Xmas party dress

Sorry in advance as I know there are lots of these kicking about. I'm short on time (as I'm organising the damn do) so prob have to shop online. Dh complains about my copious amounts of failed online shopping efforts so want to get it right, ideally.

I'm 5ft1, 9st, size 10. Ok arms, legs, décolletage but fat tummy. Tend to veer towards sack style dresses. Could blame children on my tum but it's always been my problem area. I have long blonde hair and 'normal' skintone.

Style-wise my uniform a the mo tends to be skinny jeans and a loose cos top with brogues. I'm 33 and like to think I'm still (just about) with it re fashion but starting to increasingly dress for my age Blush

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

I'm about the same size as you and want any excuse to wear this dress

LittleMilla · 09/12/2014 22:07

fruit that is gorgeous! although I'd be very worried about it looking like a bridesmaid dress on me???the model is a good 6 inches taller than me Grin

Nooooooo, it's not remotely bridesmaid-y! (although I wish it had been an option last time I was a bridesmaid Hmm ). I think with killer heels it would be fine length wise - although I'm used to everything being a bit long on me anyway (I'm 5ft2 so only smidge taller than you)

I love the one you posted above, very funky yet pretty and just girly enough.
