Holiday evening wear

[Dippypippy1980]

Trying to pull together a capsule holiday wardrobe and am totally stuck on evening wear.

I am late thirties, 5’2”, size 12. I have a big bust. It is a very nice resort, so I want dresses, but anything too floaty makes me look like a whale.

I have ordered some dresses from Boden and banana republic bit they looked awful.

Any suggestions?

Linen shift dress? I find them surprisingly flattering.

OK ... interesting ... can you suggest any brands??

Next have very popular linen shifts.
What about shorts and a nice top? More versatile, and I find gold sandals and good jewellery elevate everything.
I get good navy shorts, have gold sandals/wedges and wear tops like this? I wore last years version of this top loads.
Or this? With good jewellery it would be perfect.
People don't like to dress up too much in the heat.
What about this www.whitestuff.com/womens/dresses/multi-sunrays-dress/dress?

Shirt dresses really flatter my big boobs.

Next have some brilliant ones - they are midi length but get them tailored to the narrowest point on your legs to make them the most flattering.

The next linen shifts are great, and I noticed today they're back in stock again for the summer

Also love this playsuit.

Thank you all - I have ordered some to try on!!!

I have a few dresses from next that are great for holiday. Mine are from a couple of years ago but I think this is this year's version www.next.co.uk/g7286s8#306019
