Sick but want to look nice at a wedding!

Bit of an odd one. I've got a UK wedding in the summer, but I'm ill and losing weight hand over foot as the doctors can't seem to figure out what is wrong. I'm 5'9, currently 60kg, but have lost 7kg in three weeks so who knows where I'll be by June. So can you help me find a forgiving dress that will look ok if I lose even more, but will also be ok if I stay around this weight? If I manage to put weight back on I have a few options already. Budget around £70 so not huge. Obviously no boobs to speak of now, so could be braless or equally avoid that area entirely 🙈

What colours suit you? Do you like prints or block colours? If you're happy having your arms out, I would suggest a sleeveless dress in an A-Line shape that hangs from your shoulders. Bubble hems are in this year. If the dress hangs properly it will skim your boobs and the extra material in the waist and skirt will disguise any weight loss.

I'll have a hunt but you could search Vinted for an A-line dress.

@TheLongRider thank you, appreciate that. Yes arms are ok, forgot to say I'm 34. Colours I'm fairly open to prints or plain, just not yellow or khaki. I've got blue eyes and long dark hair.
