I’ll be one of the reader din kc kaya medyo naghahanap na ko ngayon. saan ba magandang maghanap ng dress? gusto ko sana yung something unique. I have a inverted triangle body type, 5″4, fair complexion and medyo malaki yung arms ko. i really want to hide it.and one more thing violet and green motif nila do i need to buy a dress with the same shade? kc ayoko naman ng magmukhang kasama sa abay. sobrang naguguluhan na ko. please help me. really need your advice.

Thank you.

Dear anne,

For store reference, you can check my previous answers here [1,2].

Fashion-wise, you don’t have to literally follow the motif of the wedding but you can still have the motif shades on your outfit in some ways. Just be creative! For example, you can wear a green dress and black pumps then match your outfit with purple jewelries. Or wear a purple dress then tone it with a green headband and purse. This is to avoid looking like a part of the entourage. I’m sure the bridesmaids will wear green + purple: two colors in one gown so be dressed in something different:

I hope you get what I mean basing on the suggestions above. Regarding your figure problem, try to look for dresses with drape sleeves and details. I don’t discourage you to wear sleeveless but please avoid tube and halter styles. Also, I don’t think wearing a shawl is the answer.

Since you’ll be wearing striking solid colors for the wedding, just apply neutral make-up instead of using green or purplish shades so you won’t look overdressed.

No worries and enjoy planning until the said occasion.

Love Lots,

Leyn
