Please help me find a bridesmaid dress

I am Maid of Honour at my sister's wedding this winter. She has said to the bridesmaids that we can choose any dress we like as long as it is emerald/forest green.
I am currently a size 16 following pregnancy but am losing weight and hope to be a size 12 or even 10 by the wedding. I have an hourglass shape however have saddle bags (and do even when a size 10) and my breasts are enormous right now due to breastfeeding and the weight gain. I'm trying to find a dress that means I can wear a supportive bra and that doesn't highlight my saddle bags, as many tight-fitting dresses tend to. I would also quite like to cover the tops of my arms to an extent.

So far I have found this one which I like but I don't know if this site is one to be trusted (generally good reviews on trust pilot but a few negative)

I was hoping to seek help from mumsnetters to find any other dresses that might fit the bill?

What about this one? Don't put too much pressure on yourself to lose 2-3 dress sizes in a few months. You don't need the stress. www.silkfred.com/womens/clothing/dresses/midi-dresses/angeleye/embellished-sequin-baby-doll-midi-dress-in-emerald-green

These are both lovely but I think I would prefer a floor length dress. I'm also not overly-keen on chiffon as a bridesmaid dress in winter, I would prefer satin I think.

Needle and Thread do good bridesmaid dresses, they're all still summery at the moment but the Winter wedding ones should arrive shortly....
