I have a christmas party next weekend and just can not find anything. I am a size 20ish and we have a meal and then a nightclub. I am 30 years old if that helps. I just can not find anything now I have put on lots of weight.

Does it have to be a new outfit? Have you got anything that you like that can be dressed up with some new shoes/belt/scarf/ear-rings etc?

What sort of things do you like?

LesbianMummy1 · 09/12/2012 10:23

I have nothing suitable already I have a few nice tops but not really suitable for a nightclub I have one dress I like which is a raspberry colour but shows too much bulge

How about these? They are all from ASOS and I think if you use code SAVVY20 you'll get 20% discount.

This is lovely

This one's sparkly

This one's vintage fabulous

I personally think the first one in particular would be really good for a night of dinner and clubbing. Have fun! Smile

Take a look at the ,dress for size 18' thread just down the page as there are alot of responses on there which may be helpful.

LesbianMummy1 · 09/12/2012 12:54

Have found few I like in new look but not sure as they have no sleeves may have to go and try some on though but not sure what I could wear with them

OP posts:
PerryCombover · 09/12/2012 12:59

I know this might sound dead obvious but wear decent bra knickers and thick tights

i went dress shopping yesterday (with v limited mobility) wearing stripy ankle socks. ffs

PerryCombover · 09/12/2012 13:00

i mean when you head down to new look...all i could see was the blardy socks and came home with nothing

LesbianMummy1 · 09/12/2012 13:02

Nearest shop to me that does that range is 20 minute drive so not too bad but would be annoyed to come home empty handed they have good underwear shop nearby so may treat myself also would need to find some tights somewhere too.
