Looking for something quite specific - anyone seen it?? strapless tulip dress in some kind of dressy fabric...

[ZakuroFujiwara]

I have never been able to wear a strapless dress before but, following a super-duper boob reduction earlier this year, I now can! So I am determined to wear one at the two balck-tie partays I have this Christmas (even if my bingo wings suggest I should take an alternative route...)

So, strapless dress with a tulip skirt. Colour wise - ideally either black or a 'jewel' type colour. As it's black-tie would prefer the material to be something quite swanky (satin, silk, sequins, whatever?). Need a size 16. I am late 30's with dodgy Sharon Strzelecki style legs so knee length or just above Budget - up to £250 (although, as always, would prefer to spend less)

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance ladies

Lipsy do loads of strapless dress and are very "party". I fear they may all be too short though...

this is gorgeous but too short I fear and not tulip - sorry

I absolutely love love LOVE that dress but would need to wear black tights for my legs so that kind of rules it out and, realistically, it's also a bit too close fitting. And, it prob is a bit short (although I'm only 5' 4" so most standard things tend to be a bit longish on me anyway).

Definitely my kind of style though - loving your work! Any other suggestions?

Must say, a true tulip is hard to find but these are nice

Oh I absolutely love that Lipsy dress!
