It looks gorgeous. I’m a 5’7 Apple shape with 32f boobs and no waist (59kg and size 10) — am thinking i’ll Grab one for a black tie do as well now. Thanks for the inspiration, OP!

Yes indeed!

It's a great choice, really nice!

SAK1976 · 13/11/2018 22:16

Absolutely lovely

MinesaPinot · 14/11/2018 09:15

Yes, absolutely you could. In fact I've been looking for the exact same style so thanks to you, OP, I might get one for a couple of black tie events that I'm going to next year!

Have a lovely time at your event.

SaintEyn total derail but at 5' 7" and 59kg (9st 4) how are you a size 10? Surely you're an 8?

I'm 5'7" and currently 10st (63kg) and would love to be 9st 4 again as I used to be!

When I was though, I was definitely a size 8.... A 10 would have hung off me. I have 32D chest so not far off your size. Just thinking that maybe you are underestimating how slim you are at 5'7" and 9st 4lb!

What type of black tie event is it? If it's a military one, then no. It must be floor length.

Todamhottoday · 14/11/2018 10:05

Its a nice dress but for a black tie I would go with a longer dress, esp if its a military one as Hash has posted above.
