Help me, S&B gurus!

[JesusInACabbageVan]

I'm going to a wedding in Florida in three weeks. I have nothing to wear. Not even a clue of where to start. I need some help!

Wedding is formal, but not overly so. Weather will be HOT, but part of the wedding is indoors with ferocious air con. I will be over there for a few days beforehand so will be able to get a bit of a tan, but am generally fairish skinned with dark hair and light eyes. 5'8, somewhere between a 12 and a 14 with a mummy tummy (thanks, 10lb DS2 ). Decent legs. Average boobs.

Am thinking short, fun, not too mumsy but not tarty. Something easy to pack! Any thoughts?

Have just ordered this: www.frenchconnection.com/product/71XA8/Empress+Orchid+Dress.htm to try on - any thoughts?

Like look in sales thoug. That might give you sweat patches. I tried a nice maxi dress (I know) in Laura Ashley. Was grey with print at bottom. Normally hate la and maxis

I got (for Henley) a nice maxi skirt in blue stripes. Wire with white blazer and navy tank.

Felt good

Christ. It was this. How shit does it look?
It looked ok on in the shop

This was what I went for in the end (knew wouldn't wear again)
With cheap tank type top. Abd aforementioned blazer

Ooh they do it in blue too. m.johnlewis.com/mt/www.johnlewis.com/Shopping/Product.aspx?Type=LNE&Id=320506&source=46387

I like that maxi but can't do sleeveless. Arms look like hams

Skirt lovely, but I definitely want a dress for this.

Am hopeful about French Connection number. Would need new shoes though.

Now are you SURE? Take a pic. I can't believe they are that bad PLUsa you will Be in Florida fgs byoull be almost anorexic compared to the rest of them

The French Connection dress is gorgeous, hope it looks nice on!

What about this? With a black shrug to hide hammy arms (though I bet they're not)
Phase Eight

What about ...
Lace should be cooler but cover your arms m.johnlewis.com/mt/www.johnlewis.com/354308/Product.aspx

Sorry got carried away, am bed bound and bored

I have a bad case of those red spots on my upper arms, can't seem to shift them. Tried some Clarins thing that's meant to do it, but no luck. That and total lack of commitment to gym means hammy arms!

Love that last one with the cherry blossom, and the lace number from Phase Eight. I might nip down to Phase Eight in the morning as there's a silk dress I really want as well but noone has my size online. OR if I go to John Lewis I could look at the cherry number as well.....

Why bed bound, wonkylegs?

Cracked heal cream gets rid of the red spots, start using it now and they'll be gone in three weeks.

I tried that and it was helping, but then I was promised Clarins magic Will go back to cracked heel cream night and morning and see how we get on.

Low carbing gets rid of those arm bumps oh and pregnancy

Hmmmmm. I'm not that desperate MrsCB - two boys is quite enough......

Oh I said that and then had DD and you know smooth arms

I've hurt my hip and have been hobbling on crutches as I'm supposed to rest it whilst I wait for surgery. However I've overdone the hobbling and standing, sitting & walking even with crutches have been too much today so was sent to bed by dr husband, have had a kip post painkillers and only just read your reply sorry.
