Classy dress for very elegant dinner. Where do I look?

[ChocFudgeCake]

I'm a size 14 with DD boobs that sometimes don't fit in a size 14 dress I have postpregnancy weight and am not very proud of my legs... Please help!

What is your budget? I like Coast for evening wear, in fact I bought my wedding dress there!

Budget?

They have v nice maxis here if you want to hide your legs [empathy]

I wore the Allure maxi on my wedding day and loved it!

biba
black embellished halter maxi
purple embellished maxi
or if you are going designer vivienne is a good choice for curvy figures

Ok budget... mmm As cheap as possible? I was hoping to shed some pounds eventually, so this dress might not fit in a few months (years??!!) time.

Now I'm sallivating over the Coast dresses! They are truly gorgeous.
I was thinking a maximum of £60 or really stretching it £70 Preferably way less.
Am I deluded and won't find anything nice under that?

Thanks a lot for looking :)

DH just raised the maximum to £100 Yay!

Which of the links or Coast dresses do you like/not like? Is strapless OK? If you can indicate what sort of thing you're after i'll have another look for some suggestions that match your budget

ahh you are great, Fauxfox! Let me look again

I would not normally go for strapless but the Allure one from Coast is fabulous.
I don't like diamant'e or sexy.

this I like they don't have it in my size
this is nice too but not sure about the print

floral
black ruffle
black halter
black draped
comes in lilac, red, black or navy
prom shape in black or raspberry
satin prom in green or red
anything there you like?

Yes yes! :) My favourite is that last one. I'll try to go to M&S today to try it on.
I saw this also. Love this style, have you seen a cheaper version of this?? If I have not taken too much of your time! [Thanks]

ahh there they are

blue
different neckline

Gorgeous!! I'm going for the 1st one. It really is my style :) Now, the colour... All 3 look great. Ohhh I'm so excited :o
Thanks a lot!! (you really know your way online!)

I think I like the red best...

It arrived! I just tried on and it is beautiful. It's the red one. I cannot believe it actually suits/fits me I did order a size 16 Thanks a lot!! :)
If you are still around, should I wear it with a shoul or something??

If you will only be 'seen' inside I'd wear as it is (smart coat for journey and coat check it), if you have to be outside with the people a big black pashmina or something faux fur would be elegant.

So glad you like it
