Is this a nice dress for a Big Party? If not, what is?

[clary]

black dress

I am looking for something to wear to my (shh) 50th b/day party early next year. I am size 14 or so, big boobs (so no strapless!) and 5ft 6 tall. Don't want maxi really as I am not that tall. OTOH I do want to lok glamorous and fab in a way I never normally do.

Oh and I'd like to do it for £100 ish!

TIA x

That is gorgeous, buy it!

Wow, yes!

Hmm no, not for me. I think it's a bit frumpy.

No. Too mother of the bride

Like!

Dress is lovely but needs glam accessories or a brighter colour! What about this one - www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_008010818542_-1

Just.

Not.

Debenhams

No to the blue one. Bridesmaids

I think you could find nicer to be honest.

I think I'd go for something a bit more structured. There are loads of party dresses in the shops at the moment - I'd just go and try loads on.

I really don't like it.

It's very boring and, as said above, frumpy.

50 is not in any way old - don't dress like a pensioner on a cruise!

Will have a look.

The blue one is truly dreadful btw.

Get sleeves

something like this?

Bunny - don't hold back

dvf rip off

I am similar height with big boobs and heading for 50 also.

I would go for something like these - I agree the one you linked to is a bit frumpy

black

lace

my fav, also in black

blue

red

That's just from John Lewis

Hmm OK I see the bridesmaid thing now....

LOL @ pensioner on a cruise!

I can't do anything strappy like Ruby's or a couple of cece's as I need a bra. But I am liking those lace ones. Right I need to go and try some on.

Any more ideas well received. Am off to footy now but will look later.

Wot's wrong with Debenhams btw LordPalmerston?

It's the Home of Polyester

Bumping for the stylish Sunday evening ladies :)

I wore this dress in red for my 40th last year- it also comes with long sleeves. I'm also size 14. It is a proper WOW dress. More than one person actually said it...

That's a lovely dress flashheart but what's holding my boobs up?

it works fine with a bra, the shoulders can be as bare (or not) as you like. (control knickers-optional!)

Something like this? Comes in a variety of colours.
