Hi all
Short and rounded figure lol!
Looking for a dress. Budget nothing over £80.
I'm 12-14 top, 16 bottom. Weight mainly on by belly.
I like long sleeve, half sleeve on right dresses but not necessary. No halters or strapless. Would do top and trousers. Just glam top that feels wedding guest. X

With jewellery and metallic shoes/bag i think that would be dressy enough but also weddingy?

It sounds like a fitted top half which flows out to a circle skirt could work for you. What about something like this:
