I have a business meeting with an ex

I have to go to a meeting when he will be there, and I've done all the work I can do to be super prepared, super cool and professional for it. I've had my hair done and will do nails etc.

I really need to find a DRESS. I don't want him back - but I would like to rub in just a tiny bit what he is missing. Especially as (not due to him...well maybe a little bit, ahhh the heartbreak diet) I have lost a ton of weight recently, been doing loads of exercise and really toned up and look better than I have in years. I guess its not really about him, but about me feeling confident and ready to blow the socks off the people I have to present to. Including him ....gulp...

I have a Ronen Chen sleeveless very fitted dress which I love, but have worn quite a lot recently. I'd like something along that vein - fitted, sleeveless, officey but also pretty damn hot if possible. I'm a size 10, hourglass so body con style suits me. Well, at least until after this meeting when I have a hot date with the biscuit tin.

Oh please help! I am so nervous about this and a great dress would really help.

Poly beat me too it- Gillian Anderson in the fall. Google images have some ideas. I love massimo dussi for the blouses www.massimodutti.com/m/gb/en/women/shirts-%26-blouses-c1060552.html
But although they're quick with service they won't get to you in time- might give you some ideas? The dresses are too try hard (IMHO, not cool).

Good luck with the presentation- knock em dead!

The Coast Arena dress is lovely.

A bit above budget but this is lovely Moschino or this Raoul shift is in budget, both a bit more interesting / happy looking than a standard black shift iyswim?

Thank you all for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the pencil skirt and blouse combo. I don't want to look try hard, and I want to be comfortable and confident. Will report back!

I was wondering what you'd decided, great choice! I love a well fitting pencil skirt - understated but very sexy. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
