Help me find a frock!

I'm looking for a dress for a wedding in four weeks time. I've ordered four already and have sent them all back. I'm going in holiday in 10 days so ideally I need something in the next week so I can send it back if needed before we go. The wedding is the day after we come home.

I'm a big busted (36h) 5'3" size 14/16. I usually go for v-necks to stop me looking too matronly. I'm not keen on shift style dresses as I think they make my arse look huge. Fit and flare seems to suit me, wrap dresses are good. I've trawled the entire dress sections in John Lewis, Next and M&S and am now dress blind! Budget up to £100, maybe a tad more for the right one.

Have you looked at Dancing Leopard for their wrap dresses? They have a range of prints so one might catch your eye.

Also, have you tried Silkfred?

Hope and Ivy wrap dress

Any particular colours/length?

Zara also has some nice dresses, though very oddly styled on the app

I like that green wrap one waltzingparrot. Good find. I like the Dancing Leopard ones too but as a short arse, I fear the maxis will be way too long and none of the midis that I like are in my size sadly.

A friend of mine was wearing a gorgeous wrap dress at a wedding a couple of weeks ago from here www.youngideasfashion.com/

Pretty expensive but there is a sale/outlet section
