Find Me a Dress Plz?

32 replies

Hedwig06 · 19/11/2012 10:41

We as a family have been invited to a 40th Wedding Anniversary party.

Problem is I don't own a dress or heels.
I don't like going clothes shopping, so would prefer to buy online
I am a size 14-16 depending on where I shop
I have huge norks :(
I have a huge bum :(

I would like a dress to hide my shape preferable, but bloody Dresspi, keeps advising skin tight dress, which I wouldn't wear in a million years.

This will also be the 1st time I've been out in about 10 years, and last time I went out I wore a pair of black bootcut trousers and a white jumper, I need something a bit more dressy this time.

Can anyone help me find a nice dress and shoes please?

There are pictures on my profile, please don't laugh or point out my daughters very messy room Grin

Thank you x

Spurred on by this thread I went on Dressipi never heard of it before. I'm 5ft4, 8st 9lbs, have recently lost a bit of weight and dropped from a 10 to an 8, now of my dresses fit me. I have big hips though and Dressipi recommended skater/prom style dresses that I would never have thought of or worn. I always feel self conscious about my hips sticking out especially as since having DC my boobs have all but disappeared, I can't wait to try on one of these dresses now so thanks for starting this thread.
