Wedding guest outfit - size 18 - please help!

Hi all,

Looking for any suggestions for a new wedding guest outfit. I'm 5ft6, size 18-20, early 30's, fairly small boobs with a bit of a tum and thighs... relatively small waist though. Ideally a dress that can be worn with fairly low shoes/sandals (without looking frumpy) as it's potentially outside, with the ceremony on grass and sinking heels isn't pretty.

I'm struggling to find anything that I like on usual websites. I usually suit navy, and any form of blue. Do not suit orange, brown or purple.

Bonus points for cheeky extras; shawl, love a blimmin' shawl and hair wear. Fingers crossed that some fashionista comes along and takes pity on my message...

Hobbs have some beautiful dresses in at the moment in solid colours - including jewel reds and greens. Have you tried there?

@DGFB I have not - will go for a peruse. Good shout, thank you.

Similar shape to you, this is what I'm wearing to a wedding this week. The Seasalt dress (Reader Waterline) is not the most formal so may not be what you are looking for, but it has the perfect v-neck for me and a belt that cinches the waist. I am dressing it up with the linked hat.
