Dress for Vow Renewal

Peapod2

My husband and I are both 45. We're renewing our vows this October for our 13th anniversary. Our original wedding was in Hawaii, and I hated my dress. This time around we're going to Las Vegas and will have Elvis marry us. Kitchy and fun! But I'm stuck on what to wear. We have our choice of Elvis eras, and I'd like to wear something to match the theme ('50s, '60s, '70s), but I also really want to love my dress. It doesn't have to be white. I'm a size 16, and 5'4". 

Any and all ideas would be appreciated.

But if I were you, I'd wear a vintage suit like Carrie Bradshaw - this link has details about how to get it sewn or sew it yourself:

What is your budget for a dress?

I think these are adorable:

Thanks for the input! I really love the Dolly Couture dresses, too. They were my first choice, but they might be a bit out of the price range. 

I did find a couple of chiffon trapeze-style dresses with beading at White House Black Market  and Nordstrom that I like. I think they're kind of retro cocktail dresses. With some big late-'60s hair and heavy eyeliner, they might work. 

They're more in the $170-$200 range. 

My concern is that they'll make me look like a little round dumpling, as they're very freeform. I have time to try one though.

Still looking, I guess.
