I hope that link works. If not it is a phase 8 Maisie wrap dress in charcoal.
I have an important work meeting to attend in the middle of mat leave, requires me to look smart.
I bought this dress and am pleased that it is flattering to my current shape.
I have some patent high(ish) heels to wear with it. It's not the type of event I can wear knee high boots to.

Question is, and forgive my ignorance - what colour and what thickness tights? Sheer black?
I don't think thick opaque ones will look smart enough.

Thanks

The model is wearing plaques & looks good.
What about trying a 30denier black, that looks good - imo !

Thanks - in my head I think that thick tights not as smart, but I shall try.
Are flesh coloured tights a complete no-no at this time of year? (Or indeed any time of year!)

No to flesh coloured tights! I would go with Oxford's suggestion.

I thought so, thanks.
Anyone know where I can get good quality camisoles to go underneath that aren't too lacy - they need to be stretchy as I am still feeding a baby, and smart enough when they show.

M & S do plain coloured vests in their lingerie section.

Trip to M and S tomorrow for me!
