While we're all (prematurely?) thinking about summer wardrobes...please help me

[OliviaMumsnet]

Forget your bickering discussions about white linen trousers and please help me find a fab outfit for my brother's wedding.
Wedding is end of June, church then marquee reception in garden.

I am 5'8, size 12/14 (hoping to be a 12 by then anyway) and curvy with an okay cleavage and a little bit of a tummy.

I like strong colours and am not averse to a sassy print or two.

TIA oh stylish ones.

Dress or trouser type outfit?

budget (ish)?

Do you want something flexible for wearing opportunities afterwards, or are you happy to just have a fab frock?

budget?

are we talking dorothy perkins or Coast type money??

i have been eyeing this up for a summer wedding

Not too sure on the straps though.

am thinking this has some scope and good for nice norks, without clinging to stomach too much?

c'mon Olivia, we need a budget to work with, dahlink....

Definitely looking for a dress but also I am rather white of arm and averse to fake tan so perhaps a wrap or jacket to cover them.

Sorry, knew I'd forget something. Budget!

Well it's my brother's wedding so definitely coast budget and maybe more for a FAB dress.

Ooh love that turquoise one TPP

or cheaper, similar style but turquoise

love this if I was dark haired...

like the simplicity of style with nice print

they have a zillion wraps and shrugs too

oh and I'd stick with monsoon over Coast, if I were you.
this little gem is part of coast's wedding collection. Boak!

like this one too

Coast is hideous atm, their dresses are bloody awful.

Oooh, is this too bridesmaidy?

hmm, a little...
is this too safe?

Thanks for all these so far
I like that style mollyroger but prefer the colour of my bridesmaidy one.
