Help! Wedding this weekend....

...and nowt to wear!!

What should I wear? It's going to be a glorious country wedding, but I know no one who's going (it's my partner's friends) and I don't know what to wear! :(

In short... as someone might need this info... I'm a size 12, hour glass figure and 5'8 tall...

If anyone can suggest a site or some dresses please let me know.

Thank you all... :o

    TK Maxx might be worth a look. Or if you don't mind spending money, Hobbs have some lovely things as well

    Wallis have some gorgeous dresses in at the moment - some with up to 30% off.

    Some of their maxi dresses are really lovely

    For this lovely summer weather, I would also go with a maxi dress in the colour/design of your choice and a little short shrug or a plain colour pashmina/wrap.

    if 'money saving'..there are some really cute flowery dresses in primark for about £5, or some for about £9, which, with a nice cardy and sandles would be perfect for a wedding!

    If not MSE, Oasis has some AMAZING sumemry/occasion dresses at the moment, I could go mad in there. They can be quite pricey though!

    BHS have got lots of sandles at the moment, in all different colours, I've bought some to go with my bridesmaid dress for a wedding in July, they are perfect and only about £20!

    Agree with the other posterss, a long summer dress and pashmina with glittery sandals seem like a good bet but I would advise against Primark unless you want to spend all your time worrying about popping out of the top half. Wear whatever is comfortable as you will feel very self-conscious in front of strangers if you're not happy with your outfit!
