DH and I are going away for my birthday next month, to the hotel we got married in - posh dinners and all that. I really don't have anything to wear - it's truly remarkably how I never have anything to wear for any event other than going to work or lolling about the house. I did have a pretty nice LBD from Bravissimo but I lost weight and now it's too big, doesn't really do anything for me.
I'm not after anything amazing, in fact if it's a bit anonymous I would feel better about wearing it for dinner both nights! Sad really ... Anyway, I'm 5'4", size 12 on the bottom and 14 on the top (or still a 16 in some styles, 32G boobs, a Bravissimo 12SC). I find it's rare anything with an underbust seam fits me properly, unless it's specialist, so that rules a lot of stuff out. I think I can still get away with wearing black (the weekend away is for my 40th), but day to day tend to wear grey instead; I also wear a lot of purple and bright pink. Oh, and my hair will be dark purple again by then (just as soon as I get an hour to myself in the bathroom).
Any thoughts? I'd pay up to £150 for something really nice, but cheaper is better.
