Weight gain + Xmas do: does this look classy or frumpy?

Do is a dinner/party at a posh hotel.

Have been eating like a bastard for the last few months and have gained a fair whack. Don't feel happy but also don't see the point in starting a health kick at this point in the year. Going to do low carb + loads of water this week to minimise the gut. Every little helps 🤷.

Does this look ok? Or do I look like an embellished barrel?

Will be going quite old school glam with the hair and makeup and I have a big sparkly necklace to go with it as well.

Kind Thoughts?

Also, scuse the dirty mirror 😳.

Can I be cheeky and ask where the dress is from??

You look great, definitely not frumpy. I love the dress. Classy lady not a barrel!

DP is quite enamoured with my boobs at the minute as well 😂.

Have gone from a small 12 to a proper 14. Am actually pretty happy with my larger boobs/bum - it's just my belly that really gets me down. Have a body shaper on in the pic which helps with the lumpiness.

Think I'll stick with this dress then. Didn't really want to have to buy anything new but was panicking.

Thank you everyone 🙂.

That outfit has va va VOOM! I think your curves look fab.

Definitely no barrels here!

PinkHeart5914 · 15/12/2018 16:43

The outfit looks lovely!

Maybe you have gained weight but you still look fab my lovely

JaneJeffer · 15/12/2018 22:44

You look lovely but I'd wear a slip under the dress as it's quite see-through on the bottom half.

JaneJeffer · 15/12/2018 22:45

Or maybe that's just the mirror causing an optical illusion?

JaneJeffer that's a smear on my mucky mirror Xmas Blush. Dress is totally opaque.

Thanks all. Relieved that I'm not running around the shops today trying to find something else.

Very Jessica rabbit - love it !

nannytothequeen · 16/12/2018 10:08

Wow. What a dress! Looks amazing with your curves. I'd ditch the necklace though and go for some stand out shoes in a different color. Dark red or khaki or plum.

Ohyesiam · 16/12/2018 10:10

I’d lose weight to look like you.

Thespace · 16/12/2018 10:12

Lovely!

Theothersideof40 · 16/12/2018 10:19

Lovely

DameDoom · 16/12/2018 10:48

You look phenomenal. Shapely and slim with knockout boobs.

MuddyElephant · 18/12/2018 07:03

OP you look fab and hope you had a great Christmas do. I'm another one wondering where the dress is from, if you don't mind sharing. Thanks!
