My best friend is getting married in July. I have not bought a dress for about 10 years and am totally clueless about where to start. I'm about 5'4" a size 14 (still have a few lumpy bits after DD) so ideally want something calf length that would hide my wobbly belly. I am very pale skinned but have dark hair. Oh and I'm 30 if that makes any diffrence. Apparently red suits me I don't know. I won't go near green! I don't have the confidence to wear anything without some kind of straps and don't really have much more than £40 to spend on the actual dress itself! Is anyone up to the challenge? Would be very grateful if anyone has any bright ideas.

Do you have substantial norkage? If so, there were a couple of things in the new Bravissimo catalogue that I thought I would buy to wear to a wedding (if I'd been invited to any).

Red ruffle front dress

Bell-sleeved dress (maybe a bit too warm for summer)

I love that 3rd one Shona but I don't think I can afford to pay that much for a dress

Norkage is average by the way not huge but not not tiny lol

These could be quite nice.
