John Lewis must haves

What is it with pleats? They look awful on me
Anything with a seam at the waist or gathered just makes me look dumpy and is often in wrong place
I don’t like floppy flippy floaty stuff or asymmetric hems
Nothing against JL by the way I’ve had some lovely stuff from them
I would like a dress to make me feel special not for a particular occasion but got a sunny holiday coming up and would wear for evening if going out to an expensive restaurant (we always push the boat out on last night)
I’m 50s size 12-14 hourglass figure 5’4’’ short torso with long legs
Arms ok and don’t mind above knee but not too short
I suit blues turquoise purples cerise black and white
Don’t mind plain or patterned
Budget up to £100

This style would suit me but not sure about lace
I have something similar in black and white dots which I wear for events at work

It took me a while to figure what you were talking about..Is this a surreptitious advert for JL ? being as your user name is JL

I like the embroidered dress

This is a weird thread

JaceLancs · 22/06/2018 08:55

Sorry to cause confusion it was due to the MN thread at the top entitled
John Lewis fashion must-haves for any event
I looked and none of them would suit me at all so hoping you fashionistas could find me something

Thanks Oldraver it’s just the lace I’m not sure about - also I don’t really wear pastels - hoping to have a tan and would like something brighter
