Help me find a dress like this one

I have a wedding coming up but have put on a lot of weight this year (over-eating due to stress but now have it under control). Feeling pretty crap about how I look right now and am a size 14 which is the biggest I've ever been. Have really struggled to find a dress that I felt good in but have found this one in Coast. When I tried it on I just felt so good in it, but stupidly I hadn't looked at the price tag before trying it and I can't justify spending £200 on a dress for one wedding, particularly when I am hoping to lose the weight again.

I have looked around but can't find anything similar at all. Hoping mumsnetters could help me find something that fits the bill for around £100 or less.
When I put on weight, I have literally put it on everywhere so looking for something that covers most of me without feeling frumpy. I have big boobs, relatively small waist, dropped hips and big thighs and calves and arms are big too right now.
Basically looking for something that covers my arms, nips in at my waist and sits out from my hips and is floor length or long midi so as to cover my legs. Any ideas from mumsnet?

Raven Thanks for the suggestion but I wouldn't feel right doing this as I'll be dancing etc in it and it wouldn't be fair to whoever bought it after me. Even if I did want to do this, Coast have tags on very conspicuous places that say you can't return them without that tag attached. I know this because I once got a coat from there and went around for an entire day with this tag attached to my back and had no idea until my husband told me when I got home! Blush

Have a look on Chi Chi London for cheaper alternatives.
