Help me find a dress for my 50th

[chocolatesaltyballs22]

Pleeeeease? I have two weeks to get something organised. Party in a private room of a pub so not overly dressy but want to look nice. I'm a size 14 with a bit of a belly but decent legs so don't mind short-ish. I need a petite size because of my height. Was looking at this but I don't know if it's dressy enough....don't really want to spend more than about 50 or 60 quid.

Thanks!!

Anyone???? Or a jumpsuit maybe?

Love the dress - would take you anywhere

14 is out of stock....aaaaarrgghhh!

I find Wallis are big fitting so it might be worth trying a 12!

Thanks I may give that a try.

Lovely dress. That would be ideal if you have good legs. Agree that Wallis comes up large.

Lovely dress but I'd go dressy. After all it's your birthdayyyyyy

That dress is dressy for me - I'm a jeans and a nice top kinda person! Are we talking sequins and sparkle?!

I have the size 12 in my shopping bag.......

I'd go dressy to. Why not - it's not every day you have a 50th party. I would go for a teal or magenta satiny cocktail dress. Obviously depending on your colouring.

More like this: www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_61252+284129_-1 sorry I don't have time to see if they do it in petite. You deserve to be the centre of attention - the one everyone notices. Have a fab time.

Press go! I think it's fab! And you'll be able to wear it all winter dressed down with opaques and chunky boots afterwards!

I do have my wedding Jimmy Choos which are a natural colour which would go really well with it and would dress it up a bit.

I'm blonde, BTW. Would need fake tan on the legs!

The Wallis dress is great and could definitely be dressed up or down.

Thanks all, have ordered it and am just hoping I can squeeze into a 12!

Liked it so much I was hoping they did it in regular sizes ie not petite...

They have this in regular which is similar.

I think it's a great choice - lovely.

My mum is in her 50s with "a bit of a belly" but petite with amazing legs and usually dresses in jeans, and I'd say the first one as well! If your worried about your "belly" (but I think the print will distract from it) you could get tummy control underwear?

Hey all, so the dress has arrived and it fits and is flattering (but good tip re the tummy control pants!) I now have a shoe dilemma. My options are:-

Bare legs (with fake tan/leg make-up) and nude Jimmy Choo sandals OR

Black tights with heeled black boots

My daughter (16) says boots.

We are going to need a pic to make an informed decision!

Aaarghh that means I'll have to shave my legs and fake tan and everything!!

In November? I'm saying no to bare legs.

Bare legs for a party 🥳

I'll be home to pub in taxi and vice versa, no chance to get cold.
