Plus size Race day outfit

[Imnotacelebgetmeouttahere]

Lacking inspiration for race day

I’m size 18/20, 5ft 5. I’m hourglass but with a tummy if that’s possible chubby arms, large chest, noticeably smaller waist, large hips and huge bum

I would prefer something with sleeves or cap sleeves, not maxi, and not shift dresses as it just makes me look bigger all over.

Anyone seen anything nice about? Pref under £150

This is the sort of thing I want to wear but never see plus size people in < perhaps that should tell me something >

I always recommend for plus sizes (because I am and they make me feel nice!) but 50's swing dresses.

Try Lady V London, lindy bop and pretty kitty clothing

I’ve just bought this skirt, but I’m green. It’s available in black and also a nude colour in size 18, but not in the green.

Disclaimer; I haven’t actually tried it on yet as I’m still waiting for it to arrive.

*in green, not I’m green!

I actually have a Lindy bop Ophelia dress... so maybe trying another style? Any hints on which?

I like that skirt dancedisaster - I have a similar one but just not sure if it’s flattering...will try take a photo later!

I buy a lot from scarlett and Jo. I'm sorry I'm not sure how to link but if you go on the website they have some beautiful dresses

Try looking at Chi Chi’s Curve range - loads of lovely appropriate dresses & often available cheaper in the ASOS sale.

How about this?

Oh I really like that Bardot one from simply be.

The Chichi dresses are lovely! I’m not sure about the neckline with my chest (36G) so night need to try - sometimes higher necklines make me look frumpy

I like that one playdonut

I’m going to dig out my skirt and a top to photograph as soon as the numerous children responsible for my unrestrained eating remove themselves from
My lap

Have you seen the Studio 8 brand? I think it's the plus size version of Phase 8, they do some nice occasion dresses.

You sound like your the same body shape as me. I recently bought these two and they are gorgeous on, and great quality. I would wear either of them for race day. They have loads of nice dresses that look good on curvy ladies :)

Monsoon

Those ZoeVine ones are stunning! Thank you

Zoe ones are lovely but so limited in size 18/20 which is so frustrating!

And I forgot to mention that you get 15% off if you join the Zoe Vine email list.

This one has sleeves.

I am a 38J and have this ChiChi Curve dress. I wore it to a wedding but it would be ideal for the races
