Need a dress for a wedding....soon!

Going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and I need to find a dress. Needs to be something I will definitely wear lots more as I'm skint and can't afford a fancy, posh frock which I'll never get chance to wear. Also, doesn't need to be really formal or smart as I'm only going to the evening reception, in a pub/hotel.
I'm 5'7, size 12, brown hair, age 30.

I like these....but not that much, what do you reckon? And what shoes? (can't wear heels!)

Any more suggestions very welcome

Budget very low though, under £50ish unless I LOVE the dress.

Hmm... I like the first striped one, but not the others.

How about:

DP

Peacocks

Peacocks again

Of your links I only like the 2nd one and when I say I like it I mean I really really like it!

As for tethers links it's a rare miss for me for the first one. The colours remind me of 70's wallpaper and it looks rather shapeless.

Love both of the Peacocks ones though.

Will have a mooch and report back.

Grin- I love 70s wallpaper.

I like the shape of the dp one but not the fabric/pattern, I think I would tire of it really quickly!

Quite like those Peacocks ones, might go and try them on as they might look really cheap and nasty in real life....I'm not made to be skint.
