I'm a size 24/26 and I need a summer dress for our holiday. I'm losing weight but not quick enough for next week!

Anyway, I need a summer dress for going out for a meal where the dress code is smart - some women will be wearing evening gowns/ball gowns/smart cocktail dresses.

I've seen these, would any be suitable? I'm a very casual dresser normally as I don't take any interest in clothes as I look terrible no matter what I wear. I just wear black trousers and a black t-shirt with a black cardi in winter and black shorts/crops with a black t-shirt and no cardi in summer.

I saw this that I like but at size 26 and age 54 I think it's totally unsuitable (not to mention unaffordable) but if I could find one like this for £20 would it do? I don't care what I look like as long as people won't stare and think how awful I look as my self esteem is non-existent and I'm not going to increase it in a week.

Try The Collection at Debenhams, the size 22 are very generously sized and fit me at Size 24.

I have this and it's jersey so quite cool. Bonus being I can wear a bra with it. Think I got 20% off and free delivery.

what about this I buy loads off e bay, they are cheap and usually lovely. I bought the top one here and its lovely on, cool and flattering on my size 22, in fact I have a wardrobe full of the Zanzea stuff.

I'm liking jumpsuits at the moment - no chub rub 👍🏻 have a look at Sainsbury's TU, cheap as chips and they are generous sizes
