Help me find an outfit for November registry office wedding (I'm guest!)

Hi all - I need your help! My big sis is getting married in November in a registry office just bride, groom, and four guests, including my younger sis. My sisters are slim, toned and will generally look fabulous. I am not slim - I'm 5'10" and 53, with boobs and hips and I'm getting more of a tummy as well. I am obviously there to support my sis and celebrate the wedding but I want to feel less like the chunky sister than I normally do! I wear a lot of dresses for work and didn't want to wear them for a wedding so I wondered about a glam trouser suit that skims over my worst bits but I'm open to suggestions.

If you fancy an online fashion search for me, I'd love to see any suggestions!

Thanks!

Depends when in November, you might be a bit tight for time but these people are amazing and will make you a suit that feels and looks fab www.distinctivelyme.com

Or have a look on the John Lewis site, they have some gorgeous blazers (Reiss muted gold www.johnlewis.com/reiss-maja-textured-double-breasted-blazer-gold/p5166023; Maxmara velvet www.johnlewis.com/weekend-max-mara-velvet-jacket-fuchsia/p5189650 which looks like it comes with matching trousers; there's also a navy velvet relaxed suit form Hush and interesting (although maybe a bit work- y) suits from NRBY and The Fold)

Good luck!

Clothing size?

Budget??

Admittedly a dress. But fabulous wedding guest wear.

Alternatively something like these with the matching shirt, would be rather glamorous - and a bit more relaxed than a tailored suit for a small wedding.

Thanks for suggestions so far - I'm size 14, and budget is smaller unfortunately than most suggestions so far - £100-£150 would be max.

I like the trouser/shirt combo just linked to but its possibly a bit too much for me to pull off - but love the concept!

How about this jacket with the matching trousers? Velvet would be wonderful for November.

And room left in your budget for an accessory or two.
