I've got a wedding to go to next month, problem I've got is that money is low and I'm pregnant. I wouldn't have thought I'll have a substantial bump by then, but would prefer a bit of leeway. I'd also like to not buy maternity wear because I am never getting pregnant again and it would be nice to have a posh frock I could wear more than once.

I'm think 50's circle skirt style would be best?

My style is goth/rockabilly/vintage, but would prefer to avoid black. And I'm a size 16 with large boobs who could really do without strapless or short skirts.

I love Vivien of Holloway et al, but they can be a bit expensive. Would prefer under £50 if at all possible.

Any ideas? Any brands you've tried and like?

I've never had one from there but there are some lovely 50's style ones on eBay that are I. Your budget. Can't link as I'm in my phone but the seller blackbutterfly.bb has loads.

Voodoo Vixen do some loooovely dresses that could be right up your street - very fifties and around £30-£45

I can't link to them properly but click on the Voodoo Vixen summer collection here:

Do you know how short the Voodoo Vixen ones are? I've got some Hell Bunny dresses which are lovely but far too short for a wedding

Voodoo Vixen are respectable knee for circle skirts/below knee for pencil. Hell Bunny are pretty short on comparison, you're right!

That was terrible English, I apologise. I mean Voodoo Vixen's circle skirts are about knee length and the pencil skirts are the classic just below knee length.
