Can you help me find a nice dress for FIL's wedding, please?

[fruitbeard]

Because I have no idea!

And I'm skint...

I'm 42, a size 12, dark hair (currently highlighted copper), olivey skin, bit of a tummy, v. high waist (empire line makes me look 6 month pg, so can't do that), good legs.

I have a lovely outfit I was planning to wear but I wore it to BIL's wedding late last year and they've just announced it's going to be at the same venue (FIL and MIL-to-be announced the engagement at the reeption there), so I'd feel a bit weird wearing it again (or is that just me?)

So.... preferably £50 or under, but I can stretch a bit. And not black. Everything I possess is black!

Thank you so much.....

Oh, and the wedding's on the 18th April, so pref. something springtimeish... (sorry for all the caveats!)

No-one?

I've found a few things on ebay but I'd appreciate your opinions...

I love the colour of this one but I'm not sure about halterneck design (need a bra!)

This is pretty and I have a shrug I could wear over it, but I'm not sure if it's weddingy enough (and it's black again...)

Whereas although I quite like this and have shoes and a jacket that will go with, I'm not 100% sure about the style of it... it's okay, but I'm not in love with it...

I realise these 3 are all from Coast, it was just in an effort to cut down on the 10000's of pages of dresses I chose somewhere I knew I liked the stuff from!

Ideally I'd like something with sleeves (upper arm issues) but there doesn't seem to be anything out there atm...

Please?

phase eight have some good bargains in their sale. I bought a dress for about £18 on Monday. Not linking as my links always go wrong!

tried monsoon? they have a good website for browsing...

Just checked it's sold out! (I used a code I found on here to get it so cheap!)
Someone linked to a gorgeous blue ghost dress the other day - they have loads of bargains at the moment in their sale.

Thanks - I've looked at Monsoon and they've got nothing I like...

Will have a nosey at the Phase 8 site and report back
