Very Skinny

Written by Bronny   
Hello Bronny

I am 16 and weigh 89pounds, my height is 5'5" and I have a big issue finding party outfits.  On September I am invited to an afghan wedding where every one like in ever other wedding wear dresses.  But I have a problem with that coz I am too skinny.  I don’t know what else to wear.  Do you have any tips?  If yes please help me out.

ANSWER

Dear Hoorya,

At 16 your body is still developing and so like I was at that very age you are very skinny! This is actually a great thing as it means you can really wear whatever you want. At 5.5 you’re not overly tall so my suggestions for a party outfit that makes you feel and look fabulous for the Afghan wedding would be to opt for a pair of tailored trousers instead of a dress.  When you say that you have a problem with the dress code being dresses is this because you feel you are too thin to wear a dress?  I would actually say that you can never be too thin to wear a dress! There are some beautiful dresses around at the moment. If you concern is that you think you look too thin in a dress then I would suggest wearing one of the many fun styles that are so popular at the moment, you could wear a pinafore, a bubble dress or even one of the very cute pocket dresses. Given the eighties are so in at the moment you could even wear something that was a little bit ‘prom’ esque, swearheart neckline, spaghetti straps and drop straight from under the breast. If you opt for a dress that billows out as in the baby doll style, this actually looks great on skinnier girls. Here’s a couple of looks to get you started in figuring out your wedding look.

- Dress 1
- Dress 2
- Dress 3
- Dress 4

Celebrate your thinness! Don’t be shy, and rethink the party dress idea. As you can see from each of these gorgeous celeb pics, a heel will give you height, a party dress will make you look fab – but confidence will top off your outfit!

Be sure to come back to the clotheshorse and tell us what you wore to your party.

Love
Bronny
