Please help me find a dress for the Royal Garden Party

Garden Party on 1st July and I need an outfit. I am not a natural at clothes shopping and haven't a clue where to start.

I don't have a huge budget for the dress, max of £100.
I am 5'6 and a size 20 Blush
I don't want black or black and white and would prefer knee length.

Can anyone help?

Hi, is that budget just for the dress? Do you already have shoes etc?

GrannyWeatherwax2015 · 03/06/2015 17:55

Shoes and fascinator I can sort locally thankfully. I should have mentioned that I can't get to shops easily as I live very rurally with nearest city three hours away.

Nightmare!

a bit over budget

yetanotherchangename · 03/06/2015 18:15

What sort of thing do you usually like?

yetanotherchangename · 03/06/2015 18:16

this one is gorgeous but maybe a bit too evening

GrannyWeatherwax2015 · 03/06/2015 18:32

The Kaliko one is gorgeous! I like that a lot.

I would usually pick a dress with a flared skirt but no handkerchief hems or hems that are long at the back but short at the front.

I don't mind floral prints but hate animal prints.
