Help.... can I find a plus size slip dress ideally black in London or westfield tomorrow?

Urgently needed for daughter's party tomorrow night ... ballooned over lockdown and nothing fits... Would love to be Mum to the rescue... Hope you can help!

What size and does it have to be a slip dress?

Thanks plantsitter

Yes for some reason it does - though if she sees something else she likes, she'll go for it

I'd guess an 18 ... having been a 10/12 before lockdown.....

I'd imagine H&M would too. Slip dresses are very popular atm.

Curious as to why you're mentioning her weight gain? It doesn't affect what you're looking for. I hope that you're not mentioning it to her.

Thanks Brimful and good point...

Do you mean a slip dress (ie something that goes under a dress to smooth it out) in which case M&S would be your best bet or a dress in a slip style?

Pretty Little Thing or ISIF will do next day delivery, as will Amazon. Not exactly gold standard green shopping but it'll work!

Another option would be to go to M&S or similar and buy a dress with a slip as part of it and just snip it out - I did that sometimes as a teen!

If you want in person shopping I would imagine New Look would be your best bet, or you might get lucky in Zara (though they're not brilliant for + sizes).
