Dress for birthday party

15 replies

NeverTalksToStrangers · 26/06/2019 14:06

I am old af have a significant birthday coming up and want a dress to wear to my party.

Has to be;
Below (even just slightly) my knees as I have shit legs
Not high neck as i have a fucking huge considerable rack. I used to have great boobs actually. They stayed up on their own too. Now, not so much.
Fitted or almost fitted skirt as i have hips/thighs and that puffy stuff does nothing for me
Not floaty. I don't do floaty. It looks awful. I suit clean lines and unusual necks.
Sexy and/or stylish
Age appropriate (I'm coming 40) but not matronly.
Can be floral/patterned but not too busy
Not too casual or too weddingy.
Not pastel coloured. Will consider anything but barely-there colours.
Different. I don't want a generic dress.

Sounds easy doesn't it? Shock Confused

Budget can be stretched for the right dress but ideally under £150. Size 14, but have a month to slim into it.

Has anyone seen anything fabulous? Or can direct me to somewhere different to shop?

I like them all but they aren't right for me, sorry.

I'm 5ft2 so the first two are just too long and sensible. The red is the best but I'm looking for something different.

I realise how hard to please I am, but it's just what suits me.

What’s your budget? Because you sound like an ideal candidate for Vivienne Westwood.

Pinkarsedfly · 26/06/2019 14:55

Sorry, just seen under £150. Hang on...

Love the 2nd one pink.Shock

I'm in London next week. Any suggestions to where I might be able to try it on? Could always order etc but don't want it to arrive when I'm away.

Bugger...have to go out for a bit but I’ll research a bit more later

Pinkarsedfly · 26/06/2019 15:23

same style, different print, more sizes

MyGastIsFlabbered · 26/06/2019 16:39

Another Vivienne

Try looking at Lipsy at Next.

They have dresses your size that are fitted, look stylish & in varying colours & prints & lengths.

Approx £50 up.

Not fussed on the other red VW.
I managed to find the same dress in dark green metallic and in copper on very exclusive for £107 each I think. Should arrive Fri, along with other very dresses.

Not 100% sold on any yet though. We'll see.
