Could I please ask for some about dresses?

I haven't ventured on here before and I am so far away from stylish it's laughable.

I am going to a wedding reception soon and would really Luke to wear a dress.

I'm a 12/14 in most shops, but really quite busty, 34g at the moment. I normally have to go to a 14/16 in tops.

The last time I went out I wore a black deep v neck top, quite tight fitting, and a silky, straight, knee length skirt. It was a change for me as I usually wear a line skirts. I felt I looked ok and got compliments from work colleagues, but felt like I had to hold my tummy in all night!

I think I'd like a dress for the wedding party, but am struggling with where to get one. Online would be easier for me with dcs. I've looked at pepperberry, and liked some of the dresses, but saw nothing that jumped out at me.

Do any of you have any suggestions of where to look? Or should I go for skirts and tops rather than dresses?

Thanks if anyone gets this far!

I know you've ordered something now, but might I just add this debenhams coast dress to your list.

I am 5'2" size 12 32FF/G and when I first saw this dress I thought it looked old ladyish but ended up buying it to wear to a wedding. Really flattering on, I felt great in it.

Barbie, that's lovely! I can't order any more yet, my card will melt!

Dowser, fab dress. You can come with me to my wedding do!

Thanks! Store was closing so just nabbed it!

Moment of truth . Will it fit?

There really was nothing else.

Was hoping for a nice black wool jacket to replace my old m and s black wool jacket that must be a dozen years old now. Nothing as yet . May be a bit too early.

Coast dress is lovely.
