Sorry! Another wedding outfit dilemma

Super chic stylish sister in law wedding. Pressure to look the part but tight budget (and utterly diff. lifestyle to hers!). It's just not adding up and I'm slightly concerned. My kids are the page boys/bridesmaids etc. and I really don't want to be frumpy mum. I'm size 12, decent legs, tummy slighty concertina shape after 3 kids, small boobs. Dresses don't seem to flatter. Where can i get a decent outfit and what would look interesting and stylish but wearable given i have to csare for 3 under 6s at the event? Please help!

Second Zara, and Principles have some good stuff this season too - some v pretty skirt/top combos. If you have a TKMaxx near you and can bear the rummaging it's worth a go - ours had some very lovely (and flattering) Betty Jackson wrap dresses at the weekend that would be perfect for a wedding, reduced from £80 or something ridiculous to £30.

Apart from the clothes themsleves, make sure of elegant shoes to draw attention to your legs - needn't be high but a bit of a heel is always worth it.

Actually one of the most effective things you can do to look instantly groomed even in an average dress is to get your hair blowdried on the morning of the wedding but appreciate this might not be practical if you're mission control for three tinies!
