Want to help me shop?

I'm going to a wedding at the end of next month.  Wedding will be fancy, not black tie fancy, but fancier than most weddings I've been to.

I do have dresses I own that I can wear as back up, but I'm always looking for an excuse to buy a new one.

I'd like to keep it to $200 or less, but if the dress was really amazing I might consider spending up to $400.

I think I'd like something with a little sparkle/beading, but I'm not married to the idea.

I would also prefer something that is fitted, and nothing that will make my shoulders look bigger.

Can you help me find something?

Thanks

ETA: What's the venue setting? outdoor/indoor? and depending on your location, will it be hot, warm, cool weather?

What style of dress are you looking for? Shorter, longer? fitted?

That'll help guide my search

Nothing too short. Probably knee length, but I'm not opposed to above the knee.

I prefer fitted throughout, but I'd be open to something with a fuller skirt. Just so long as the dress is fitted in the waist. Loose dresses rarely look good on me.

Wedding is indoors in Toronto. May weather can be unpredictable, but it shouldn't be too cold.

These could be hit or miss- people seem to either Love or Hate Anthro. I'm a lover & always think that their stuff is a bit unique

Thanks gringachef

A family friend owns the first one and it looks great on her, but was just ok on me.

I do like the last one you posted, but I think I want something even dressier.

I really like that second one you posted from Nordstrom. It may make me look a little too straight though (broad shoulders/no hips), but it's really nice, so I might just order and try it out. Thank you.
