I have a special birthday coming up - I want to look my best but feel frumpy! I need a special dress for the party! I hate my tummy and want to look glam and have something flattering! I’m size 20 but short. Big boobs/ tum/ bum!

Exciting! Sounds like something to look forward to 😊
What colours do you like?
Any styles you’ve seen that you like the look of?
what colour is your hair?
Anything you don’t like e.g. sleeveless?
What sort of budget?
Is it in Summer where it’s likely to be hot?
Lots of questions, but helpful to get an idea of what you’re after.

Thanks - I’m excited but feel frumpy! It’s mid summer so will be warm - not keen on arms and mid section in general - I like pinks and blues and white - summery colours. Ideally under £200 and I am keen on lots of style but tend to suit midi dresses 😊

Have you seen Laura Adlington and Lottie something or other on instagram? They often do dress try ons and some are lovely.
