Hello style and beauty geniuses. I don’t usually post here but on the odd occasion I have I’ve had brilliant advice.

Dnephew is getting married in late September, in a converted barn / manor type place, so smart but not super formal.

I need a dress that will ideally also work for my work Christmas party, so not too pretty flowery, but obviously don’t want to wear black for a wedding.

I’ve recently lost some weight so would like something a bit fitted to show it off - I’m a 10 top, 10-12 bottom, small boobs bigger bum and thighs and not super keen on my legs so nothing too short.

Budget isn’t huge and I don’t really know where to start to look as I very rarely buy dressy clothes - I’m usually a jeans or denim skirt and Breton tshirt type of girl. I’m 43, if that’s relevant.

Does anyone have any brilliant suggestions, or ideas of shops (online if possible) that I could try?

Budget isn’t huge as I’ll have to buy shoes as well and all the other wedding paraphernalia just as the kids are going back to school needing uniform and 100 pairs of shoesHmm.

Thank you! (Sorry, that’s long!)

Ooh that’s lovely - a bit flouncier than I would have chosen. I like the colour. I’ve never looked at ASOS - always think of it as a bit teeny but will take a look.

Would navy be ok? I love this, but I never go anywhere where I would wear it.

@Bablohoney Oops, I didn't click your link, but posted a really similar one! Great minds!!

Love that GP one.

Also really like this Whistles one.

Love the Great Plains one (and the price!) The whistles one is a bit too tight fitting I think.
There seems to be a lot of navy about - I think that would work for an autumn wedding with lighter shoes and accessories- what do we think?
