Help with wedding guest dress for 2 weeks time

Anyone have any suggestions for a dress to wear to a good friend’s wedding? I’m size 12 but feeling very podgy bf not at all toned post baby.

Particularly interested in unusual brands as I have trawled all the high street brands I can think of. Budget up to £200

I tend to veer towards simple classic looks, ideally navy. Hopefully dress it up with a hat or headpiece.

Thanks

I’ve been looking for similar, although bigger than you so even harder. Shops are still full of sale stuff.

Reiss had some nice stuff that was all too wee for me
Hope & Ivy
The reformation
Ghost
Selected Femme

How tall are you? What sort of shape are you?

This is a little over budget, but so gorgeous. Buttons, pattern, (def not too white). Looks so luxuriously relaxed but celebratory.

I'm going to a wedding in August and have a lovely shirt dress from zara. It's not too tight, they have loads of colours and designs.

I know you said you've done high street but I thought this looks cool and classy from Monsoon

Nancy Mac might be worth a look - some lovely blue/navy dresses, including wrap styles.

This is pretty, www.monsoon.co.uk/zariah-strawberry-embroidered-wrap-dress-blue-14878161.html. Actually Monsoon has quite a few navy dresses that might be suitable.
