I'm going to a summer evening event and I need to fucking slay.

I'm average height, size 14 (but on diet) with big boobs. Can't go bra-less. Will wear bare legs with fake tan, and brown leather heeled sandals.

I want full on summer glory. Thinking green background with lush florals. Possibly flouncy. I want to look like a walking summer day. Money no object within reason. Open to short sleeves but not full length.

Any beauties out there?

Do have a browse through all the Monsoon ones, because they’ve got a lot that fits your brief, but I personally would go madly off piste with this one.

Oh bugger just seen it’s got a mesh back so difficult to wear with a bra

..you looked at Simplybe? I'm a busty 14 and find some real gems on there, including The Ultimate Dress which I havent had occasion to wear yet as I'm still waiting for the oscar, but makes me look like A GODDESS.

That Coco Fennel dress is gorgeous

I think this one is gorgeous - light green, floral and floaty :)

Boden sizes come up large. I’m a 14 but easily wear a 12.

I’ve ordered 4 tops from silk Fred and the quality has been dire. Maybe I was unlucky but I wouldn’t risk it. The return system is also annoying and all to different addresses and one return they didn’t get and I had mislaid my proof of postage (my fault) so had to suck it up.

Sorry no new dresses to add!

I know this is a next £40 dress but I've just bought it for a posh do and it's stunning-my figure sounds a lot like yours (albeit a size up 😊)

Highly recommended. Shame no model photo
