PLEASE link to your Christmas Party Outfit

[AeFondCrisp]

Right I'm totally stuck, got my first work Christmas party since baby coming up - I go back to work on Jan 2nd. Loads of new people in the office, I would like to go back with a bang and be 'Crisp' again for the evening rather than 'Mummy'. The things I've seen in the shops either look really odd, like stuff I used to wear in the 90's, or like the sort of thing I would have loved wearing with my pre-baby figure

I'm short, size 12 with weight on my tummy as well as a section scar so deep you could get lost in it.... pale skinned, small chested, good legs.

What are you all wearing? Inspire me please! I'm desperate!

This, from Joy

I am very tempted by the NewLook green velvet jumpsuit mentioned above. I am just wondering if I can qualify as 'petite' at 5' 6''.

This is mine

Dress

I've just bought a crinkly blue jumpsuit from matalan. It's totally not what I would normally wear, but I thought I'd try it and it looks really nice on. I'm a size 12 -14, I bought the 14 as its clingy fabric, but it actually skims beautifully and the block colour is, I think, really flattering. With some spangly shoes it looks really nice on. They had a selection in different colours, I chose the blue as it has a floaty top piece rather than being all one layer if that makes sense. I also have post baby tummy (although my ds is 14months!) and I feel like this is quite flattering. I'll try and post the link!

Can't do the link direct to this, but it's on the matalan website. Dare I say it, it actually looks better on me than on this picture, it looks a bit 'boyish' on here but in real life it looks quite sophisticated.
One thing I've learned since having 3 giant babies and the subsequent destruction of my body through my hobnob addiction is that I have to try things I wouldn't have before. My go to, fail safes, just don't suit my new shape and I feel like I'm trying to be what I was pre-baby when I should actually embrace what I am now.

This from next. I love the print. They also do it in a more floaty high neck style that is really nice.

Last years I think but I'm wearing this

This!

Tartle love that. Is it really bodycon as in super tight or does it have a bit of skim to it?

Tempted!

Thenewaverage that jumpsuit is nice. Is it a crinkly material?

I'm wearing this www.next.co.uk/gl7838s1#l28641

And some black ankle boots. I'm hoping I'll look fun, not mumsy but be comfy too!

George us dresses everyone!!

margarita look on ASOS as they had the non petite version on there.

Thanks Thispasedenahomemaker it is relatively bodycon but not super skin tight. Surprisingly flattering actually but I will probably still pull out the Spanx to be on the safe side!

Love the Zara tuxedo suit!

Buttonmoon it's hard to describe- I suppose it's a sort of permanent fine pleat rather than a 'crinkle' as the fabric is soft to touch rather than crisp like some crinkly things can be. They had others that were more sequinned but on a smooth material.

Thanks for that

French connection dress

Grr. Just went to order wither jumpsuit or tuxedo and they are both out of stock in my size.

I'm going with this. Love a dress with pockets!
Ours kicks off at mid day at quiet a formal hotel setting so it feels a bit strange if you are sitting there in sequins. Also have three hours of work to do before hand and I figured I could dress it down for the office and the dress it up a bit more for the party.

I'm wearing this skirt m.next.co.uk/g6412s4#980948
with this blouse tucked in, m.next.co.uk/gl71824s9

I wore this dress with black tights and glittery platforms.

It stretchy and flattering if you have a small bust. Not always a big next fan but they've got some ok stuff in right now.

Tartle wow that is indeed a gorgeous print.
