You are beatiful!!!!

I cant really be of any more help...am 5"0 so no experience in anything tall-related unfortunately.

Also I hope you dont think I'm being rude but you certainly dont look lika size 24 to me

long tall sally was my home prior to putting on so much wieght it is all a bit too tight

Im normally a trousers and casual top kinda gal, but figure i should make the effort and go for a dress/skirt top combo.

Budget is a measly £50. though i wouldn't necessarily need shoe's.
