Petite size 8 big bum: help!

Looking for any style tips for a sexy outfit for our wedding anniversary. I'm a petite size 8, 32B, but with a really pronounced, round, sticky-out bum that really draws attention! Any thoughts style people?

I have the same figure! you have a choice - disguise The Bottom or embrace it.

I tend to go for disguising and playing up my slim bits instead. Fit and flare dresses are good for this like this one from Reiss (also comes in blue)

Lots of other fit and flare dresses around too - Asos and Dorothy Perkins have quite a few I think.

If you want to show off your bottom, you could go for a bodycon/clinging type dress but 1) get decent pants so no vpl/lumps and 2) go for something with sleeves, even if it's only cap sleeves, so as to balance out the lower half.

I have a pretty similar figure too! I always embrace the bum, it's too difficult to hide it - just think JLo, noone says she should hide hers!

That Reiss dress minipie linked to is lovely. I tend to go for more pencil-skirt types like this as they really show off curves and imo are very flattering

Oh DO empasise (or at least not hide) your Envy

LBD? The red is great too! model will be at least 5'7" so probably knee length on you...
too informal?

Oh DO empasise (or at least not hide) your bum, I meant!

Thanks for the suggestions! I love my figure and I love wearing pencil skirts. I just seem to attract so much attention when I wear them due to my 'curves'! Not necessarily a bad thing though. Proud of my J-Lo bum.
