Winter wedding outfit - help!

I've been invited to a last minute wedding in December. Close family only, small party. Would like to wear something sparkly but not too glam. Knee length maybe.

Budget £100 max. I am a UK 10, 5' 9" and fairly slim. Flat chested, no real shape. Brunette long bob. I like shift style dresses. Something not too fitted but with structure. I have square shoulders to hang things off. Maybe a skirt and sparkly top would work?

I have black suede Mary Jane style heels which I'd like to wear.

Please please help! The rest of the family are super stylish and glam and I feel drab in their company at the best of times!

Hi. These are all from M&S. All within your price point. Some quite a bit less. You would need a jacket (velvet or faux fur) and I’d probably add a sequin bag, M&S have some for £25. I know the brown one doesn’t scream wedding but you can really add sparkle with jewellery and a sparkly bag. It’s a chic dress. I’d look at third party and dress selection and order some options and try them on at home with your shoes. You really can look great without spending a fortune.

Sorry - have only attached dresses! Yes - a sparkly top would be great but lots a like a jumper. You can easily get a long lace skirt and add a top but I’d still add sparkle via jewellery and a bag!

Not quite as you described but I think you’d really suit this - and the fabric would look glamorous:

I think this is beautiful for a winter wedding and under budget..

You could definitely wear your existing shoes. I'd then pick out one of the colours for your bag and jewellery.

Hi I'm also going to a winter wedding but can't wear heels 5ft2 size 12 what to wear on my feet, I don't do closed toe shoes, sandals in summer, boots in winter I can do with a small heel,

High necks can be problematic if you get hot. Not very wedding. More a work dress from &OtherStories so not great for the evening do or very stylish for the occasion.

These are a bit over budget but perfect. Add sparkle!
