Please help me. Have been invited to a v cool birthday party next week in a great venue with live bands performing etc. I want to look 'relevant' and modern but absolutely not muttonous. Was thinking of dress and long heeled boots. Should be able to get to Stratford Westfield next week, just have no idea where to look.

So grateful for suggestions!!

Don't like cos dress. That color and the style. I'm not sure it'll go well with a big bottom cos I have one too .

[MaureenShit]

You know also. Meh to the DVf dress. It's like a dressing gown.

Mind you I'm crap at dresses

[MaureenShit]

That cos ones a bit prison uniform

Also check Diane von Furstenberg, her stuff in the sale is around £100. Hugely flattering, very on-trend.

Thank you all so much! Have to say I particularly love the V Westwood dress and the Clarks shoe boots. They would be perfect.

I'm the same height and size as you (and almost the same age) - I don't think you can go wrong with something from Cos. Their clothes have a really interesting cut which makes them simple but quite edgy. This could look great with a small waist. Try lots on in-store, things that look a bit meh on the hanger, often hang brilliantly on the bod.

Well I have this dress which am going to wear with black opaques and black suede shoeboots from m&s when I go out in a couple of weeks.

The whistles bella dress could also be an option.

How about this dress, with black opaques and these or these?

Budget 250ish for dress and boots

Brilliant shoe boot suggestion, of course. Shapewise, i have 36B chest, broadish shoulders, small waist but biggish bottom. Legs are reasonable. Am openminded about colour. Am a warm spring if that helps.

Well ankle boots or shoeboots would look more 'on trend' than long boots.

What budget do you have and what are fave colours and what type of shape are you?
