We have an event coming up next month, I will be compere-ing it so need a fabulous dress. However I have been looking for weeks and not seen anything.

Main criteria are it has to be full length, preferably sleeves as I'd feel more comfortable with my arms covered and ideally not black or navy. If possible under £100.

I have a reasonable figure, smallish waist but a bit of a mum tum so nothing too fitted/ fishtaco otherwise I will look terrible.

Oh and I'm a sz 14.

Too blue? I think the top would be flattering and the lace means sleeves but in a minimal way, IYKWIM.

I'm not sure that style would look good on me sorry, as it hides the waist. Plus it seems to be a maternity dress? Confused

Oops sorry! It's the kind of style I find flatters my tum but obviously YMMV.

I get most of my Mess dresses from Club L clubllondon.com/collections/winter-sale. Is this the sort of thing you were imagining?
