Would like a royal blue or turquoise dress for my 40th

[Octopus37]

I am going to be 40 soon and I am looking for a nice dress to wear for a family meal, budget £50 max. Stipulations:

I am 5ft5 and normally size 8/10, have put on a few pounds recently so a 10 probably
Small busted, slightly pear shaped, reasonable legs, prefer short dresses and I like straight dresses, but have to be a bit mindful of big bum and slight mum tum
I have purple hair, so feel that the above colours suit me better, but would be open to other suggestions.

Any ideas very welcome.

Any good?

Thanks for the link. I like it but was looking for something a bit more dressy

Have a look at Phase 8 online, they've got some fab dresses with great reductions. I have been so happy with their stuff.
Can't manage a link I'm afraid!

bargain here and sounds like it would suit your shape well.

[Octopus37]

I love both of those dresses. Will check the Phase Eight website as well. Will prob go for the House of Fraser one. Thanks very much

[tethersend]

not the colour you asked for, but would look great with purple hair

[tethersend]

sequins?

[tethersend]

bargain

[tethersend]

patterned

[Octopus37]

Thanks very much for the suggestions. Have bought this one (see below) on ebay. Will be tempted to get one of the other dresses if this one doesn't look right.
