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!

Like the shape of the black one. Just need it in different colour and stiffer fabric.

Usually avoid coast as most weddings look like coast theme parties these days.

Oh, I'm pissed off with this. Doesn't anyone ever elope any more?

Bobbiewickham · 19/03/2008 16:08

Not keen on Karen Millen - looks too casual.

Bobbiewickham · 19/03/2008 16:16

Twiglett that Hobbs dress is gorgeous. But even the mannequin looked lumpy in it.

Good luck Bobbiewickham. Am going to check out the jigsaw/Marni myself but am darn sarf so won't be able to knick your one.

Bobbiewickham · 20/03/2008 12:24

Got one!

LK Bennett - red and pink pattern, shift dress with half belt.

Am wearing it with white coat and red shoes and handbag.

Thanks for your help, ladies. You are all lovely
