fogey and live in jeans.......help

[coccyx]

haven't worn a dress for 20 years and taking the plunge. I am hopeless shopper. Where do i look???/ I am only 5ft 2 and size 16 on top , 14 bottom. Can;t do strapless as need a good bra to keep boobs up.

What's the dress for? Evening or daytime? What's your budget?

[coccyx]

just for everyday, happy to pay up to 75 pounds.

Lots of people on here recommend John Lewis personal shoppers. Book an appointment, it's free and they can help you. Easier I imagine than stripping off in the changing room and having to go back to find different stuff, they bring it all to you.

Length?

Sleeves?

How about something like this? or in navy

Or this?

[coccyx]

Yes, think a v neck is ok with a fuller bust??? Great find, thank you. Not too fitted and will cover tops of arms.

[TethersEnd]

Blimey, that was easy V-necks good with fuller bust. Great reduction on that dress- but size down, Jaeger sizes are huge

Loving Tethers' suggestions.

Also Pepperberry do flattering dresses for people who are bigger on top than they are on the bottom iyswim. Don't forget to check out the sale items. Pay careful attention to their sizing if you haven't used them before. You will need a "14 Really Curvy" I reckon but do check.

They've got a load of new stock in. nice red one
