Wedding guest dress help needed!

Can anyone help me find a lovely pretty dress for a wedding. Semi formal dress code. Comfortable so not a fitted shift something a bit floatier, below the knee, not spaghetti straps, maybe a pretty wrap dress? No cold shoulders.

Size 16, 5'5", 43. I'm getting no where fast and the search is just too big for me alone!

Under £75. Also vinted?

Is this along the lines ? www.next.co.uk/style/ls286482/Q18437#Q18437
I do like yours though

Ooh yes! These are both the kind of thing. Silk Fred is a great shout. I think I'd be too hot in long sleeves though

What shape are you? Apple? Pear? Hourglass etc?

The Next dress is gorgeous and you can dress it down after the wedding, with trainers and a denim jacket. It's also got a variety of different colours so very easy to get co-ordinating accessories.

I'd have said this but sold out in the 16, I think Silk Fred do it too though so I'll check for you...

I've just bought this for a wedding next week, I'm a size 20 and 5'3 and it's really flattering

Thanks everyone some awesome ideas and some great places to shop i had t thought of. Hive mine at its best!

Looking at these I think I'd prefer a lighter colour dress so not a navy background which rules quite a few out!

Riverlee thank you for you help I know wrap dresses aren't great on pear shapes! But I have mainly boat Bardot and slash in the wardrobe and fancied a change and I got one in a stitchfix nice and it fitted nice but it was like a dull pea green! ! I do like the pretty kitty yellow one though.

I love the bright never fully dressed one too!

I will keep you all posted! Off to look at vinted!
