size 12 and need a whole wedding outfit

please help!
I'm stuck in a rut after 2 dcs and none of my clothes fit me properly so need to buy something new for a wedding.

I'm quite tall, size 12, olive skinned and a v short dark hair. Still bf dc2 so it needs to have reasonably easy access!

budget is up to about £200 for everything. so who's up for a challenge? I'm hopeless at putting together a whole outfit so I need help with shoes, dress, hat/fascinator, jewellery, bag and wrap/warm layer

i want to look 'wow' and not 'frumpy' if at all possible!

thanks in advance Smile

I am same size and coloring but I have trouble to give any advice,
What age will be DC2? (i.e. is he going to BF every 2h or just once, do you need to hide the tummy area?)
Can you manage a dress?
do you want your legs on show?
skirt or pants? (probably easier so you can pull up the top to BF, but you will lose the wow)

Hmm, I'm going over budget, but how about this cream dress with a large floppy hat like this?

LeMouse...thank you! I love the "look like easy access" one but its out of stock :(
the style of the buttoned one was quite me too but not sure about the colour

for someone who has trouble giving advice, you've done a pretty good job to me!

to answer your questions
8mths so every 3/4 hours
yes to dresses
happy to get my legs out
prefer no to trousers but a maybe for a skirt

tethersend thank you but despite being over budget, not sure that's really smart enough. love the hat though!

Actually quite hard, there is a lot of nice dresses out there but button or wrap seems to be out of fashion so no easy access.

red
?
black
might slide for boob access
