I haven't been on a night out in around 3 years! I have a meal and then bars to go to afterwards and a fairly limited budget.
I think I'm an hourglass shape (huge knockers and huge arse) but really hate my hips as that's where my spare tyre lies. Can anyone think of anything suitable for me to wear? Would love to look great as I'm probably the most unstylish at work so would like people to think that when I'm not in a suit I can look quite good.

Don't know about if it would be too long etc but you could glam this up and could wear it for work afterwards too!

Wow I like them both, thank you! I was toying with the idea of wearing some kind of floral trouser with a tunic top but I fear that the tunic may make me look like a big square. Am I right to presume that the dress will probably go below my knees as the model will be at least 20 inches taller than me?

I think so You could do the jeans,heels and going out top combo

Ooh this is so hard! Probably the reason I don't go out in the first place! I want to do more than jeans and top but not end up spending money on something I'll only wear once

ASOS often have fab reductions in their curves range, if you go to the 70% off range. Best thing to wear is confidence remember- have a great night! X

How is your waist? I find straight cut stuff can be boxy looking- this style can be flattering and comes in a 22? Wear with bolero style cardigan and ballet flats or heels? 1950's Retro Vintage Floral Party Swing Dress - Size 22 www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00RDFLBSU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-umyvb1Z0TK0S

OP, I recently discovered this company, Taking Shape, an Australian company who sell plus size women's clothing. I have an hour glass figure and am a size 22 and they have loads of really flattering stuff. I've been to the Aberdeen and Glasgow shops so far Grin and also bought on line. They are not too expensive either.
