Size 16/18, 5ft2 and a wedding!

[RoaryMouth]

Help! I have two weddings to attend in the next couple of months and I don't want the pretty dress with cardi/bolero outfit. I have huge arms and legs (even when down to a size 12) and a neater waist so need something that covers the arms and knees. Big ask if it has to be fashionable as well! Still have a lot of baby weight and flabby belly.
Cheers.

I've raved about my Pied a Terre slinky knot dress several times before but will do so again here! Mine is plain midnight but here it is half price and in a pattern.

I am 5ft 0 and size 16 and this is the most flattering dress i've ever owned, comes to just below the largest part of my calf, wore with v v high heels.

Yes, that dress is well known for it's utter fabulousness and ability to flatter. If you like it even a tiny bit and can afford it it you must try it on.

Oh, not seen the patterned versions before, like the floral but not the blue. The plain ones are much nicer IMHO and probably worth twice the price 'cause they;d take an age it date.

(Actually the blue is really growing on me)

Might might you like this sort of style with a cropped cardigan? Very flattering but not so pricey.

It's sold out now, but might be a good style for you, long sleeved with a twist front to hide the tummy a bit. I have some similar ones bookmarked, can list after I've had my dinner if you like.

I am a very similar shape to you. Try dresses like these www.houseoffraser.co.uk/women%27s+designer+dresses/301,default,sc.html?prefn1=Style&prefv1=Fit%20%26%20Flare%20Dress

Thanks guys. The Pied a Terre is lovely, I'm liking the blue with sleeves. Also the Mary Portis dresses look fab. Now have a full online basket!
