What to wear dilemma

[*LittleMissSummer*]

Is it going to be warm? What about a maxi dress with a short cardi? That should also hide the 'Christmas baby'.

I'm with Nelle with this one, i reckon a nice maxi dress with a cardi and some flats. You'll look terrific and will be very comfortable and maxi dress's hide EVERYTHING

I have been looking at maxi dresses but I'm very short and can't find one that is able to be taken up. They all seem to have large patterns on them which sort of start around the hem and go up the dress, they would look odd with 30cm taken off the bottom. I am yet to find a plain-ish one.

Oh yeah that would be an issue if your not tall, sorry i assume everyones tall because im 5'9.. even a nice skirt and top with flats would look really nice as well.

Is black really bad for weddings? All my clothes are black. I'm gonna have to go shopping I think.

I wore all black to the last wedding I went to , but I was 6mths pg... I think it's ok to wear say, black pants, isn't it? If you have a different top?

Shoes, I would wear whatever you are comfy in, heels if you usually do, flats if you don't.

ahh.. the curse of the short people this season. I can't fit maxi dresses either. Not to mention my shape makes them look more like tents.

Black pants are fine, but I think a nice top (not black) has to dress it up. I also think guys shouldn't go a boring suit & white shirt, but dress that up too. Loose the tie, and wear a really snazzy shirt - there's so many good ones out there.

I had to get friends to specifically talk one of DH's mates out of wearing jeans. He still wore a horrible alcohol-brand tie... but I was happy it wasn't jeans & a polo shirt!

Tinks nothing wrong with wearing black to a Wedding ... i was thinking if it's kind of a casual feeling maybe they were hoping for more fun as in colours to wear (just a hunch) ... if you only have black to wear why not just add some colour with jewellery and maybe shoes that are not black (though that would be fine too)

Thanks Smiles! I always wear black, have done since I was a teenager. I don't even own colourful clothes

I'm going to go shopping tomorrow and see what I can find.
