I'm ideally looking for a skater style dress with 3/4 sleeves and a belt for my work Christmas party. I'm happy to spend up to £70 but I can't find anything! I'm a size 10 but carry all my fat on my stomach so it needs to float around that area.

Nothing sequinny please as it's not my style

Any suggestions much appreciated :-)

Skater dresses by definition are fitted at the waist. Could you wear spanx or a waist nipper underneath?

I used wear skater style until I had my last child and my waistline thickened and I carry weight on my middle. I'm interested to know if they have changed their shape as I miss them, they were so easy to wear.

The last dress linked is lovely except for the unfortunate design over the chest area.

Oooh the last one and the black lipsy one are great! I love the Oasis ones usually but they have nothing in I like at the moment oddly

I think that might be a bit short as I'm 5ft7 but thanks for the suggestion Smile

Reiss have got a dropped waist skater dress with sleeves on their Outlet site - in ivory or red if I remember.

The Reiss one is very Kate Middleton. It is very nice. Surely not flattering if extra weight on the stomach though?

That one is lovely but I don't think it would hide the belly unfortunately Blush

I think the red one is Miss Selfridge, just key skater dresses in the Very search bar. Good luck.
