls please - Emergency wedding outfit??!

another question

Hi everyone,

I'm in a dilemma. I have a wedding to go to on Friday and I have nothing to wear. Basically over the last two months or so I have ordered a total of 3 dresses all from Asos, each one has been a disaster including the one that arrived this morning (they sent the wrong one), the second one was way, way too long and a dress maker says because its shiffon she wouldn't recommend cutting it, and its very fine so I'd have to agree with her and as for the first one, well it was too small with no bigger sizes available.

Soooo, I'm a young female, roughly a size 8, what can I do, would I get away with a skirt/top combo, seens as I have no dress alternatives at the moment. Stressseddd oooutttt!

Do you have a plain navy or black shift or skater style dress that you could just put some pink or cream shoes and accesories with, then get your hair done to dress it up.

Oh forgot to say, don't think a skirt and top combo would work unless you are just going to the afters? Then you would get away with it

I just so didn't want to wear black, I always wear black, my wardrobe is full of it. Getting tan, curly blowdry and eyelashes done anyway so hopefully I will look like I have made some sort of an effort. I only have two dresses, both black, neither of them are suitable.

Where do you live? We might be able to point you in the direction of a shop, if we knew where you lived.

In Sligo, been in every shop I can think of! But fire away if you have any suggestions, weddings in Dublin though but the likes of Caris Closet etc in Malahide is out of the way and won't have time to go into town or anything.

What age are you? What is you figure like? What is you usual style? Have you time to travel to a near by town or shop in Dublin a few days before the wedding? Could you borrow a dress from a friend?

What accessories have you already? It's one thing to find a dress but it's another to accessorise a dress.

I'm 24, size 8/10, athletic kind of figure, broadish shoulders but other wise generally straight up and down...if that makes sense, about 5ft 5".

I don't drive, no chance of getting to a nearby town, never thought of borrowing something actually...I'll have a think...thanks.

Thanks for those links, you're very good, I actually like the second one...

another question

In terms of accessories, I have nude shoes, coral shoes, peep toes, strappy cream sandals, A gold sequin clutch bag, selection of pearls, diamond silver earrings, matching bracelet, some gold stuff, a gold and steel mixed rotary watch, that's about it really...I don't have much in the line of clutch bags as I have an expensive LV wallet that I use for everything, it always looks well so I never tend to buy clutch bags...but I'm afraid I'll lose it on this occasion

If you have a nice black dress wear it with the coral shoes and maybe pick up a colour bag. Or go back into Sligo town today and look again. New stock comes into shops all the time. Ring around friend who might let you borrow a dress.

OP have you a blazer? It's quite cold. You may need one.

dee_mc

Definitely try Tk Maxx again if you're in Sligo town, or at least ring and ask if they've new dresses in stock since last time you were there, they get new stock delivered every day afaik

Pee Bee

Oasis and Warehouse do next day delivery in Ireland now as far as I know....they have some lovely dresses.

At this stage I wouldn't advise buying anything else online incase you don't like the dress, it doesn't fit or it arrives late.
