Looking for a dress!

[Moonflower12]

I'm getting married in August. A very chilled, casual affair. The local registry office followed by a barbecue/ garden party.

I need a dress. I'd like black or dark grey. I want to wear the dress afterwards so no pale colours. It's not me.

I am 5'3" and a 14/16. A bit of a tummy and reasonable sized boobs.

The budget is up to £200 but would go a bit higher for the right dress.

I really like this H&M dress but I don't think it would be big enough.

This? Remember the model is 5' 10 so it would probably be knee length on you.

For £200, you could get a formal gown, sell it on and use the money to buy a more low-key dress that you could wear again and again.

Thank you all for looking!
The Phase Eight one is beautiful but too pale. Sorry

I do like the Oasis one -so will order that one to try it on. Thank you 😊
I will let you know how I get on.

The mini dress is too fitted I feel. I would have too much tummy!

I have really struggled to find a formal gown in black or really dark grey.
This had been my original plan.
Everything 'dark' seems to be navy!
