Tried on more than 40 dresses today...

[Mombojombo]

They were all shite. Well. They may not have been, but they all looked like a sack of crap on me because of my great stinking honking busticles (30HH)...

I may have to face the fact that... (and I can barely bring myself to type this)... I will have to wear the same dress to 2 summer weddings this year - I KNOW! The shame! It is my personal policy never to wear the same dress to more than 1 wedding. Facebook ruins everything.

Where should I look? I did everywhere on Oxford St, so all high street and dept store concessions, couple of vintage shops. Nada that didn't either gape at the armpits cos I have to size up to accommodate the boobage, or not do up because I didn't.

I don't like Pepperberry, and I won't do jersey to a wedding. I like DRESSES - proper, printy, bold, any shape you fancy but robust and non-flimsy dresses. Size 12-14, hooters we know about, hourglass figure.

What shall I dooooOOoooo?

Although you said you don't like jerseys for formal evens, sometimes sadly there isn't a lot of choice and I know that all too well :( I don't like Pepperberry either, I find them too pricey and will not pay that much for 1 item. The only other alternative would be to buy something you like in a bigger size and have it altered everywhere else. I have been thinking of doing this and learning how to alter clothing myself.
