Size 20, curvy pear shape. Good waist and boobs, big bum and not great legs Hmm. Tall. Generally look good in plunging neck, empire line maxi dresses or 50s style or A line. I need to wear a bra so backless is fine as long as It allows for good underwear. Age 36. Prefer top arms covered but I have plenty of shrugs.

All my clothes are years old and only had baby 4-5 months ago.

For surprise family birthday party being held at night time. Would be great if I could get something suitable for Xmas nights out.

Budget not great but could go up to £100 for a really beautiful well fitting classic. Can't get away with tight fitting tube dress stomach still recovering ( I eat too muchGrinGrinGrin) from pregnancy.

I'm pale but love black, red, blue, green, burnt orange.

Look terrible in white, cream, mustard, yellow etc.

What about this with this or one of your own shrugs?

This is quite 50's and would be very flattering.

Love this and the ruching would be super flattering too.

How about this?

with one of your own shrugs - I know you say you're a 20 but if the fabric is soft and cut generously in the right places it is a lovely classic dress and it drapes nicely over the tummy area too.

Some other lovely prom style dresses on there as well.

Bravissimo dress is gorgeous! I like the blue velour wrap dress as well. Not so keen on the amount of pattern on the first suggestion, sorry.
