Please find me a dress for a posh wedding

that is either 'traditional' guest or quirky.

I'm so stuck because I have put up weight and have gone from an eight to a ten and am now a size 12. I don't even know what I'd like but all I can find are bodycon dresses or wide skirted dresses (both make my hips and stomach look huge and round). I'd love a dress that looks sophisticated (no florals) like Meghan Markle sometimes wears), cap sleeves would be great.

Abi in EastEnders was wearing a lovely dress in tonight's funeral scene which is a style I really like if anybody watches EE.

Can anybody please help?

Did you check out house of foxy? Not jist this dress, but others on there too. www.thehouseoffoxy.com/party-dresses/1960s-bardot-dress-dark-emerald

Yes I did thank you and thank you to everyone for trying to help me. I'm not tall enough for many of the dresses on the House of Foxy but I saw a beautiful red jumpsuit. I loved it. It wouldn't suit me though.

I have a big stomach too and anything with ruching/gathers around that area is flattering on me, like this one:

Don't watch EE. What is it like.

I thought of you whilst I was watching Only Connect on catch up.

I don't know how tall V C-M is, but I've always thought she might be petite.

But thinking about her look, would any of these appeal to you?
