Am size 18, large boobs, and belly roll I can't shift so nothing to clingy over the tummy, or that goes in under the boobs and flooows so I look pregnant.
Dark hair, pale skin, I like muted colours, don't like being bright and attention grabby colourwise. Style is mostly toddler wrangling trousers and tops, maybe long skirts, don't really do knee length but could be persuaded.

weddings are evening do, not too dressy but need to look smart in august, and full day thing in october, in which I will need to be very dressy as DD's are flower girls.
Budget very small, could stretch to £100 for full outfit plus accesories, hence reason I want it to do both weddings, although I am trying to lose weight, so maybe it won't even fit me by October

any ideas?

I'm a very similar shape to you and find it impossible to find dresses to hide my terrible belly. I have just bought this dress to wear for my Dad's wedding in a few weeks. I know it's a bit over your budget, but you may find it in a sale or on ebay etc? If you see it, try it on - it was the most flattering one I could find!

By the way it is slightly below knee length on me (I'm 5ft2) and longer at the back - which I wasn;t convinced about initially, but it grew on me!

OOh, that is nice, I likey
I'm 5ft 9, fiorgot to mention that, so length might be an issueGrin I would still need shoes and bag etc though...might go and have a try on anyway though, thanks.

Anymore?
