I am going on a hen do in June - it's in Spain and I've been told we're going for a night out at a well known restaurant and I need a 'nice' outfit. The people I'm going with are effortlessly glamorous and slim.

I am not very confident anymore and I have recently being trying to break out of my 'buy big jumpers and jeggings' to wear every day. I realised that my wardrobe is almost exclusively 3 plain colours. I've been buying printed things and dresses to try and spice things up a bit but I have real body issues in that I'm probably about 4-5 stone overweight after having dd and I'm not happy. I am losing weight but I'll never lose enough before June. I've been trying to find said 'nice' outfit, I just wondered if people thought this was nice, or frumpy? It is a totally rubbish description on it and I assume it comes without the belt. I do like the belt so I'd have to buy one separately I guess.

Gorgeous dress. Hope you have a lovely time x

foreverhanging · 16/05/2019 12:04

Thank you! I'm trying not to be too anxious about it. I'm leaving my dd for a week and I'll miss her but it's an opportunity to have a week to 'myself' (ish) and not have anyone put wotsits in my hair!

Dress is fabulous.

What shoes will you wear? The black strappies on the model look good.

foreverhanging · 16/05/2019 12:24

I have some pretty simple high heels which are black and have a chunky heel

They're like this

I think you look fabulous 😍 your figure looks fantastic in it 👌😁

missmartini · 20/05/2019 19:21

I think it looks lovely on you!!!

Hippychick78 · 20/05/2019 19:21

Oh and you definitely don't look 4 to 5 stone overweight!!

Nemesia · 20/05/2019 19:23

That is really lovely you have a great figure and look confident (and you certainly don't look 4-5 stone overweight!)

GoBackToPartyCity · 20/05/2019 19:23

Looks lovely! I don’t know whether the shoes are a bit heavy with it for a night out in Spain? The ones on the model are nice and lighten it up bit.

PamelaDooveOrangeJoof · 20/05/2019 19:24

You look fantastic! That’s a fab dress and it really suits you. Have a great time.

FabulouslyGlamourosFerret · 20/05/2019 19:30

Gorgeous

foreverhanging · 20/05/2019 19:37

Thank you all. I am about 14.5 stone so definitely 4-5 overweight for my height I'm afraid so the dress is doing the job! Would something like this look better shoe wise?
