In need of a LBD

[BreadForBrains]

Size 14, needs to have more than a capped sleeve but can be short. Ideally not mega clingy/bodywork though am open to suggestions. I don't know what my shape is, I have regular sized boobs, wide hips and am 5'8". Nothing backless. High street budget.
But definitely black.
TIA

there's loads

Sorry tethers i meant a cheap nice dress with sleeves

Are you the OP, green?

Tethers, we have a winner (or 3). I've ordered the Navenby, the asos one and the one you loved the sleeves on - let's hope they all fit because I love them all!
Thank you so much

Nuggets is not me Tethers, but had commented up there ^ about not being able to find dresses with sleeves.

Great

Sorry for confusion, green.

Likewise tethers! I do like some of the dresses you found though, thanks. I just never think to look online, usually just go round the shops and never see anything good.

Absolutely love the one you linked, Noddy. It wouldn't work for me, but I wish it would - it's gorgeous.

Why wouldn't it work for you, noddy?

I saw a really petite woman in the navy patterned version and she looked AMAZING in it. It was maxi length on her, and it really worked.

I'm petite and like midis quite a lot, with high heels. But that one would be a problem around the waist, because of the elastic - I'd need it to be more defined at the waist to avoid looking bigger/even less shapeless than I am.

I have ordered it will report back. I have a long full skirt that i wear with a leotard top a lot and its very flattering I am not tall 5'5

Are you very slim, Nod?

No

The dress looks gorgeous - looking forward to your report back!

In the meantime, has anybody mentioned this Whistles one? Or this amazing bargain for anybody who is a size 6?!

French Connection

Phase Eight

Ooh I like this and it is very cheap too

Sorry noddy, I meant Remus.

This thread is teaching me that I need to wear my new glasses which I hate

:)

Remus, I saw someone in this the other day- I KNOW it's fake leather, but it looked gorgeous. Thought of you

That is very me - you know me too well. :)

That is so nice Thats is something I couldn't wear at all waist not good enough!

I'd wear it with a slim fitting but waist skimming t-shirt, that sits just a couple of inches below the natural waist line. I have a couple of M&S Limited ones which are just the right length for that. Or I'd tuck in but only if wearing a jacket or little cardigan over.
