I have a black tie ball in a couple of weeks and need an outfit, I must have looked through 1000s of dresses and can't find 'the one'.. The event lends itself to either something very formal or on the formal side of cocktail style. I have trawled through all of the normal websites (JL, HOF, ASOS etc.) to no avail - love the advice and suggestions given on here so thought it was time to ask!
I am 27, dark blonde hair, 5ft 5in, a size 10-12 on top with very small boobs and a size 14 on the bottom. I have a tiny waist, huge hips, treetrunk thighs, a reasonably flat stomach and slightly wobbly arms which I normally prefer to cover.
Blacks, greys and beiges are my colours - I love structure and texture, no frills, flowers or fuss. I would say my ideal style (the one I spend my life trying to achieve but failing ) is classy, modern and sophisticated. The dress needs to be at least below the knee and I'd like to spend £100, but would go up slightly if it was perfect.
Thank you so much in advance, I'm excited to see any suggestions!
