im a size 12. 5ft 3 and a bit. fairly in proportion with a bit of a tummy but i have spanx! i wear a 34 c/d bra.

i dont like really clingy stuff as it makes me a little self conscious.

ive had surgery recently and just cant face a trail around shops but in 2 weks i have a race meet with dd for ladies day. i literally have NOTHING i can wear.

im going to need a dress. maybe a jacket and some shoes.

please please can anyone recommend any websites or help me find something?

dd had found me what looked like a lovely dress and shoes from missguided but its come and i look a bit of a floozy in the dress - i need something classy and fit for my age - mid 40s. its far too low cut and seems to be made for someone 6ft tall.

please help!

I'm a similar size and shape! What's the occasion? I find louche dresses a gorgeous flattering fit, classy but not mumsy

If you live in the Cotswolds and have lots to spend, I regularly lust over things in Moloh. They are a bit wacky, I grant, but I could style them over everything I own. Sadly not tall or willowy enough but the look is engaging.

Hobbs have perfect dresses that are new in with jackets. My DD wore a white shirt and midi flared skirt to Goodwood last weekend. Jaeger sale. That's a fairly key look this year. Glam up with dangly earrings.

Which racecourse are you going to? Not everyone dresses up at a local track as they would at Ascot or York.
