I have seen excellent advice being given here so hope a style and beauty guru can help me .

I am going to a wedding in July and want a dress. I am 5 foot 4 and have short brown hair with some blonde highlights. My size varies depending on what item of clothing I buy - I wear size 8 or 10 tops, generally size 12 trousers and size 10 skirts and dresses.

I wear a 32C bra although I think it may be time to be measured again - think I may have shrunk a little. My waist is probably my best feature - it is pretty thin, although I have developed a tummy after DS and DD. My hips and bottom are my largest part - I am a typical pear.

I find that dresses with plunging necklines are a no-no. As are shift dresses. I can wear dresses with no bra, but I've been findinf that ones with a top like this end up making me look like I have no breasts at all .

I like the shape where it comes in at the waist and then gets wider over my bottom. Pencil skirt type is defintiely not good.

I would prefer to spend about £25 at most but would go up to £40 if pushed and it is a really nice one.

Thank you invance

Thank you - some of them look lovely .
Will go into one of their shops when I have fewer children around the place (ie when they have gone back to (pre)school
