Please help me find two Xmas outfits

Please help me! I am desperate for a lovely dress to wear for various daytime christmas get togethers with family and old friends, and for an evening outfit (dress or jumpsuit) suitable for various parties, including a work one. I would also love some comfortable heels for these parties.

Daytime dress: I would love v-neck, long sleeves, midi or maxi, fitted under boobs ideally and kind to chubby tummies. I don't mind what colour or pattern (I'm a clear spring if that makes a difference),

Evening outfit: I'm totally lost. Something that looks smart and sophisticated, but also fun. If it's a dress, knee length would be great or I do love jumpsuits. Short sleeves (or one shoulder?) would be ideal. Being able to wear a bra is a must!

I'm 43, a size 14, hourglass figure with curvy tummy and big boobs too. This means I Iook best if some upper chest is on show, but I do not want huge amounts of cleavage. Budget of up to £200 per outfit as both will get many, many wears. I would also love it if they were machine washable. Am I asking the impossible?

Hi sorry a bit late replying - but did you look at Catwalk Diva website?? Think we have similar figures - except I'm a bit older than you (47). Have the curvy tummy etc etc. I found this dress here last Christmas. Ruching was good on the ole' tum, and the price whilst not cheap, wont break the bank. HTH

Is this too loud for the day dress?

Not quite V neck but absolutely gorgeous imho.

Boden - lots of other colour options on this one. And it's jersey, so warm if you are out and about.

How about this for the evenings?
