Do you like this dress? & would you wear it to a wedding??

Ok so this is the dress

I thought I really liked it, but now I'm doubting myself had a baby 2 months ago & am heavier than I've ever been (well, I never got round to losing all the "baby weight" from DC1 then put on over 4 stone with this baby!! ) so sense of style is non-existent!

Do you think the dress is too white to wear to a wedding? If so, any other suggestions for dresses please, preferably no more than about £50.

If you think it's wearable, what accessories could I wear with it? Was thinking of maybe going with a bright colour for jewellery/bag/shrug etc to take away from the whiteness, but no idea what colour or where to get such things from!!

I'm 5'5", size 14/16, brown hair, pale skin (been too long since last holiday!), jelly belly, not great legs so dress can't really be any shorter than just below knee, I'm breastfeeding but baby wont be at wedding so accessibility not really an issue...I sound great don't I!! Oh and wedding is at start of May...help needed, I'm clueless!! Thanks

love it - am sure it'll sell out now we're all goin to get it! Any advice re sizes? have never heard of them!

Just to update this thread, and for people asking about sizes, the dress arrived. Realistically at the moment I'm a 14/16 (in process of losing baby weight!) so had ordered a 14 as a while til the wedding I wanted to wear it to. Dress was quite tight under the bust - jelly belly got a bit squished as the dress is quite structured there! but was too big around the neckline. I'm a 36C but it was an odd design, too much fabric really imo, it just didnt look right. Halterneck is done up with buttons so you have 3 options of how tight you want the neckline, but I'd have needed to add an extra button to make it tighter as was way too revealing otherwise!

I've decided to send the dress back anyway, doesn't really suit me and just can't see myself wearing it...so the search is still on to find a dress to wear to the wedding! Thanks for everyone's comments tho
