Outfit help needed for garden party

7 replies

Macocious · 12/06/2014 12:43

I've got a garden party to go to in a couple of weeks and I'm going shopping on my own this weekend for the first time since having my baby 10 months ago.

I tried to book in with the personal shopper at House of Fraser but she's not working unfortunately so I need some help from the style gurus

The dress code is summer smart casual. Where do I start?
I'm 5ft4, and currently a flabby size 10-12 with big boobs. Think I need something with definition on my top half otherwise I will look like a shapeless sack of potatoes.

Thanks

Try this www.next.co.uk/x53132s3?awc=5672_1402574689_de347c67194b3dbf7aea93f1062d079c

Looks better in real life, I sized up for length, it really flatters and is perfect for daytime events, sold out online but still in store.

Meant to say, it also comes in white and khaki or blue and navy.

Ooh that's cute thanks. Not sure if I might need something a bit more structured but will try it on if it's in stock

Shameless bump! Any more suggestions?

John Lewis & Debenhams also do personal shoppers so its worth a try with them.

I didn't try the next one in the end. I saw it on another thread and on the 40bum lady and decided it would do me no favours.
I got this in the end as it's a very nice fabric and good fit
dress
But now I'm worried it's a bit boring... I suppose the right accessories will make a difference

Don't wear heels!
