I’m struggling.
I’m going as a plus one with my husband to a black tie event next week (17th). It’s very fancy. I ordered some dresses but none suit and I’m really stuck. I’m a jeans and jumper type of girl.
I’m 5”2 and a several stone overweight. Obviously no time for a crash diet... my normal dress size is a 14 or 16 and I carry all my weight round my middle. Colouring wise I’m very pale with very blonde hair (natural colouring). Pale colours don’t suit me at all, normally burgundy, deep purple, black, navy, greens, blues but not too pale or bright are best.
I probably won’t wear this dress again so my budget is £50 but I can stretch a little. I have another £50 for shoes... I can walk in heels but since having children my feet have expanded and I only have boots now so no dressy shoes.
I am a ball with legs, honestly the weirdest shape. Boob wise a C cup. I never wear long dresses but as this actually specifies “dress code black tie NOT cocktail” I’m guessing they mean long!
Please help I have no idea where to start!
