Ball dress for a tall, fat person.

I'm going to a fancy ball in June. Please help me find something to wear Grin. I'm a size 22 on top and about 18/20 on the bottom and 5'11".
Budget is around £100 and I would prefer something long or midi length.
Don't like pale colours.

I really like this but it's a bit pricey for one night!
Black dress

Any suggestions please?

I like what you have linked to - it is pricey though.

Love the Marisota long purple beady one.

I'm going to send off for it to have a try, thanks!

Hopefully it looks lovely on you.
I remember starting to shop for my Christmas dress around October.
Just as well because ordered and send back 3 different lots before I found 'the one'

What about this?

It's a 20 but you'll have until June and a good minimiser bra works wonders Grin

Oooh, or this? Silver shoes and bag, lovely!

Like the TKMaxx one, might be a bit pale.
