Need help with dress!

edited February 2014 in June 2013 Moms
My brothers wedding is in 5 weeks and I need help deciding what dress to rent or buy.
I'm plus size, and have a spoon/figure 8 shape.

My brothers wedding colors are teal and fuchsia, and will be over-the-top and glamorous. I would like to be cohesive with their theme, since i'll be in pictures with everyone. All the bridesmaids are wearing long dresses too. 
 

 Bonus points if you can give me advice on how to wear my hair and accessories.

    You say you're plus size and an hourglass figure, but do you have a tummy at all? I ask because that description fits me as well, but now that I'm rocking the mummy tummy option number 3 would look awful on me. But I think that option 4 could be really flattering. Option 2 could be equally unflattering as 3, but for different reasons. I voted number 4.
    Not so much a tummy, but hips have gotten wider. I don't own anything peplum, so idk how it'll look on me. Maybe i'll go to the mall and try on something similar.

    ok, I still pick 3! peplum can be very flattering!!

    ETA: unless you are IN the wedding, I dont think you should "match" them. black is good, its glamorous, slimming, and goes with everything!
    I get what your saying. I'm not trying to be matchy matchy- I just wanted a similar color and she suggested I wear a long dress too. Last time I wore a long dress was for my wedding...I always wear short dresses. lol

    4! I also wouldn't stray from strapless if I'd be carrying a baby, just personal preference.
    She'll be at the ceremony, but by then I think she'll be walking. If not, DH can hold her while I look glamorous. lol

    I like 1 and 3. I think two looks like you are part of the bridal party and 4 just not my taste. I like 3 that it hides the fluff, but also depends on how it fits your curves. I am size 16 and 12 prior to LO, and sometimes I try this look and its way not cute. I like 1 because you have the option of black or a nice shade that suits your tone. I personally would stray away from the bridal party or wedding colors.

    I like 3 or 4. How do you like renting. I have some dress-up charity things I'll be going to with DH this year. Renting would be nice, so I could get something different every time.

    I've never rented, but I've heard good things about the site.

    I think i'm leaning towards 4 too...I see all the pictures of everyone, and they all look awesome. I think I might be able to pull it off. If not, I can just return it, give an excuse and buy a dress.

    I've rented 4 dresses from rent the runway and it's been a good experience each time.  This last time, one of the dresses had a broken button.  I had ordered a back up dress as well so I wasn't worried, but when I called them they were super nice about it and offered to overnight another dress.  Instead I just asked them to refund my money.  Their customer service is great.
