Help find me a wedding dress

December wedding, tall size 12ish with wide shoulders and short legs, can't do high necks, prefer dark colours but definitely not navy. Very casual wedding (arrival at venue likely to involve a bus and several small children). Ex goth, don't want anything that looks like a 50s costume (no bombshell dresses etc, also can't do jumpsuits - never found one that's long enough in the body). Don't look good in anything too fussy. I like dark green and Toast but their dresses don't generally work on me as I'm too tall and my boobs are too big. Budget fairly flexible but much more than £300ish likely to bring me out in a cold sweat because I probably won't wear it again! Would prefer to wear chunky boots with it. I want to look casual but edgy and glamourous! Aargh! Help!

Ivy and Oak have some gorgeous dresses.

Nancy mac have some gorgeous green (and other colours) occasion dresses in sable, brocade or velvet that look so rich and luxurious. I imagine they will look incredible at a winter wedding

Are you too booby for this OP? There's one brand new in size 12 on ebay if not.
