I've never posted on S&B before but I'm a bit style challenged and was wondering if anyone could help me find some dresses?
I'm in the middle of my final exams and about to leave uni after 7 years so I need a dress for graduation and a dress for graduation ball, along with shoes and any accessories.
I'm a size 14 but hourglass shaped (my waist is quite small but my hips and thighs are enourmous!) Colour wise I'm not really bothered but I have really pale skin, red hair and blue eyes so black doesn't really suit me. Budget is an issue having been a student for so long so I need to spend as little money as possible - is less than £200 for absolutely everything possible? Here's what I'm looking for
Graduation:
I was thinking something like a pencil dress, fairly plain but not particularly fussy about colour. Uni have said that high necklines look better. I do sometimes have problems finding fitted dresses because im a 32G bra size but hopefully it won't be a massive problem.
Grad Ball:
Needs to be a floor length dress, I don't like really shiny or blingy dresses but other than that I'm not really sure what I want.
Shoes: I can't walk very well in heels and am already imagining landing in a crumpled heap on stage so if I could find some nice shoes with low heels or something easy to walk in like wedges that would be amazing
Thank you for reading if you've got this far, I'd be so grateful for any tips anyone has!
