Another - I need a dress for a wedding thread

Hi, I'm hoping that the hive mind can help me.

I've just received an invite for a wedding at the beginning on June. And I 'don't have a thing to wear'...

In the last 9 months I lost about 2 and a half stone. I'm now a size 16 and a 32G/34F. I am hourglassish but the widest part of my hips is just below my waist so I generally need a high waist (but not in a style that's going to make me look pregnant...). I'm very pale and pastels, particularly yellow ones, make me look ill. I'm 42 and don't want to look like mutton dressed like lamb.

I don't want to spend a huge amount of money as I still have another 2ish stone to loose. But it's going to be an affluent wedding so I also need to look well put together in order to fit in.

Any ideas? I've no idea how to dress myself appropriately any more...

I am laughing as I was just going to suggest Phase Eight when I realised MrsLettuce got there before me! They often have fab sales and have a category called Dresses With Sleeves so you can narrow the choice down really easily. Just be careful of the fabrics - some are fantastically stretchy but others aren't. Also some last for years and will shrink with you as you lose more weight, whereas others aren't as versatile/accommodating or durable. ALL of my favourite dresses come from them.
