50th birthday dress.

[BorisTrumpsHair]

Please help MN massive. I was planning on making something but I've run out of time. I am hosting a party.

Ideal choice would be something from Vivienne Westwood but £££

I quite like this but perhaps it's a bit plain?

I'm a size 18/20 and find ficusing in cleavage (rather than high neck or boxy) most flattering.

I agree you'll feel fab in the Westwood.

Have you looked on Saint Bustier? They have Westwood inspired stuff sometimes - although they may be a bit on-the-knee for you. There's this or this?

Check this one out from TK Maxx. TK is fab for dresses.

VW jersey dresses are no longer available - sob!!

Back to work

@FauxFox I ordered both those dresses to try - thank you!! Lets hope they are good on.

I do like a lot of the Pretty Dresss Co dresses but they only go to an 18 and are crepe not jersey - I don't think they will fit me in the bust.

some of those Bombshell dresses are v nice too!

Get thee to a VW store and splurge for heavens sake

Think of it as an investment heh

I went to the VW shop at Worlds End - no dresses. They are out of stock online.

I really recommend Dolly and Dotty pencil dress.
Very flattering especiallly on larger bust.
Falls just below knee and great fabric.

How about Jenny Packham at Debenhams?www.debenhams.com/women/dresses/no-1-jenny-packham

fwiw when I ordered westwood to try on I was disappointed in the material for the price, but it would be great if it came and you liked it!

There are a few VW dresses in stock on net a porter.

Bloody love that website, great service and fancy packaging, free returns if needed

littlecabbages the Toga dress about at net-a-porter is loads shorter (above the knee) than the one on the VW site. weird.

herecomesthesun yes I was shocked to see the Toga VW dress is 100% polyester - maybe just because it is lace? Some of the Jenny Packham dresses are lovely but I don't want a long/mas dress - just below the knee.

I had to return the 2 black dresses from HoF as they were well above the knee on me.

I had a speed shop in Westfield while dc were at cinema with friend and I ended up with this which I'm really pleased with:

Got in a navy too but I will return that one.

I also got this from Debenhams for another party and loved wearing it:

Pleased to have 2 new dresses that aren't black.

The issa one is fab, well done! (Cant open the other link but sure it's lovely too)

Thank you!!!

I'm very pleased with the Issa one - it didn't have much hanger appeal and I picked it up thinking it was a long top/tunic I could maybe wear with leggings. Once I got it on I realised it was a dress. Go me.

here is the other one (bit Bet Lynch but I am OK with that):
