Royal Garden Party

Through my work I’ve been invited to a Royal Garden Party so I’m just trying to find a dress to wear. Obviously it’s a once in a lifetime event so I’m looking for something quite fancy, definitely want to wear a hat/fascinator with it and don’t mind spending up to about £300 on the dress. I ordered a few from coast and have some more coming tomorrow, but I’m just looking for other suggestions too.

I’m a size 16/18 so I can’t get away with super tight dresses. I love an A-line dress and also I wouldn’t be comfortable with strapless.

I ordered this and loved it but unfortunately it’s too small and the next size up is out of stock. https://tinyurl.com/Blue-hi-low-dress

Ive also ordered:

(just to give an idea of my taste)

I’d love to see some other suggestions too though. I know the perfect dress is out there!!

Of thise the first is probably more suitable, not sure about off shoulders. Have you tried John Lewis for similar?
