Help! I don’t know which dress to buy!
I saw Kung-Fu Panda last night. It's a great film! Way better than we dared hope :-) Of course it always helps if you go in expecting it to be complete crap... ;-)
Anyway, to important matters: One of my best friends is getting married and I need a dress... You can't find anything pretty in my size in the shops round here. The message I get is 'Large people should wear tents.' Maybe they hope we'll put more effort into dieting...
So I've been looking online. And I've found some I like, one or two of which might even be suitable for a wedding ;-)
Now please PLEASE help me!!! What do you think of them:
- I like it, but I'm a bit worried about the straplessness... Although come to think of it, my chest's big enough to hold any dress up. I've stood my bottle of water on it before... (don't ask)
- This is one of my favourites. I think I look ok in blue. (But what on earth is a 'smocking dress'?!)
- I like the one with the blue pattern. But it's probably too formal. And mainly black...
- Like all of these, but again black and very formal...
- From the same place as the last two, so again, maybe too formal. But the pink one's not so black ;-)
- I quite liked this one initially, but I seem to gone off it. There are lots of prettier dresses out there, right?
- Quite like this one, except for the sleeves: a) the wedding is in August so it's likely to be quite warm and b) I sweat anyway, so a large dark patch is certain to develop there, and c) I'd probably find that my arms are fatter than is normal for women my size (there's alway something) and the sleeves wouldn't fit...
- Like this one. Red's one of my favourite colours :-)
- This one's kind of pretty, but I'm not sure. Lacy? Hmm...
- Cute colour, nice dress. Nothing special though.
- I like this one. Very nice.
- This one is also very pretty. I'm just not sure such a light colour suits me...
- The black version of the last one. Love it. But black for a wedding?
- Yay, red! Don't know what to think of the pattern on the bust though, especially since I can't make it out properly.
- Pretty. And from a Swiss shop, so easier. But again, black?
- Not sure about the colour of this one. It looks good on her. But I'm probably too pale to bring it off... And there's the straplessness again ;-)
- Another of my favourites. Problem is that there's a ten week order time, the wedding's in six weeks and I'd probably need to get it fitted too...
- Pink! (Ok, fushia, whatever!) I love the colour! And the rest is not bad either (except for the half cut off head...)
- My absolute favourite! I completely and utterly adore it. I'm just not sure it's suited for a wedding. Is it? I think I'll have to buy this one anyway, even if I don't wear it to the wedding and even though I don't actually wear dresses. This dress is worth the discomfort of dress-wearing :-D
So those are the candidates. Now PLEASE HELP ME!!! I'm useless at decisions!
Thanks very much!
