Glamorous plus sized dress?

[BillyDaveysDaughter]

I am being dragged under duress to a works Christmas party.

I'm tired of being the obligatory fat woman in an ill fitting frumpy dress trying to cover everything up. Where can I buy something super glamorous!

I'm a size 18, with broad back and shoulders, ugly arms and legs but giant bosoms. Rather rectangular shaped - narrowest under bust, straight down through waist and hips but lumpy around the stomach.

Body con dresses look awful so I'm thinking - half to long sleeved, empire line, fitted bust but full long or knee length skirt. Plunge neckline.

I've looked everywhere but only found something which might be vaguely suitable at Evans. Where else can I try?

OMG the Gina Bacconi dresses! They are beautiful and perfect for me...but the price!!!

I've literally just sold that collectif star print dress - brand new, size 18 - on ebay for less than £20 it's gorgeous!

Emerald crushed velvet?

Joanie but be prepared to go a size or two up. Lovely dresses but will do nothing for your confidence!

Lindy bop
Helĺ bunny
Hearts and roses

Quiz clothing. Bit pricey though. X

I really like this; www.little-mistress.com/paper-dolls-curvy-pink-bardot-dress-p6029

Lovely dress but my first thought is what bra. I just can't wear strapless.

True...I have strapless, but at 34H they do tend to travel a bit.

I love that bardot dress.

Nice underwear

Navabi? They have a sale at the mo X

Have a look for the Gina ones on eBay perhaps. Of you go new, i know they are pricey but hopefully you'll get a few wears out of something like that.

I just checked there are a few in 18 on eBay. Worth a look!

The silver/grey one with cape is on there at 129.

Ooh thanks for the Curvy Kate link Freakin - I sometimes use bra stop, I didn't know CK had their own website.

There are some lovely dresses on Navabi - the ones I like are over £100, and that's my budget really. There is a nice Gina dress on eBay, I found that!

Thank you all so much, these are options I didn't even know about.

If your budget can stretch, how about Chesca?

You can find them as concessions at John Lewis, Peter Jones or House of Fraser

Here are a couple I brought recently. Both are fab:

Also in navy. I love wearing this. I'm 5'8 and it's just below knee.

Oops.

I'm size 18 too op

I also have a Lya dress. My dd's think I should wear it to every party 😀

Lyra!

My thumb has a mind of its own today.

I have a Chi Chi dress. It gives me a waist where I have no waist:-) It also had a version with sleeves.
