I love reading your advice about clothes and accessories for special occasions, now I've got an invitation to an evening wedding reception and hope you can help me, too!
I'm 34, 5'5" and just under 9 stone. Usually wear a big 8 or a small 10. I have a decent cleavage (with the right bra!), quite wide hips, and the classic 'mum tum'. If it's any help, I've had my colours done recently and am a 'winter'.
So.... I have a couple of dresses and I'm wondering if you can give me a yay or nay, and any ideas for accessories to make them feel more 'weddingy'?

I love the idea of an infinity dress like this tartcollections.com/lookbooks/the-infinity-dress and have found instructions to make one, but I'm running out of time, and would need to order fabric ASAP. Worried it might look home made though.
Money's pretty tight at the moment, so I'm on a bit of a shoestring budget. Can I accessorise something I've already got (have got about £40 Accessorize vouchers I could use) or can anyone suggest something lovely that's not too pricey (and not too short either!)??
You ladies are superstars, looking forward to your ideas!
