Wedding guest dress shopping in Leeds - where to look?

It's 20 years since I lived in Leeds and I know it's changed beyond anything I'd recognise.

The wedding is in November and ideally I'd like a trouser suit rather than a dress but time is running out. If anyone knows of good places to look I'd be grateful. I need one notch below mother of the bride, my style is slightly boho rather than precisely tailored, budget up to £500 although I'd prefer less. But with not long to go I need to find something.

Also not quite a standard size. Size 8 but only 5'1".

What about John Lewis? Lots of different designers to choose from and they have a personal shopper bit too. Depends on how much you want to spend but there is also Harvey Nicks or all the usual high street brands in Trinity.
Have a good day shopping

I live in Leeds and am having the same issue, wedding in November though I am looking for a dress. There are the arcades which have some of the higher end shops, there is a Reiss, Ted Baker, Kate Spade, Vivienne Westwood, Jigsaw and Harvey Nicks. In the newer part of the Victoria Quarter there is the John Lewis and Anthropologie along with a COS and Other Stories. The Corn Exchange has some good shops but few for formal attire apart from Hidden Wardrobe and Precious Proms and Pearls, most of the clothing shops in there are contemporary / menswear. There are a few independent boutiques in the arcades that area, Bias Clothing, Accent Clothing and Masato Jones which might do something (Japanese / Scandi inspired).

Leeds seems to be more streetwear based at the moment with the Hip Store and MKI Miyuki Zoku. There is a lot to go at with the above but I would also say maybe travel a bit further - York or Harrogate for higher end / more formal.
