Looking for a petite dress on a small budget

I have a wedding to go to in 3 weeks and am struggling to find a dress that fits, suits my figure and is cheap.

Between June and September we have 6 family birthdays, a wedding anniversary, school uniforms for 3 dc to buy, college stuff for ds(17) and 6 weeks of trying to keep 4dc entertained all on a small budget so dont have much money to spend on an outfit i might not wear again.

I'm 5ft and size 12-14. Big boobies, ok waist, chunky thighs, wide hips and a belly overhang after c-sections Blush
Any help would be gratefully appreciated Grin

I have this but in a different pattern-I absolutely love it and it looks way more expensive than it is. I find the neckline really flattering on my large boobs and can wear normal bra with it. And it's v flattering on tummy too. They have loads of other lovely ones too.

Take a look at Homeyee dresses on Amazon. They're amazing, and worn by a lot of weather forecasters and news readers in the US. The styles do vary with the season is the only thing that can be a bit irritating. =)

I've just bought a lovely dress from Yumi, some of them are only £25 in the sale at the moment. Sorry I can't link but it's a tunic dress with flared sleeves. I'm 5ft2 with 32F boobs and a flabby tum, and I think I'll be wearing it loads this summer.

Im a similar shape, and tried this on the other day. Very nice and could easily be dressed down for wearing again.

Try Dorothy Perkins. Their petite sizing is great and their Blossom and Billie range would be suitable for a wedding.

Some really good value dresses on the Précis Petite sale, like this might work?
