Dress suggestions needed...

[WannabeMakeUpArtist]

Hello Ladies, this is my first thread of my own since I recently started posting so be kind!

I've got a wedding to go to in three weeks and have done my typical routine of leaving it until the last minute and still haven't sorted a dress out.

I'm 5'8", size 18 and have large boobs(38f) and am not the biggest fan of my legs so below the knee or maxi is a must!

I just can't seem to find anything I really like enough to buy and want to be able to wear it again this summer, please help...

this on simply be website

they have other nice dresses too

What sort of colours do you wear?

this would be a good shape on you, but need more to go on.

here at john Lewis?

There's lots of Monsoon on Ebay, actually. Like this for example.

I really like the style of the dress custardo, especially the detail on the chest but I don't think the colouring would suit me

I love the Monsoon dress but I can't warrant spending £160 on me just to wear to a wedding so budget or sale dresses it is...

I'm quite dark olive skinned with nearly black hair, colour wise I'm pretty open about and my wardrobe is pretty technicolour, but am also a fan of classics to keep me going and accessorize up but without looking like my mum (who I swear I am actually turning into!)

My arms aren't that amazing either (most of my body has actually gone to pot but slowly getting it back with diet/exercise) but my boobs are pretty good so tend to work around those when dressing up, but nothing too low cut iykwim...

I know I am a fickle nightmare, hence why I need help!

The Monsoon Oriane dresses look awesome too. I wore one at a wedding when I was size 18 and it looked fab - it comes to below the knee.

Plum - I love the colour of that dress but not too sure about the sleeves, especially if it is going to be warm

Nikki, not too sure about the first two but LOVE the Oriane dress, do you know if they still sell that style in the shops? I think a visit to Cheltenham may be in order to try on for sizing then purchase from Ebay?!?!

How about this?

They don't sell them anymore sadly but they come up a lot on ebay so keep an eye out. Very very flattering!

green maxi dress

I love this with all the accessories too and if you dont like your upper arms then you could wear a shrug.
