Please help a fat woman who needs a dress

[Lakeplacid]

I'm going to a very smart do later this month and need a floor length dress for it.

I've had a quick look in high st shops but nothing suitable. I'm limited by my size (20-22) and my budget (£60ish, less if possible).

Can anyone help please?

Simply Be is quite good for dressy dresses in your size. I’m a 20 and have bought from there before.

I've just been looking at the Evans site who have some nice evening dresses.

I'd try Scarlett & Jo. Might be very slightly over budget, but not much. They have several long dresses in your size on their site. Debenhams also carries that brand and has this. Not sure if it's too informal? www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_64413+80754BLKBL_-1

How about Roman Originals?

Or this
Or in red

any idea what style, colour?

Scarlett and Jo, every time.

or purple velvet

Lovedrobe have some really pretty long dresses, quite glam.

M & Co

Try Chi Chi London - really lovely dresses at reasonable prices, especially right now. They have a curve section with sizes up to 26 I think.

I’m in love with navabi atm.

And a nice purple one here

I love this one, it's a bargain, they also do it in black but you can't see the details on the picture of the black

Have you looked on eBay? Especially for formal/party dresses as most people only wear once or twice!

Thanks everyone!

I have been on Simply Be and ordered this from there. Hoping it fits and looks smart enough. In the meantime I am going to keep looking, will check out ebay etc - am definitely more comfortable in black at my size.

Very nice, enjoy yourself.
