Help me find a dress for my hen do!

Hi all, would love your help!
My hen do is end of May so I still have a little time but like to be organised, ideally I would like a dress but not closed to other ideas.
I am 27, size 16-18 with huge boobs! I like to have my arms covered and not a fan of low cut, I prefer a higher neckline.
My style is a little bit vintage/boho and I'm open to any colour!

I know you're open to any colour, but are there any colours you prefer/ look particularly good on you?

I like this and it comes in a choice of colours. Is that at all your style?

Lj8893 · 14/04/2015 13:09

Ooo yes that's very much my style! That's a good colour on me too! Thanks

I don't think you'll find a dress with sleeves easily, because not enough dresses have sleeves but also the tea dress style rarely has them. So you'll need to find a cropped cardigan or similar. (H&M etc)

I just lost a long post with lots of links so I'm going to post them individually now Smile

Silk floral with pockets!!

I love the last one, although I don't think it will look quite the same on me Hmm the others either have too short sleeves or are just generally too short and in the petite range so I would probably be showing a little more of myself than needed!

Those tkmaxx ones are lovely but not me at all, and I look abit frumpy or too casual when I add cardigans/shrugs.
