I bought the dress above but I think it's more like a dress for a wild night out.

Is anyone online who can guide me towards some brands I may have missed? Am size 12 - 14, 32 DD, 5 ft 4, I can wear strong colours, and coral is prob my fave colour. Nothing floaty or girly, my style is more sexy/fierce.

Wedding will be full of glam people rather than trendy iykwim. So not Cos, more sexy and feminine styles.

Pure Collection have lovely linen dresses in their sale at the moment. Or Fenn Wright Manson for silk.

Really need glamour. Anyone used a good personal shopper or personal stylist? I just haven't got enough time to traipse all around London only to find out that my bum looks massive in most things.

have you looked at karen millen? Maybe something like this

Or perhaps reiss?

are you aiming for fit and flare style like the FCUK dress?

I'm not a big fan of Karen Millen normally, but I love that dress.

What's your budget op?

The Karen Millen dress is lovely.

have you had a look at Reiss? they do some great tailored shapes:

this is very glamourous:

The KM dress is great (I've got it).

Ted Baker also do lovely dresses.What about this?

this is lovely too but not fitted.

I live in Spain, people tend to wear full length gowns and get their hair done at salons for weddings for day and night weddings. They spend a fortune! BumbleNovas last link is most "in" over here.

Ooh gosh exciting replies! Am a bit nervous about using high street brands. The groom loves clothes and is a dapper dresser, the girl is from a smart family and they always look very glam, well thought out outfits, nothing recognisably high street. So exhausting trying to figure out where to pitch it.

Oh yes they are not Spanish so won't be that full on Spanish vibe. Went to a Spanish wedding last year and was blown away by the opulence of it all!

That KM DRESS IS GREAT oops but only 14 left and I'm a 12 in most brands right now with a sometimes 14 bum. Will look again.

Umbrella what bra do you wear with that dress?

Going to house of Fraser on Monday to hopefully get sorted. But these are great suggestions that I hadn't seen so thanks.

Here's a major budget buster but it's fahhhhbulous. Plus fits the designery bill.

what is your budget?

if you don't want high street, have you looked at the outnet? like this?

i also love this issa one, but the pale pink pleat may not be great on a large bum: Issa

Honest, I was going to get one of those backless bra extenders that crosses over round your waist, but in the end I just wore a strapless bra on the loosest setting and pinned the back to the waist of the dress.

If you are a 12 most places and curvy a 14 in KM will prob fit you - they come up very small imo, give it a try?

I've been lusting after this:

for a wedding this summer but tragically I think it is actually too dressy for the wedding I'm going to, but it might fit the bill for you? I think it has an element of bring it!! I don't know anything about the brand but they stock some in House of Fraser I think...good luck x
The Karen Millen dress is also lovely!

I keep seeing this in the window of whistles it is very striking - coral not red www.whistles.com/women/clothing/dresses/marisa-draped-dress-20144.html?dwvar_marisa-draped-dress-20144_color=Red#start=1

Karen Millen is very small'
