Dress ideas - running out of time!

I have a wedding to attend in less than a month and I'm really finding this difficult.

I have 1 year old twins so feel all frumpy and stuck in a style rut of vests and leggings and just want to look nice for a change!

I'm looking for a floaty skater style midi dress, preferably with 1/2 or 3/4 sleeves (BUT NOT PUFFY OR RUCHED). Floaty preferably to hide my absolute shelf stomach that I've been left with since having my girls 🙈

It seems that no such thing exists 😭 I'm really really struggling to find anything that fits the bill.

Does anyone have any suggestions at all - it would really help a knackered twin mum out 😂

Just in case it matters I'm 5 foot and a size 14 so generally most of the lovely dresses out at the minute seem to overwhelm me and make me look and feel bigger than I am.

Oh my goodness that first dress is beautiful!! I've never heard of Roman as a brand!

Lovely neckline too - I find that anything too high makes me look like a potato as I've been blessed (cursed) with enormous boobs which look quite ridiculous on a short person 😬

Hi @Twistyripple , I am also short with ridiculously big boobs! What about a 50s style dress with a petticoat? I got a nice one from Amazon - will see if I can find the link.
