Need a wedding outfit that is WARM. Long sleeved fit & flare perhaps?

[minipie]

Two weddings coming up (they're like buses, none for ages and then...) one is in 10 days.

All my pre DC wedding outfits won't do up, or show off all my post DC squidge.

I need a dress. Fit and flare usually suits me best (small waist albeit with love handles these days, ample bum and thighs). I'm 5'3, 8-10. Long sleeves would be ideal for warmth and bingo wing disguising.

Anyone seen anything that fits the bill? Everything I have seen is either knitted (not dressy enough, these are fairly trad smart dos) or very plain and officey.

Ideally something like this (image below, I hope) but with sleeves, and not in black...

Thank you!

Ooh good tip thanks.

I could also do with some nude tights with some kind of magic shaping at the top.

So what did you buy Mini?

The Ted Baker one with the birds on it - great dress, lots of colours in it so it went with a jacket I had already.

The Chichi ones were good shapes (and prices) but the floral prints were a bit too upholstery like iykwim.

And also some control top tights...

Oh excellent. I do like a happy ending
