Help - I have no idea but posh meal out

[blimeyalldecentnamesaregone]

Ok, firstly I'll admit that this board scares me. I have never been comfortable with clothes and have no natural sense of style. I usually wear very boring black trousers and boring top for work (occasionally dress and jacket) or jeans and t shirt outside of work. Both almost like a uniform. I am a size 22 with nice boobs but an awful belly. I cannot wear heels unless they are chunky and less than 2 inches.

Ok, so I am going out to Le Gavroche for dinner soon for a meal we have saved a while for. I would like to feel special but also comfortable.

Any ideas?!?! Thanks in advance.

Love the burgundy with lace one from Asos.

All good choices so hopefully one of them will be perfect.

Thanks

Ok, dressed have all arrived and I have had a big trying on session. Can I get opinions please??
Firstly, this is the same dress in two colours. (I know I need a nice plunge bra).
This is probably my favourite dress.

This is the wrap one which looks good from the front I think (although the top is slightly oddly cut). It makes me look pregnant from the side though 😟

This is the last maroon one. It is lovely material but the top is a bit odd shaped and looks like I haven't got big enough boobs to fill it (they are a F cup so plenty big enough!).
It feels nicer quality than the others but strange top

Final option would end up something like this but it feels very boring....

Am getting in the bath now but will be interested to see opinions.

Obviously will wear nice jewellery too

I like the maroon one, I think it hangs nicely from under the boobs, you could try it with a plunge bra to add a bit of cleavage?

How exciting!

I like the navy wrap one best on you. It looks more stream-lined than the others, somehow.

I like both Maroon ones, probably the first one, slightly better.

The navy wrap

Thank you but aghhh, you're all saying different things !! I agree the navy one looks good from the front but I do think it looks worse from the side than all the others. I definitely feel like I look pregnant in it, it was very comfy though...

bluebell which maroon one did you think hangs nicely?

I definitely need a new bra for any of them. I changed out of my usual everyday balcony bra as you could see it too much in most of them but the one I had on didn't sit right. I think a nice plunge bra is being called for.

First black one

The second maroon one

And the second maroon one.

I think the first ones are too 'weddingy'

The second maroon one but maybe you could try a size down.

Thank you all. Second maroon one is definitely winning so far. Will re-try on tomorrow to see how it feels again. It definitely felt better quality than the top two.
Will try on a few different bras with it too

Will also investigate whether I feel I could try a size down and still eat

I like the navy and the 2nd maroon best. I think the maroon might be a bit too big for you though.

Am I allowed to say that I like your 'boring' option? I don't think it's boring at all. All the dresses are great too, and I particularly the first maroon one, but don't dismiss your final option! The right necklace could really bring it out.

You'll have a great time no matter what you wear.

I don't like either of the motion ones. I like the blue one best. I agree that if you went for a mega necklace the boring one could work - as long as the trousers are not polyesterish.

Maroon not motion!

Something like this

I like the second maroon one best, then the navy wrap.
Not sure about black shoes though, it's a very dark and wintery look...know it's boring, but do you have any nude shoes,that might work?

Hope you haven't lovely time, I'm very envious!

One of the maroon ones.
