Wedding is in August, and will be posh.
I will be wearing a hat, so need a lovely dress.
I have dark, shoulder length hair, and am a size 12.
Suit dark red and green colours.
Am 5 ft 3" tall, but will be wearing v high heels.
Monsoon had some lovely dresses, but are all sold out in my size.
Boden no good - likewise M&S.
Please help recommend some other online options, as I won't have time to go out scouring the shops.
TIA.

Go to a personal shopper at John Lewis, they're FAB. Tell them what you want and what your budget is and they'll find you something you feel amazing in. I went recently and would thoroughly recommend.

Personal shopper is definitely a good idea. I found a couple of nice looking dresses at Principles, though they're copper rather than red - could be lovely (I suspect it's either love or hate, and not much in between though):
this one and this one. This looks good too.

This is pretty, so is this (though orange rather than red).

Thank you everyone.
I love the floral trim dress.
Will definitely investigate the personal shoppers at John Lewis - hadn't thought of that before.
