My 17 yo DD is a size 14/16 and 5’4”, she lives in jeans, shirts and boots. She NEVER wears a dress or skirt. She scrubs up really well and can look polished when she needs to, taking care with her make up and hair.
She has formal black tie xmas do coming up at school and I am at a complete loss of what she can wear. No way will she wear an evening dress and jumpsuits look ridiculous on her. She said she would wear a jacket and trousers but they make her look really blocky and to be honest not very formal wear, rather she looks like she’s going to the office.
I love her very much but we have started falling up over this and I’m on the verge of giving up. Can anyone offer any suggestions or any retailers that might offer a solution. A jacket that would flatter and look evening wear would be the ideal solution.
I’ve always said mumsnet will have the answers so I’m hoping you style queens can help me and DD out! Many thanks.
