Am going to old friend's wedding at the end of March, at Bloomsbury Lanes. I need a frock. Budget isn't huge and I am CRAP at putting outfits together. Also I need comfy shoes Blush

Have seen these two dresses ...

[http://www.asos.com/French-Connection/French-Connection-Summer-Meadow-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2774339&SearchQuery=French%20Connection%20Meadow&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Bluethornbalmblue Dress A]] from French Connection

Dress B from Boden

Think I prefer the first one but have no idea what to wear with it or even what colour shoes. Second is a bit more boring but thought it might lend itself to a wide belt and some brightly coloured shoes? Shoes would need to be wide fit and low heel or flat as I can't do heels any more and DH is a shortarse

Am about 5 foot 5 and a size 14 if that makes a difference to answers.

Help me, wise MNers Wink

I'd prob go for B, just for quality. A looks a bit flimsy and like it would hang badly, but is poss more flattering neckline?

With B, I'd go for a v chunky necklace, maybe like this, simple plain shoes, and a cardigan with a skinny belt in a bright colour.

Orrrrr... Perhaps belt a cardigan with a heavily decorated collar?

Or a chunky Chanel-type knit cardi/jacket, with a brooch at the waist gather.

Any good?

There's quite a lot of turquoise accessories around at the mo, wouldn't be hard to find a cardi, belt or bracelet that went with it.
Or you could contrast it nicely with fuchsia or purple.
