I have 3 weeks until a wedding and I have no outfit. .. please help me!

I am 5ft 8 in, size 14 apple, good legs but bit of a tum I also have to have my arms covered, dark reddish brown hair, Blue eyes and very pale skin

Budget about £150.

I have literally tried on 50 dresses and I look shit in all of them, what am I going to do? I look pretty good in a jumpsuit (I know, they are a bit 1970s) but seem to suit my body shape, thing is I can't find one suitable for a wedding they all look like something you would wear on a night out...

Any help from you S&B folks?

I like that. You could get a nice bright jacket to go with that.

I expect black is not really suitable..... but THIS is nice & quite smart.

Love THIS one - but it's bright red, so not sure whether you'd want to wear it to a wedding.

Sorry!

Actually, the more I look at the red one the more I like it.

I am only 5ft 2 so it would swamp me :(

I've got this and it's lovely and very flattering - you could wear it with a jacket, I wore it on its own for a summer wedding and with a fancy silk cardi for a spring christening this year. The only bugger is that you have to get undressed to your bra and pants to have a wee.

emsyj · 11/09/2013 22:33

Oh just realised Sunday already posted it - but in black. I have it in navy.
