Ladies, I hear you are up for a challenge, I might just be it ... I am shall we say a little lardier than I would like to be right now. I have a new job - the start of a new me? - and will need to be dressed to do several functions, evening do's, daytime meetings which will all require me to obviously wear something with a bit of gravitas. Since I already have hundreds of pairs of shoes, bags, scarves and blingy bits, the most obvious choice seems to be some kind of black dress.

Can you help me find one?
My problem areas are eyebrow to ankle big tum and boobs, massive bum and bingo wings (gosh, i am SUCH a catch, god bless DH!), so will need some sleevage and cleavage allowance. I guess I am 22-24.

Thanks in advance for any help. Have had a quick look at the usual suspects (Evans, Ann Harvey (House of Polyester)).

tethers has gone exponseevo! I have gone cheapo!!!

Oh, I really like that Asos Lacy one - in red Grin.

Budget wise, I think probably £150 max for the right one.
