I'm heading to a wedding with a new man i'm seeing. I don't know anyone and want to look fabulous. And of course, i'm 30 pounds heavier and have no idea how to dress my body.

I have a kimono dress with an empire waist and a trapeze dresss. It's a fairly causal event, tie but no jacket. The trapeze dress is definitely fancier but i'm worried i look like an elephant. With my dark features I look pretty dressed up in anything so i'm more worreid about being too formal than too casual.

HELP! Thoughts?

Well, seeing as I don't know how tall you are, what size etc I can't properly help, but I personally like empire line dresses and find them most flattering. I'm not sure what a trapeze dress is.

I went to a wedding last week, and I wore quite a fitted dress, and had a ribbon round the empire bit to emphasise my small(ish) waist and my boobs!

I'd say go for empire line, get some pretty jewelery and wear some heels.

How do you carry your weight? If you carry a lot of it in your stomach, an empire waist is a bad idea, it's going to look like a maternity dress. I think we need pics!

Pictures would be helpful. I'm picturing a Trapeze dress like a big tent. Sorry, not the fashion goddess you hoped for. I think if I had a choice to go over dressed or under dressed, I'd go for overdressed. Try to play it down with casual accessories and sandals, maybe? Maybe a shopping for a new dress is in order, too? Shop the sales or cheaper stores. Even consignment.

Can you post a pic of yourself, or of someone with a similar body type? would help a LOT!! Some dresses are more flattering, some, depending on your bust size, can tank.

if the kimono is a V neck, I'd say no... if the trapeze dress is shortish, I'd say no. weddings, IMO, require modest length
