Help me find a wedding guest dress for my post baby body?

I need a bit of help.

Previously I was a size 6/8 (possibly 10 on bottom) hourglass that leant towards pear shaped so tended to wear more fitting clothes. However since having DS 8 months ago I'm more a 10-12 with a bit of a bloaty tummy, probably more pear now. I am slowly losing weight but know I'll never be back to previous as I think my actual bones (ribs) have moved!

I'm really not confident in my figure at the moment and have a wedding to attend in may. I'm only 5'3 and am not a big fan of my upper arms or stomach as mentioned. I don't do short short but like midi length dresses. Could and of you lovely people suggest some dresses that might suit? I'm pale with dark hair.

I've looked online but keep getting confused by what looks good on the models rather than what will suit me. Theres lots of nice floaty things I've seen but am concerned about looking ridiculous with puffy sleeves or the like, or that I might make my self appear bigger than I am
I don't tend to wear high neck clothes as I feel like they give me mono boob (though the girls are nowhere near any former glory if there was any!).

This post makes me sound very down on myself does it? I'm just a bit new to this shape! Lower price would be great too!

Would a 50s style dress work? There are some lovely ones out there, e.g. dolly & dotty
