Anyone have clothing experience?

My 21 yr old son is getting married in 22 days. I am not a BIG person, however, I have had TWO baby GIRLS in the last TWO years and I am 39, and my body is nowhere back to normal and I need to figure out what I am going to wear to his wedding. I am about 5′3″ with a large bust but very uncomfortable with that. I AM way under 200# but have anxiety about my appearance. Need some slenderizing tips!!!!!!!!! Please help. Pictures a must!

what i mean by pics are “of someone who is short with a big bust but not a “fatass”"

if you go to a great place to buy your dress, they’ll help you. but you’re gonna have to go to a high quality store and be willing to pay more. you’re the mother of the groom and deserve to look stunning as well. (i’m getting married soon too and i def. want my mom to be a hot mama!)

i also like to watch what not to wear with a pen a paper. i look for girls who are about my size, height, and build (i’m busty as well) and i write down tips. Then i take them with me when i go shopping. it might sound dorky, but it helps alot!

it’s also good to take that really honest friend with you. not the one who tells you that you look nice with everything you try on. take the one who will tell you it doesn’t look good, or to go up/down a size and so on! she might annoy ya in the store, but you’ll be grateful later!

don’t try to lose a substansial amount of weight before the wedding either…. that’s not a healthy thing to do. don’t starve yourself.

I take my girls for a daily walk, and eat lotsa greens and protein but my body is somehow not letting go of anything due to the fact that I am still nursing and THINKS I am still pregnant. Don’t want to ZAP pounds in a hurry, just want to figure out what to wear to help slenderize!!!!

that’s what “what not to wear” is all about. i know empire waists are great to help the apperance of a slim down, but with being busty, you have to be careful where it sits.

you could always consider one of those tummy tucking pantyhose. or a corset thing under your dress. no one will know that you’re wearing them and they help make you look tight

You could try a slimmer, which won’t necessarily slim to down so much as firm up your waist and hips so that fabric will sit ‘better’.

There have been in the past some sun dresses I’ve always appreciated them because they have a more tailored look to them about the waist.

I love my sundresses.
