To wear black peg trousers to a summer wedding....

[DirtyDancing]

So off to a wedding in a couple of weeks. I'm 7 months post giving birth and still carrying a lot of my baby weight. I bought a nice and fairly expensive dress for my son's christening this weekend and looking back at the pictures my tummy looks like a barrel in it. I was bloody hot in it too as had to wear tights and shape wear to look half decent.

I can not be arsed to feel that uncomfortable again. And I still looked crap.
Look marginally slimmer in trousers, can hide my tum & feel cooler/ more comfy.

Is it U to wear black trousers to a summer wedding? Will team with a nice light colour summer top, heals and a hat still. They are smart peg ones, so ankle grazers.

I've only ever done dresses to weddings... Will I look out of place?

Wear your lovely dress, people are all shapes and sizes

Go with what you feel comfortable in. Lots of people wear black trousers to a wedding. Have fun!

[Reiltin]

The important thing is that you're comfortable so you can enjoy yourself. Go with the trousers

[tak1ngchances]

You cant really wear black trousers. They will be all wrong and you'll feel even worse then...
i would forgo the tights but wear spanx and fake tan your legs.

[thornyhousewife]

Black trousers can be totally acceptable. Be sure to wear elegant shoes and lots of jewellery. Have a great time!

[PiperRose]

Black trousers, heels and a hat.....oh so stylish. Go, look fab, be comfy and enjoy!

Black trousers would be totally fine if you dress them up enough (and aren't worried about the heat) but if I were you I'd wear your lovely new dress and not worry about it - you only gave birth 7months ago FFS, of course you won't feel yourself yet and that's absolutely fine and normal.

Have fun at the wedding :)

Weddings are the last bastion of being utterly traditional.
So while black trousers are perfectly aceptable, everyone will still look twice at a woman in trousers and you may not feel anymore comfortable.

I'm a lumpy 16 and I totally refuse to boil in shape wear (I have to big an arse for trousers to help at all).

Wear your lovely dress

Sorry, missed out the 'without all the uncomfortable underwear' part

[GreenPetal94]

its ok to just wear a summer dress and not look stick thin. I've been doing it for years.

But also, wear whatever you want to wear, clothes are not the key thing.

[AnnaLegovah]

My Mum wore black trousers to my wedding and nobody looked twice at her except to say how lovely she looked.

If you're not comfortable that will show more - wear whatever makes you feel good.

[PresidentSpreadable]

I've worn trousers to loads of weddings, nobody's ever 'looked twice' it's not the 1950s anymore.

Wear what you feel comfortable in, nothing worse than feeling uncomfortable when you should be enjoying yourself.

I'm sure you looked lovely in your dress really though.

I'd wear the dress but leave off the tights. I was at a wedding on Saturday bare legged as was virtually everyone else.

If you feel most comfortable in the trousers then wear them. No one will care what you wear as long as it isn't white, lacy and accompanied by a veil.
I have worn black trouser suits to weddings with a lovely lilac top and only ever had nice comments.

[FryOneFatManic]

I was at a wedding recently and a guest wore a satin vest top with black lacy shorts (and they were very short).

[specialmagiclady]

I am a trouser girl and regularly wear black trousers to weddings. Don't team with a white or cream shirt though or people will think you are waiting staff....

[magpiegin]

Wear what you feel most comfortable in. A couple of people wore trousers to my wedding and they looked lovely.

Black trousers are fine... But you would really need to dress them up in order to make it look like you had made an effort and hadn't just wondered out from work.

I'd just wear a summer dress and own the fact that you have looked better at other times in your life - you have a baby under 1, give yourself a break.

Slight issue with no tights- legs are now great, feet get sweaty & swell a bit. Also find legs rub together a bit if I'm honest. Could invest in some very light 7 denier tights from M&S

But sense that black trousers not totally U as long as I dress them up, avoid the white top waitress look, wear some stunning shoes.

Off to live off lettuce and water between now and the wedding..... whoops!
