Formal Wear for Wedding

Written by Bronny   
Dear Bronny,

I have a tall (5'8") slender body approx 110lbs. Please help me with fashion advice on formal wear for a wedding.

Thank you

Dear Isha,

Wow 5’8 and only 110lbs!  You sound like you are as slim as a model and just a tall, how fabulous.

Which means (prepare for the drum roll), you can wear just about anything you like.  I think you could opt for a gorgeous vintage gown for a wedding. Because you are slim you will be able to fit into some of these beautiful creations, and secondly they will look stunning on you and be very flattering.

I would go for something floor length, perhaps little straps, a bit of sparkle and a heel to give you another inch. Divine!

Alternatively you could go for the very now, shorter look or even a dress to the knee with an exposed décolletage which your find build would suit very much.

Here are a few dresses I found to inspire you - click on the links to see the dresses:

A simply gorgeous Anna Sui dress from Net-A-Porter.com

A gorgeous Vera Wang creation – I can just see Carrie from SATC in this – can’t you? Upswept hair, super heels – stunning.

And finally a floor length dress for inspiration, this one from Tibi!

Surf around this fabulous Vintage store for more inspiration on some great frocks that would suit you:

If the prices on these dresses is too expensive, simply use them as a guide for what you can wear and then hit the department stores to find something that will suit!

Do pop onto the Clotheshorse and show us what you eventually go with.

Love
Bronny
