Going to a big wedding in May and really struggling to find a long or 3/4 sleeved dress that doesn't look frumpy.
Does anyone know any websites I could check out?
Would be grateful for any dress suggestions too.

I'm 50 and a size 12, open to most styles, apart from bodycon.
Sleeves are a must due to Psoriasis.

Debenhams have some lovely ones at the moment, I was having a mooch earlier today. I particularly like this one, you could always pin the sleeves. http://m.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod1070111000154488+0456473555-1

That's the sort of shape I had in mind Dreaming
Not too figure hugging, don't want to spend entire day sucking my stomach in.

Don't mind what colour, although I look drained in black.

This is beautiful, esp if you have nice legs to show off. Slightly over budget, but look for a blue cross sale day type event to bring it down

Really like the vintage style Astro suggested but not sure colour will suit me, I'm very pale. What do you think?

The vintage dress is lovely, but I am also pale and I think I would look washed out in it. I also think it wouldn't flatter curves and I know the lack of natural fibres would irritate my skin

astros dress is lovely, but you couldn't wear a bra, which would take it out of the options for me.
