Wedding evening reception outfit

Help!
I’ve got an evening reception to attend in a few weeks. County house type wedding.

I’m really stumped what to wear!

I’d be fine if it was a wedding outfit I needed. My ‘going out’ clothes tend to be jeans and a top, which I don’t think is suitable here.

i’m 5ft. Massive tits. Hourglass size 12 with a small waist. I live in plain colours, but happy to try anything. Not a fan of dresses lately as the huge puffy sleeves that seem to be on everything don’t do anything for me. I like wide or barrel legs. Big fan of jumpsuits. Very fussy!

what would you wear in this situation? I can’t think of anything suitable in my wardrobe!

What would you wear if it was a full day? So we can see your style.

I think maybe I would wear something like this if it was the whole day. The shape is a good one for me. Length may be a problem - always is!

or maybe a plain jumpsuit like this. https://www.phase-eight.com/product/kallie-v-neck-frill-jumpsuit-221916351.html

I’ve been thinking today about maybe a nice top and some culottes. Everything I’ve seen so far is very uninspiring ☹️

The dress and jumpsuit are both lovely and I think you could definitely wear the jumpsuit for an evening reception! It’s the kind of thing you’re likely to wear again so if you have the budget for it, I’d go for that!

The jumpsuit and the dress are both nice. I don't see why you couldn't wear either for the party?

I don’t really want to spend much on something just for the evening party. And I’m not sure I would wear either again in the near future.
maybe I’ll have a scan on e-bay or Vinted for something similar for less £££
