This month we have 4 very different questions from 4 lovely women. We go from Winter coats, how to style loafers and socks to Summer wedding outfits, so I take you through all the seasons!

If you want your dilemmas sorted, then please comment at the bottom of this post and I’ll add it to my list of questions.

The first question is from Karen, who is asking about wedding guest outfits…

I know this is early but I am going to a gorgeous wedding next April and want to know if you have any tips of outfits

I am an apple bottom and a soft pear upwards size 16/18 have been told but a reputable stylist that a line dresses , dresses that flare from the bust and straight trousers would be good for me

I just cannot seem to find anything so please HELP!

Hi Karen. That’s so exciting, I love a good wedding. I’m not sure if it’s a UK based wedding or abroad or what style you like, but i’ll give you some ideas of dresses.

Your stylist was absolutely right. Straight leg trousers are great for a rounded tummy and bottom and while I agree somewhat on the flared dress style. You can also wear a more structured top as long at the flare or A-line starts from just below the bust or ribcage.
