Help! Need a smart summer dress for evening party ...

[OrchardDweller]

and I don't know where to start. I'm top heavy (generous boobs), tall and only just the wrong side of 50 so don't want something too clingy or mutton dressed as lamb like. Am prepared to throw some money at the situation but not excessive amounts. Any suggestions of where to go or where to shop on line???

How formal will it be, do you think?

this is lovely but no idea if you like/suit green
this is smart but more informal

Bad link! here's the right one. I do like a lot of their dresses though

Love the green dress from Saint Bustier - I have brown hair and hopefully will have a tan by the party. I've never heard of Saint Bustier - what an amazing site - just what I've been looking for. Quite often I buy larger dresses and then have them taken in to make them fit properly so it good to find somewhere that caters for my shape.

There's pepperberry and Odyl too but they are often a bit uninspired. The green Saint Bustier is great, IMO!
