How to dress a pear shaped size 16-18 figure for a wedding?

How do I find something to flatter and slim me a bit? Being overweight currently (very short at 5ft 3 so the pounds really show) means that my bottom is about 47 inches and my waist about 36, my bust is 40 inches. My legs are rubbish really so I need a knee length dress that will flatter and skim over the lumpy bumpy bits (including a bit of a belly). It seems to be hard to find something right now that is knee length and also something that doesn't have lots of pleats or a full skirt. I don't mind spending up to £50-60 for the right dress. I am quite pale with dark blonde hair so best to stay away from back but I do like navy/midnight blue. Arms aren't great so a bit of a sleeve a bonus.

Thanks :)

Stay away from black not back

If I could wear something like this I would be so happy. Damn my giant bottom!

I think something like this would be flattering but it is black! Will have a look for something navy!
