I'm invited to a summer party where the dress code is sparkle. I've already got dresses I need to return and soon the postage will cost more than the outfit! I'm mid 40's, tall and a generous 14/16 with shoulder length brown hair. The majority of dresses have shoestring straps and I definitely need a bra! I'm fairly athletic so not too worried about legs and arms being on show but so many of the dresses I'm finding are a bit too clubby. If anyone fancies an internet search or has seen something whilst out shopping which fits the bill, please would you mind telling me where this mystical 'unicorn' type dress is hiding (max budget £150).......

Not sure this is very summery but it's a nice colour

jenthehen · 12/04/2019 20:04

That phase 8 one is pretty. I’d better start making some decisions!

I was in Debenhams yesterday and they had loads very pretty sequin dresses on discount

I'd probably go with a simple dress or jumpsuit I'd wear again and again and sparkle it up with something like this www.anthropologie.com/en-gb/shop/jacy-sequin-embellished-kimono?category=SEARCHRESULTS&color=009 or jewellery/something sparkly in my hair or make up/nails/shoes so I'd get more use out of it in the future.
