@Defiantly41 @PhaedraTwo
thank you both!
I love the phase eight one but would like more arm coverage.
I like dark colours
I’m a size 16, hour glass I suppose.
i hate my upper arms, doesn’t matter what I do they don’t look better - boxing/pilates etc

not thinking about budget because if she does this again, she can elope

I would avoid anything marketed as "Mother of the Bride" and I wouldn't use that as a search term.

I would set a budget and search Liberty, Harvey Nicks, Net a Porter, MyTheresa, Coggles.

I really don't like the Shibumi outfits, although they'd be improved by being longer and at least a size larger. That knee length, form fitting look is very dated and impossible to wear anywhere else.

Oh, the first Liberty one is beautiful!

I've just read a thread where the OP has bought a dress from here

It's a brand I've never heard of but I think the styles are perfect for your hourglass shape.
