In search of the perfect LBD

[peaz1]

I'm looking for the perfect LBD to wear to my 40th party. I need something that I will feel comfortable in all day, and that I can dress up for the night but versatile enough so that it's not stuck in the wardrobe forever after my party.

I'm 5 ft 8, very generous around the waist (12-16 depending on which shop), big busts, long legs but will probably wear black opaque tops. Nothing strappy, no halterneck style or loose fitted. I'm thinking ruched waist, or a wrap dress but no ties or belts that will add bulk to my stomach.

Sorry- budget is £50.

I'm a similar height with big boobs and long legs and have been eyeing up this from Lipsy. Tiny bit over your budget but really like the silhouette.

I got this after seeing it recommended on MN.

Love the Lipsy dress, but I think the belt will sit above my tummy and just accentuate it more.

The Simplebe dress looks great- I will measure up and see if it sits above my knee, if so it will be perfect!

Thank you both!x

Have a look at the Boden Cressida dress in black, it's really flattering and versatile enough to wear to a party or to work.
