My baby brother is getting married in a few weeks and I need a dress! He wants to have pics of just us siblings and then all of our family (think mom, siblings, inlaws, nieces/nephews).
Also, my BIL who is coming from out of state is a photographer so I talked him into taking family pics of me, dh and our girls since we usually have them done once a year anyway and we will be all dressed up!
The wedding colors are teal with accents of cream and charcoal. It's outside, 5:30p wedding at a country club place. The reception is indoors right after.
I am not in the wedding but since I will be in all the family pictures I wanted to coordinate. I was hoping for teal, charcoal or black. I am about a size 10 or 12 but have a ginormous chest. I see all these cute dresses but I have to be able to wear a regular bra. I would prefer knee length or so.
I tried on this one at Dillards but I don't think it is formal enough and my kids think the peplum is ridiculous!

Any ideas? !!!!-

I admit, I'm with your kids, to me the frill makes it look dated. I love the fitted style though.

I'm having a goofy break. Your title made me think Lady Gaga.
Carry on.

I can't get a picture to post, but Tadashi Shoji makes some cute dresses that might work. Try Nordstrom, Saks, or Neiman Marcus online.

Okay, now I've looked at the link. I admit I'm judging by news anchor/ meteologist guidelines but aren't peplums fashionable now? It looks tailored, but girly, same with the color, I like it and wish I had a bod that could still make it work!!
It seems like it will photograpgh well too. If a child is standing near your hip, it won't be too dated in the future.
You'll match wedding party but not look like you wanted to upstage or be part of it.

If you want peplum, I own this dress and it's very classy. |

I am the same size as you; also with a ginormous chest (but I am very short) and I think the peplum dress would look horrible on me. annabella Love that dress though  |

I worry about the aqua if one of the wedding colours is teal because you could end up having a different shade than the bridesmaids. I like this Sparkly blush dress from Rent the Runway.I also think you could do something Like this that has teal in it but wouldn't compete with the bridesmaids. |

My friend is getting married next month and picked that dress for the bridesmaids. Not my style at all, but thankful it was cheap. |

jeremysgirl you rent online and they ship it to you on whatever date you request. They provide a pre-paid envelope to return it back and a free second size of the dress.

I tried on something similar at Dillards and the color was just kind of blah but it wasn't nearly as sparkly. |

I think it looks really nice to be honest. I'm having a hard time finding a dress for a 5 pm July wedding in the south, with larger breasts, and about 5 months pregnant too. Ugh can I just unRSVP...lol

Ugh can I just unRSVP...lol Could you wear something with this sort of shape so that it doesn't matter how big or small your baby bump is at that stage? I remember going to a wedding when I was pregnant and I didn't want to buy something expensive that I would never ever wear again. |

I've been using rtr for years. Badgley Mischka is my favorite designer. I wore this set to a charity event last month. It was my first time wearing a crop top but looking at the customer photos I saw a variety of sized women pulled it off. I normally like bright colors so that was something different for me. I wore this dress to my birthday. These were no occasions rentals: link and link |

I like that customers can upload their photos so you can see how it looks in real life. I have a wedding in Nags Head next month, I think I need to look for something beach wedding appropriate! |
