We're both inbetweenies in the UK (between size 16-22) so feel free to skip if you can't help/are annoyed by inbetweenie posts. Wedding help needed within!

I wouldnt suggest E-Shakti- at least not when it comes to something that is time sensitive, and you're over-seas. Does E-Shakti now ship to the UK? they only recently started shipping to Canada- and their service is lackluster at best- example, I ordered a dress on March 15th 2012. I didn't actually get the dress until April 23rd 2012- I wasn't given any notification of shipment, just a knock from the postman asking for a duties charge. I also find their dresses (E-Shakti) off the rack are short (I'm 5'1 for record)- I also feel that way about Asos (their dresses being really really short)
with this in mind- have you looked at Pinup Girl clothing? they actually have quite a few dresses that are fitted but not hugging (though a lot are hugging as that's the style/era)- they ship pretty fast (I'm in Canada) and their customer service is good (during the Pacific Timezone hours listed)

I'm purchasing 2 dresses from them in a few weeks for my engagement photos.

otherwise- UK wise there is a brand called Collectif that has some nice dresses. I also have seen a few cute day/tea style dresses from Dorothy Perkins.

My home address is in the US, so my mom could ship it pretty easily. It's not suuuuper time sensitive but your comment gives me pause for sure.

The other suggestions are helpful, I'll check them out! :)
