So I'm graduating next Saturday and they have a really, really stricky-pants dress code. Its either a plain black skirt and plain white shirt, or a black dress, at least knee length and with long sleeves.
I am old and fat and don't wear dresses or skirts. Ever. Black and white are both terrible colours on me, so I am unlikely to wear anything I get for the graduation again (unless someone dies....) So I don't want to spend a lot - maybe £70 absolute tops.
I think I would prefer to wear a dress rather than shirt / skirt.
Oh, black dress with long sleeves - simple!, I can hear you say. But noooooooo - it's not. I saw nothing in town today. I was relying on Boden as a back up but all their long-sleeve dresses in a size 12 are sold out. I've looked online and because I'm flat-chested, dresses that have no shape at all look like a sack on me. I'm way too old and lumpy for anything body-con-ish. Skater-type dresses look ridiculous on me as I've got quite a boyish figures.
Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks.
