Right, style mavens! I am going to a wedding in May and I haven't found a single nice dress in town. I need help!

I want to look quite funky, as my niece is the bride and I don't want to look like an auntie at a wedding.

Am 5ft 7.

Am size 12-14, though working on it.

Have a bit of a tummy, short legs, long back and chunky arms. Small but perky tits.

Need structure and a bit of fit and flare.

Oh, will be 34 by then , if that's any help.

Dress me!

Legs ok from knee down, but would need tights. Am very white and fake tan not always successful.

That dress is v nice but a bit body conscious for me.

Can never find anything at Designer Outlet. Always funny sizes.

Am hopeless case.

Bobbie there is that lovely Sarah Coggles shop in York... have you looked there? I know it does Paul Smith concessions and the like, if money (sort of) no object.

Right, according to T & S I am a skittle.

So I need something that would accentuate the waist and then flare out a bit, while avoiding prom dress territory.

Can't do strapless, as norks too little and arms too fat.

Wore 40s style lovely dress from Whistles to last wedding, but sadly this wedding is that bride's sister so can't wear it again.
