Is there a Christmas Party Dress thread yet?

I need a gorgeous dress to get me through several festive parties this year. Nothing too formal (think party, not formal dinner & dance).

If I post what my requirements are and you attempt to help me find something online, I’ll happily do the same for you...?

I need something:

  • Midi or knee length (I’m tall, so even ‘knee length’ is usually above-knee on me)
  • Long, 3/4 or flattering short sleeves (no tight cap sleeves that cut off my circulation and make my arms look ginormous)
  • Preferably v neck or suitable for a big bust
  • Fitted but not bodycon (needs to flatter a c-section-wrecked lower tum)

I’m 40, tall, size 14, hourglass, with 34E bust, bit of a belly, good legs...

Budget up to £100...pref cheaper but could go higher if it had genuine wow factor...

Now you go! Grin

hi OP - you didn’t say your colouring so not sure if you like the colour but this meets your criteria

Are sleeves essential? If I was taller & had boobs I'd be very tempted by this velvet jumpsuit.

As it is I quite fancy either this one or this one which are more my shape but I suspect they'll still be too long for me.

(UO do also have a rather elegant long sleeved velvet jumpsuit, but I imagine you'd cook in it at a party, would be lovely for theatre/posh dinners though)
