Fancy a project ladies?

[NicknameInUse]

Right. I'm going out for a meal and drinks with friends next month for my birthday and NEED an outfit, please.
I'm going into town tomorrow whilst I still have money to spend so it'd be great to have some ideas (I hate trudging round the shops).

So I'm size 16, kind of pear shaped but by no means happy with the current upper arms 'situation'. I don't want to be spending a huge amount so looking for a dress comfortably in two digits.

Any ideas would be very greatfully received

Here?

Here?

Here?

Over budget but lovely...

Wide of the mark?

tethersend I love that ASOS dress... oh to be a foot taller!!! and£110 richer!

Thanks! I like them but high necklines are a no no for me - sorry, I forgot to say, I have FF norkage to contend with also

This could look lovely!

Also this would look lovely in all the colours.

Oh I do like that Monsoon one lula - very flattering by the looks of it!

IMO Monsoon clothes are always well cut so hopefully it will be!

This?

I do like that one twas, just not sure if it's right for the occasion. I'd prefer something a bit more 'dressy' iyswim?

This maxi is extremely kind to pear shapes (I should know) and would showcase the norkage;

But it leaves the upper arms on show - so a shrug, maybe, or some exercises with tins of beans every day until the big reveal ...

Oh that's gorgeous! But (I know, there's always one of those) having ds has ruined my boobs and I'm now definately unable to go bra-free

Found some possibles on Coast website though:
