I have just started a new job and the Christmas do dress code says 'cocktail dresses'. I'm not even sure I know what a cocktail dress is! I have no fashion sense and a general hatred of shopping so any pointers would be much appreciated.
I'm a size 12, 5'1", bulky middle but vaguely decent legs. For work I usually wear pencil skirts and tops to hide the mum tum but dresses seem to leave it all to hang out. Floaty shapes seem to accentuate the lumps and bumps and I often see skater dresses recommended on here but that fit and flare shape makes me look like a little girl. I'd like something ideally with 3/4 sleeves in a dark colour. I don't even know where to start looking!
