I'm going out tonight to celebrate my new job, found this little bargain in H&M for £7!
How would you style it?

I'm 5"3, size 14 with big boobs and hips. Oh and it's raining!

Please help me style this dress!

Black leather jacket? Are you slim of midriff? always feel a pang of fear over a cut out, bulges of flesh aren't appealing.

KittyLane1 · 09/09/2016 18:05

No bulges of escaping flesh.
DH eyes nearly popped out of his eyes (in lust not horror) When I tried it on.
Which shoes??

Ankle boots maybe? What are the choices you have?

Congratulations on both the job and the bargain! If it was me, i would keep everything else very low key: flat shoes/ankle boots (sorry - don't do heels), and, like Mardy says, a leather/denim jacket that I could whip off at some point when it was time to make an impact.

But I should add that the last time I went out on a Friday night, I bumped into Noah in the bar.

Need to see a picture of you in it.
Looks fabulous.

I gave a dress like that, same colour too, and I wear it with ankle boots and a leather jacket.

Bloody hell you're brave. We need a photo!

I'd definitely keep everything else simple. If it were me I'd wear it with my tan sandals (substituted for black low-heel ankle boots as it's raining) and oversized pale denim shirt. Hair in a loose bun, simple earrings, not too much makeup.

As the dress is so "look at me", I think if you team it with heels and heavy makeup you'll look very OTT. Depending on where you're going of course.

Dress on - yes I know my bra is showing but I'll fix in a sec.

Can we have a better pic from the front? Hope you have a fab night. Wish I was going out!

Looking great. Have a good night.

You have a good figure, but I'm sorry that dress looks awful.

Runningupthathill82 · 10/09/2016 10:55

Calista! Not much point in that when the OP went out in said dress last night.
