I need some help finding a dress for a wedding that hides my jelly belly and that i can feel comfortable in. I've also got quite broad shoulders so it cant be strapless. dont mind what colour, open to any. please help, weddings on saturday!

just one thing with the gold haltherneck, i LOVE it but does it look a bit bridesmaid to any of you? I dont know what the wedding colours are so dont want to be mistaken for a bridesmaid!
