I think you should book a personal shopping slot at a big department store (if this is still possible). Tell them in advance what you are looking for and they will have a selection of dresses for you to try on.

You're only 27, why are you asking the middle aged?
Get on Instagram, Pinterest, ask your mates??

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz
The recommendations so far are Coast, Karen Millen and Phase 8 Hmm

So? How is that the OPs fault? Maybe if posters ready the brief they would suggest more appropriate dresses.

27. Great legs. A bit sexy.

My Coast recommendation seems to have ticked the boxes - dont write off a store just because it is sometimes used by middle aged women.
