Fancy helping me find a dress to wear to a wedding?

I'm going to a wedding later in the year, but it's abroad so it will still be quite warm. It occurred to me today that all the summer sales are in full flow so if I don't find a dress soon, I'll never get anything suitable.

The wedding is quite stylish, but not overly formal. I'd prefer something on the knee, fitted (but not clingy) and preferably with a bit of a sleeve. I'm quite curvy and very pale.

All suggestions welcome!

Oh, I don't know... Some communist armies are aware of style... or are they MumBoots? Grin

I went to a wedding recently, to which I had nothing to wear and a 5 week old baby. so I booked myself an appt with a personal shopper at debenhams. it's a free service and you get an hour and a half of relaxing in their changing rooms whilst they run around finding you your brief. I got a maxi dress including matching shoes and coordinating cardi. blooming brilliant

The Coast dress is purchased! Worried it's a bit unforgiving, but will hopefully be fine with the right underwear!!

The dress is perfect on WhiteDogBlackSpots ThanksThanks for linking to it!!

Now I need to decide on shoes and bag.

I actually have a bag from Coast that is a similar colour to the one the model is carrying with the dress, do you think I can get away with shoes the same colour. I've tried them on with it - they're the perfect height and shape, and I think they're ok but that could be because I'm having an expensive month and really don't want to buy another pair of shoes

But I do have some nice strappy high tan sandals...
