Something different??

I am going to Ascot in July, so its not Ladies' Day but still a dressy up affair. I have been for the last 10 years and always, always wear a dress. Has anyone got any ideas for something different? Ordered this which would have been great if it fitted me! www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Jumpsuit-in-Monochrome-with-Ruffle-Back/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3309788&WT.ac=rec_viewed. I am just a bit bored of the same old, same old and would like to look a bit different. Been watching a thread about stylish people at weddings and am quite interested in separates. High street budget by the way!

This?

That is nice Funnyfoot thanks but I am 43, not sure if I would get away with it ! For what its worth, I am 5' 4, size 12 on top, 10 on the bottom ( hence the Asos jumpsuit not fitting and why I am drawn to separates)

Ahhhh katy what is age but a number Grin

It is pretty cute though isn't it. I will have another search for you.

Could you not buy a 12 in the jump suit then pay for alterations? Would probably be quite cheap and would give you a very tailored fit Grin

I know, I know, it is cute, and I am normally not afraid to push the boundaries a bit but was after something more... demure??? I really liked the Asos jumpsuit but it was reallly baggy on the arse. Not a good look.

This is lovely but is it a bit same old, same old?

I really don't think there is anything a dressmaker could do with the jumpsuit, anyway, I sent it back! Dh said it did nothing for me and a dress would be nicer. Thanks foxy , there are a couple of dresses in River Island I like www.riverisland.com/women/dresses/bodycon-dresses/Black-abstract-print-strapless-pencil-dress-654453and this www.riverisland.com/women/dresses/bodycon-dresses/Black-and-white-stripe-bandeau-pencil-dress-654452 so may just go down that line. Again!!
