Help find the impossible frock!

[nancy75]

Going to a wedding early Sept & need help!
Wedding is posh venue, we are just going to the evening. Couple getting married are quite a bit younger than us, so most guests will be too & they dress up (in a boohoo, tight dress, high shoes kind of way)
I am rapidly approaching 50, have had various health issues (and too many cakes) and have put on a lot of weight - size 22.
Don’t do tight, can’t really wear heels & generally feel a frump!
Help me find something to wear! Olive skin, almost black hair, short & round - prefer to cover arms & legs budget up to £200 (preferable less!) General style is kind of hippy dresses with sandals/dms! Hate chiffony mother of the bride stuff. Is there any hope 😂😭

Have you looked at Roman?

Quiz have quite a bit of plus size occasionwear. I have been suprised how nice some of there dresses are despite the low price tag. Might be worth a look

Why spend £200 when you're only invited to the evening do? I would at least try to find something you can use to other things so not too dressy.

Hey,

im very similar to your colouring and height/weight. I wore an Abercrombie and fitch dress to a wedding last year and felt very comfy in it. They do this dress in a range of different lengths, colours and lengths. It looks lovely on, it’s called Emerson

Abercrombie

@nancy75 I recently bought a Nobody's Child dress from SimplyBe. They had lots of sizes that the website didn't.

Possibly Google Judy Dench clothing style. She is only 5ft!! Not sure on size but some of her evening/dressy wear is really stylish and elegant!

Maybe look at Sahara, Masai, Gather &See?

I love this dress, why not try it OP.

That Boden Empire ruched dress is gorgeous.
