Evening dress for work do

14 replies

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 24/10/2014 11:27

Help please! I need formal wear for a work event and I don't have a clue, so I'd be massively grateful of any suggestions

I'm short (5ft2ins) so I can't do full length, but I'm happy in heels.size 16/18(not good I know but not gonna change in a month) I like arms covered/dresses with sleeves. Oh and cos I'll have to speak to important people, I don't want to show too much boob.

Colour wise I've got accessories that would work well with black or pewter grey, but also like strong colours....

Oh and budget probably £150 max, but preferably less

Please someone, help me look like the stylish professional I'd like to be

How do you feel about snakeskin?

ClosedAuraOpenMind · 24/10/2014 15:09

Tethers, love the shape of that dress, but I really can't see me in snakeskin....sorry

And Bewooo, I hadn't seen that thread, so thanks......but still nothing for me.

Needs to have sleeves, and can't be too blingy
