Help me find a dress and look HOT

I only have £30 max.

I have a size 10 waist, 32E norks, good legs, flabby tummy.

I am going to my mate from college's wedding. The ex who broke my heart at 18 (yeah I know, 9 years on it shouldn't be important) and the bitch friend who betrayed me (with said ex) will be there.

I want to look good.

Indie/rock type friends and I want to feel "me" (also indie/rock) so not too flouncy iyswim.

HELP!

I like stripey with the knotted type back (first link)

2nd scares me a little Can't work out how to see black though so that could be why!!

3rd I like! Possibly not for the wedding, but in general

Something like this maybe, with some nice wedges or sandals?

Yeah, where has flame gone? Have you decided what you are going to wear? Nothing we've suggested I bet

Lol! I am still pondering - computer died last night and have been out all day.

I like that last dress (I like lots of the other stuff too) - pondering if that with magic knickers could work.

Next Weds I have time without DS, so I will head to town (which conveniently has the shops linked to ) and try and find everything to try on! If you're really lucky I will go armed with a camera and you can help choose

I like the ruffle one lots though - good cleavage and the waist bit will hide the flab.

What was the "what on earth is this for" about?? I am leaning towards the little tutu thing (as being what you're talking about, not to wear!)

I like the black lots

What about this?

Do look on ASOS - they have such good priced stuff and most of it is super trendy - I have good legs and flabby tum and I cover up to mid thigh and then have long legs out and don;t have to worry about the rest of me - have lots of long sort of tunic dresses like this one!

The khaki one is nicer than the pink!

debenhams have 20-25% off stuff today and tomorrow, worth a look?
