Hello… I am looking for help with a dress please team!

The event is industry / corporate black tie and the theme - “glamorous”

Taking place in mid July in central London fancy hotel venue. I have also acted as a judge for the awards and will have to present.

I have lost a stone - I have half more I would like to lose before then but apart from pre kids in my 20s, whatever weight I have been, I generally wear a 14 dress due to boobs.

And the boobs are the problem. Seems that whatever dress I find, I always look heavier than I am.

i have a flat tummy and legs ok-ish. My weight Carries on my back and chest.

i would like one colour - not red or bright blue. I am happy with long, or with a split.

im blonde, blue eyed, pale skin.
i am 52 and 5’5 but although I have good legs, I think I would go short … but prefer not too short.

i don’t like halter necks - but I do like a v neck, I’d prefer not too short have to wear a strapless bra.

Budget to £200.

Thank you for any direction!

Repost on the Style and Beauty board which is much busier than this one. You should get lots of advice there.

Have a look at Fairlie Curved - it’s especially for us large busted ladies!
