Plus size outfit

I have got to attend a wedding in 3 weeks. I need to find an outfit thats not jeans and a T-shirt. I’ve managed to lose a few lbs but I’m still very large and a size 22. My legs are absolutely gigantic so no dresses that aren’t very long.
Can anyone help?
Can I wear trousers?

Have a look at ASOS - according to this search there are over 400 ‘occasion dresses’ in a 22 & most of them seem to be longish.

Monsoon? am a 18/20 and got my wedding guest dress from there. I know they do size 22.

With big legs often dresses do look better than trousers even when you don’t think they do. I would suggest Monsoon - some styles are a lot bigger than their label and so start trying things on from a size 20 up. Asos’ plus sizes are aimed at younger women and so the sizing around the waist and arms tends to be smaller but could work if you are relatively toned.

Next are also very good with some larger sizes but online rather than in store this one's lovely - www.next.co.uk/style/st346959#633533
