40th dress despair

2 replies

Terraz · 25/02/2026 20:34

My 40th birthday is in a couple of weeks and I am at my wits end trying to find a dress.

I’m size 12-14, pear shape, so ideally want something more fitted on top and forgiving on the bottom.

Would prefer not to have my legs out but I am having a party with a dj and I want to dance, so it needs to be more club vibes than wedding guest.

HELLLLLPPP I cannot find a single thing I like. Willing to spend up to £150 (less if possible!) I just want to find something stand out that doesn’t make me look awful 😣

Any suggestions very gratefully received

Thank you for replying! I actually love the colour of this and the shape looks gorgeous but I have never found jumpsuits look good on me - I dont know if it’s my proportions! Also slightly worried about the nightmare of going to the toilet 😂but may be worth trying on.
