going out with some girlfriends for a gourmet dinner in about a month. Would like to wear a LBD or similar. Have a nice one from coast, very simple with a corsage but it's not a great fit. I'm 5 ft 9, 12 stone (having recently lost a stone) and in between a 14 and 16. My tummy is my bug bear, still pretty sticky out and lumpy so would like a nice dress that is flattering to the tummy area, without being shapeless and tent like. Big ask?? Don't really want to spend a huge amount either. Any suggestions you stylish lot? Thanks mucho.

Try Fenn Wright and Manson, good for tall wome. Some can be a bit mother of the bride but some really nice drapey or jersey dresses. Available in John Lewis and House of Fraser and on their own website.

Will have a look Mrsbossyboots, thanks. Think I also saw a discount voucher in a glossy mag recently too.
