Invited to an A list wedding- need an outfit!

I’ve been invited to a very high profile wedding. I had planned to lose 2 stone to fit into my outfit.
I didn’t.
So now I have a few weeks to find a stunning outfit (online) but my searching just keeps pulling up the same old shops- Reiss, Karen Millen, SHEIN/boo hoo etc. I’ve looked at needle and thread, Nancy max, the OUTNET.
What great websites can I look at to find-
Budget up to around £500
i suit red/cobalt blue/deep pink/green- jewel colours
I suit jumpsuits/ midi and maxi dresses/high necks if they are high cowl/structured, one shouldered and halterneck things and wide leg trousers and blazers
I like structured clothes but it doesn’t have to be
I don’t suit short dresses or anything wafty or round necks or pastel colours.
I'm size 16, fairly big boobed.

Bonus points if you can find me something!

@jellywtbelly I‘m really not sure that Scarlett and Jo would be the best choice for an OP who wears a size 16 and has specifically said she likes structured clothes and doesn’t want anything ‘wafty’.

MarciaSaysANumber · 07/08/2023 15:15

But I could be wrong, of course!

jellywtbelly · 07/08/2023 15:21

@MarciaSaysANumber maybe not but it was just options x I don’t believe everything I showed was wafty but perhaps that’s just me. I don’t know what OP being a 16 has to do with it though as they do a size 16

Phase 8 have some really good options in other than just midi dresses, there’s maxi and jumpsuit. Plus they seem to be in the gem stone colours you prefer with higher necks
