1pageatatime Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 My AdorAble niece is getting married in two weeks.:D She is LDS, so we only attend the reception.;) She has chosen an evening, dinner reception at her parent's home in the mountains. It will be outside, dressy-but not formal. Here is my fashion challenge. I cannot wear heals, so I'm thinking ballet flats.:confused: I've gained 20 lbs in 6 mos-mostly settled around my middle and chest. Since I'm 5'4", and small boned, I feel quite heavy.:glare: What kind of dress/skirt to wear that will look nice with the limitation of ballet flats?:confused: I'm a visual person, so links would be great!:001_smile: TIA!

godsaggie Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I think your best bet is a long skirt. I have a similar build/size as you. I love my broomstick skirt. It can be casual or dressy depending on what type of blouse I wear. Here is one that might help with your visual: http://www.lanebryant.com/plus-size-dresses-skirts/view-all/embellished-crinkle-skirt/4031c17320p141523/index.pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3browneyedboys4me Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I agree with the broomstick skirt. I actually just bought a black broomstick dress that is adorable. I'm 5'4 too. I think they are really cute and can be dressed up or down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgo95 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 What about a pair of dressy flat sandals? Black sandals White sandals Gold sandals Then you could pair it with a knee-length dress that emphasizes a high waist right under the bust line and flares away. Blue dress Or this one with a belt to define your waist visually. Belted dress Or if you really like ballet flats, how about this flared skirt with a top that draws attention to your bOOks like this ruched knot top?

Ellie Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 There are no rules on what to wear for the reception. :) I would probably not wear a full-length dress, but any kind of dressier dress or pants will be fine, whatever looks good with the shoes (I like ballet flats, too).
