Thanks!<br /> Thanks for all of the suggestions, bees! Feel free to keep them coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1702631 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:00:49 +0000 bunnylove08 1702631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love the 2nd polka dot dress, i feel it fits the venue. My second choice is your 3 link, orange maxi </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1702593 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:45:16 +0000 MrsKoala 1702593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go with the purple maxi if I had to choose from the options you provided. The venue calls for something a little less dressy but the length and pattern of the dress keep it from being too casual. </p> <p>Although if you have a large chest, the straps for that maxi aren't too bra friendly so I'd maybe go with something similar but with thicker straps.

Any suggestions? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1701925 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:22:49 +0000 jessibear 1701925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RTR is a great suggestion. I'll take a look. </p> <p>I am really, really open to other suggestions, the dresses I linked to are just ideas of what's caught my eye. I really don't think any of them are the dress I'll end up with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1701917 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:15:33 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1701917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the yellow maxi. I'd do a fancy sandal or wedge in a neutral color and a clutch in a neutral or contrasting color/pattern blue or purple?) </p> <p>You can also look at Rent the Runway. Tons of fancy dresses for under $150! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1701914 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:14:20 +0000 meredithNYC 1701914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you considered Rent the Runway? I have had good luck with them, as have several friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1701910 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:11:15 +0000 Meowkers 1701910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the polka dot dress and the purple and orange maxi. The maxi being my favorite. For either I would go with nude heels and and gold accessories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1701897 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 21:03:23 +0000 jessibear 1701897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, looks like I finally figured out technology. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-dress-me-for-a-wedding#post-1701876 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 20:40:47 +0000 jessibear 1701876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may end up being a triple post, I'm having a heck of a time getting my posts to show up. Sorry, if so!<br /> DH and I are attending a wedding this summer at this place: <a href="http://www.ecreekpotteryandtearoom.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ecreekpotteryandtearoom.com</a><br /> It's a 5:30 wedding and reception to follow. I am struggling with what to wear. I would love a maxi so I don't have to worry about my dimpled thighs. I have a larger chest, so ideally I wouldn't go strapless, but it's not completely ruled out. I also need to figure out shoes. And accessories. And a bag. Sigh.<br /> I love color and prints, but should probably avoid anything too blousy/drapey due to my chest. </p> <p>Here are some of the dresses that have caught my eye, but I'm having trouble figuring out what best suits the event. I'd like to spend $150 or less.<br /> <a href="http://bit.ly/UEyk5I" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/UEyk5I</a><br /> <a href="http://bit.ly/1sh78Zr" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1sh78Zr</a><br /> <a href="http://bit.ly/1p86yaT" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1p86yaT</a><br /> <a href="http://bit.ly/1p6tyZy" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/1p6tyZy</a></p> <p>I'm really all over the place. I have a bit of lower-tummy fluff left from having C that I'd like to minimize/disguise. Help!! I'm so bad at this. I always end up going too casual.</p> <p>ETA: Alternatives are EXTREMELY welcome! </p>
