SIl's wedding in July. I'm not very glanourois

The women of the family are very glamorous. I don't fit in with my usual scruffy look! They dress up for Sunday lunch, evenings at each other's houses and shopping.

A new dress for me is an event and, God, buying new shoes! Ugh!

However, I am prepared to make the effort, of course!

I suit maxi dresses (I think). The last dress I bought was a navy maxi for a ball and it was lovely. Maxi dresses mean no worrying about legs (not very shapely) and less worry about footwear (terribly ugly feet and can only manage low heels).

I'm 5'6", size 8, dark hair (pixie), 'winter' colouring (HOC). My best colours are raspberry, dark red/ burgundy, royal blue, navy, charcoal.

Budget for dress under £100. If shoes can be worn other than at the wedding then all the better.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Does this count as raspberry?
this is certainly raspberry and very glam. Would you consider a jumpsuit? thses sandals, for exaple, would work really well.

That jumpsuit is a winner. It's divine!

Agree with the previous poster, that raspberry jumpsuit is gorgeous. Very glam and just a bit different but still totally appropriate for a wedding.

What about something like this silk dress from Jigsaw?
