Hardest wedding guest outfit challenge EVER- my eternal gratitude and unctuous sycophancy will follow you always if you can help...

[BitOfFun]

I have very hermit-like tendencies at the moment after months and months of a really nasty attack of psoriasis. I have cried off meet-ups, family christenings and even Sunday lunches out because I cannot bear to be out in public or anywhere near a camera. It is basically neck-to-ankle, and I've got a bit fat from staying in too much and drowning my sorrows about it.

I have a wedding to attend at the end of the month that I simply CANNOT get out of, and nothing to wear, and not much money.

SO- Can you help me find something cool and smart for a short plumpy (size 14ish) who can't show any skin except possibly a blob of head at the very top?

I realise that this thread is unlikely to attract the most ardent fashionistas after I have made myself sound so repulsive, but I would welcome any ideas at all from anyone

Budapest in August equals very hot and sweaty, so you will need something cool to wear.

Tell me about it- we went last year and I was melting

When I worked there I used to go from one end of the town I worked in to the other via every shop that had air conditioning.

Ooh, whereabouts were you based? Our friends have got an amazing apartment five minutes from the Elizabeth bridge- we are staying for nothing because we are doing a bit of decorating for them. I love Budapest- it's so beautiful.

I wa sin a town about an hour away called Gyongyos, but used to go in fortnightly for the weekend.
