I've got a big birthday coming up and want to splash out on a seriously nice frock (up to £500). I've never spent lots of clothes before so this is new territory; I also don't have a huge amount of time to find the perfect dress, so want to be clever about where I shop.
By now I know which high street shops suit me (eg Whistles is good but I never even bother trying on tops in Zara, because my back is invariably too wide for them) but am not au fait with the higher end of things.
I've been told I should look out for designers from countries populated by lots of tall, athletic women, such as Holland or Denmark, which makes sense! Someone has suggested By Malene Birger; does anyone know where else to look?
Many thanks!
