Wedding guest dress. I know it's been done to death

I'm sorry ladies, this topic has been covered. I've looked through other threads, but need a little more help please.

I am 5' 7", size 20 Hmm I have massive calves and dry, discoloured knees. I need to wear a dress to a very formal wedding. Trouser suit would be unacceptable, as would anything very brightly coloured. Block colour would be fine but no bright patterns. Must have straps as I will have toddlers with me and don't want to "make a scene" Wink.

Ant help would be gratefully received.

Should be doable! What sort of budget? DO you have shoes you'd like to be able to use?

Belini · 22/06/2014 21:08

Budget for dress is £80ish could stretch to £100. I have no 'going out shoes'. No accessories. I am a jeans top and plimsolls kind of girl Confused.

sleeves
not even print along these lines? or like this?
lovely shade but don't know your colouring, this version looks could look very posh indeed but has spots
is it evening dress?
magenta
another
really like this
this is probably well worth a try on too
slightly over budget but lovely and cool might dress up for a wedding but still be wearable IRL

Some of these are lovely. Some a little too old though. I have realised I didn't put my age in my op. I'm 30. Also really don't want my calves on show they are massive. I will continue to trawl the 'net. Thank you again Confused
