Going to a wedding 3 weeks after surgery
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi
I know this is probably a really lame question, but it's doing my head in! I'm having an ACL reconstruction in 2 weeks and going to a wedding 3 weeks after that. I would normally wear a shortish dress and heels but I don't think I'm going to be able to as I think I'm still going to be in a brace. I'm thinking of wearing a maxi dress but no idea what kind of shoes to wear! It will need to be flats but I don't know what kind. I'm only 5ft 4in so I'm short anyway, so I don't want to look swamped in a long dress and flat shoes!
Has anyone else been to a dressy event soon after surgery and what did you wear?!
Thanks all!x

I speak from recent experience due to a deep vein thrombosis.
Alternatively take flat shoes with you to change into as and when.

I'm going to a black tie dinner dance thing soon and I'll still have a cane, so I've decided to make a feature of it and go black tie myself instead of a dress, sort of a burlesque dance hall type vibe, with a basque style waistcoat, cravat and one of those little top hat style fascinators. And of course my NHS grey cane will be decorated black and silver.
enjoying the event and not having it ruined by being in agony is the most important thing anyway.

Totally going to be wearing flats - just need to decide between maxi or mini!
