Help me find something to get married in

I'm getting married next summer in a relaxed registry office ceremony with just our kids and 2 witnesses. I will wear white trainers, and don't want a big traditional dress. I'm 5' 4, size 14, 34g/gg. I'm a cool summer apple.

I like midi/knee length/just above the knee, but could go maxi as long as it doesn't touch the floor. Being a cool summer, I'd be happy in dusky pink/mauve/off white/ivory/champagne. Not hugely patterned, however I do like a bit of embroidery, but embroidery isn't a must. Having big boobs means I'd prefer a v neck, and don't want anything strapless, but don't want long sleeves either.

I feel like I've looked at every dress going but can't find one! I'm happy for it to be anything from a casual daytime dress to a casual wedding dress. The one in the pic would be perfect if it had a v neck and looser/shorter sleeves. Budget is up to around £200.

Can anyone suggest anything please?

I think you should take a look at needle and thread OP - their dresses sound right up your street and I think they might still have their summer sale on.

I wore one of their frocks at my low Kew wedding g a couple of months ago and felt amazing in it

Another recommendation for Needle and Thread here! Beautiful quality and often down to £200 in the sale.

A bit different to the pic you've posted but I think it's lovely. Very simple and elegant.

Re the ME + EM broderais anglaise dress: I do like the idea of wearing it with trainers but also I'd consider wearing that dress with white cowboy boots or white Doc Martens. Also I would have a petticoat made to go under the dress with a flared skirt to help it hang nicely and make is less transparent.
Just a thought.
