Can you find me a dress to go with these?

I'm going to a fairly casual leaving do this week. I want to wear a not-too-dressy dress with these brogues. I'd rather not spend lots of money. I'm 5'8 & a curvy (ie small waist, DD cup boobs) size 14. Thanks in advance :)

What about a skirt and a top instead? Would work well with the brogue look I reckon.

A tea dress, perhaps?

That tea dress is lovely.

I'm not very good at finding skirts and tops, I think I end up looking very 'office-y'. Are there any in particular you are thinking of feelthis?

I would go with a similar silhouette to the dress suggested by Aetae. Not too long; knee length with some fit and flare from the waist to avoid looking too 'schoolmarmish' with the shoes. Brogues look very cool with a feminine dress. Or look for a dress in a metallic finish or in silver/gold/rose gold.
Another fabric to consider and which is very fashionable at the moment is Brocade.

I like this

and this

this is a little costly but it is a style and colour that you could look out for

and this too

Just in case anyone is interested, I ended up with this lovely dress. I ordered two in different sizes & they do seem to come up a bit small on the boobs. Thanks again.
