I am going to a wedding in July and really struggling to find a dress to wear. I am flat chested so no plunging neck lines and I have a tummy so I don't want anything that is too tight fitting. I find skater type dresses suit me best, however the thing I am struggling with most is I don't want it to be polyester. Everything I find that I like seems to be polyester. Does anyone have any suddegstions?

I ended up getting one off style cheat after hunting high and low on every website and ordering a whole load of unflattering ones. My other favourites for weddings are AX Paris, tiger lily boutique, lavish alice, chi chi and quiz actually has some nice ones in just now. I used to rely on coast but it’s really changed now so can be hit or miss. Asos also has a good selection too

Paxt do organic fair trade cotton? Their designs tend to look a bit casual as a result, because we're all used to the kids of silhouette that are easier to achieve with synthetics. They do a skater dress but it might be too scoop necked. Have a look at this one? long dress If you accessorise it carefully it would look more glamorous.

@PermanentTemporary I like it but it think it would be too fitted around my stomach.

@Niftythrifter those dresses are a possibility but possibly a bit casual, they look like something I would wear everyday rather than for an wedding.

Watching with interest as also have a summer wedding

I agree those dresses are too casual for a wedding

I'm currently looking at AX Paris which has some nice options
