Debenhams do a personal shopper service. (as do other place) theyre free and they just suggest items or outfits that suit you. That would probably be your best bet.

too far ahead to look now

Agree with cod, I'm afraid. YOu could have a look now, but you'll want summer stuff, and it's a bit early for most of it - better to wait till maybe April, but keep looking in the meantime. Something like this is good for most shapes, and should help give you a waist if that's the bit you're not sure about. This might work too, if you're happy to go with something strapless. This might work too, and maybe this (but that last one's probably a bit eveningy).

Jackie's green dress is ideal, that ruched waist is a winner every time and the colour would be fab on you. This is worth a look too but might need control pants.
Both will be in the sale between now and then as well

Is it still too soon to look?, I looked at jackies 1st green dress and it just looked really cheap in the shop, im a bit worried, if i get a dress from monsoon is there a good chance someone else will have the same dress, its quite a big wedding.

Then avoid Coast like the plague!

Not sure what your budget is, but how about any of the first three at the top (called Lucy) here?

leander · 23/03/2008 20:29

Really really like the green lucy one, that is gorgeous, what is the sizing like, there is not one round here so would have to order online and try it.

JackieNo · 23/03/2008 20:35

Don't know about sizing, I'm afraid. Also found this, which might work too.

leander · 23/03/2008 20:48

Jackie can you come shopping with me
I love that as well, and ive just done a search and there is a lkbennett store opened in my city centre so will go and look at the 1st one, any more suggestions?

I'd love to go shopping with you. Am too far away, though, I think.

Found this, but you might think it's too pale/shiny?
And I know you have red hair, but sometimes pink can work with that?

leander · 23/03/2008 22:36

Are you sure i would buy you lunch
seriously thanks love the green dresses not sure on the last two.If you find anymore please let me know.Its my 'baby' brothers wedding and i am doing a readind so wanna look good (well as good as a short overweight redhead can look)
