Size 20 occasion dress/outfit - Next or M&S ideally

[Helladelinquent]

HI all,

I have my daughter’s first communion in a month and I have nothing to wear. I’m newly a size 20 and now have a tummy - I’ve always been a pear with a relatively flat stomach. I’m also only 5 foot 2.

I’m in Ireland and ideally would like something from Next or M&S as there are physical shops that I can return things to easily.

I have seen these from Next but I”m worried that they’re too floaty for my height.

That's a great dress! Which colour would you go for? You could always add some wedges/heels to increase the height.

I like it in the green. I do have wedges that would work. Might just order it for the try on.
