Got big night out planned for Friday.

I have gained 4 stone since DS!
I'm now a size 20... 5"10.
Biggish boobs, smaller waist, big tummy.

I'm blonde, fair, and late 20's.

I'm thinking of a black dress?? Nice hair and red lipstick??
We're going for drinks in a naice bar and then going dancing.

I have NO clothes!
Send me ALL your links! Every one! I want to feel FANTASTIC - can you tell I never go out?!

I love a retro.

This is outing but I borrowed this from a friend a few months ago

It looked ok. This will give you a better idea of my shape - I'm wearing a petticoat under this dress

You are gorgeous. Seriously. I have got this playsuit. It's v nice and with your colouring would knock em dead. Expensive even in the sake but with it imo. www.annascholz.com/sale/crepe-jersey-lace-jumpsuit-black.html

Have you tried Lindy Bop?

NC4now · 29/07/2017 19:12

Oh yes, love a jumpsuit. The right one can be super flattering.

NC4now · 29/07/2017 19:13

Also, pencil skirts look fab on your type of figure...

Depressedanduseless · 29/07/2017 19:19

I love that jumpsuit!

tissue yes I love lindybop - that's what the polka dot one is, but I have found the cut of them really hit and miss.

I've found with Lindy Bop the ones with the satin bust I am true to size but the others I get a size bigger

(Looks a bit "curtainy" on the site but it's lovely in real life).

What do you about this with black tights and ankle boots? Curly hair and smokey eye?!

Try Samoon which is part of Gerry Weber and does quick deliveries as does Navabi. Other places I shop are Monsoon, Boden , Artigiano, Lands End.

Good luck and enjoy your night out!
