Wedding guest outfit for size 16-18

We have a wedding to go to in late November and while I’m hoping to drop a dress size by then, I’ve been having a look at dresses around my current size and I need some help please!

I haven’t really ‘dressed up’ since we got married 5 years ago, aside from a summer wedding where I bought a dress from John Lewis after using their Personal Shopper service. I have never been one for getting dressed up as it makes me feel intensely uncomfortable. So, I would like some advice please on where to buy a dress that is:

  • Preferably on the High St where I can try on
  • plain, block colours in darker shades
  • simple and elegant style, at least below the knee
  • can be worn with low heels which I already have (due to a good injury I cannot wear high heels)
  • the John Lewis service was great but I’d like to keep the price under £100

Thanks

What shoes do you plan to wear?
What size are you?
What shape?
Best bits?
Bits you don’t want to show off?
Colouring?
Type of wedding?

This all helps the search.

River Island are surprisingly good with their size 16/18 range. They have a great choice of one colour dresses at very reasonable prices,
