Help me find a black tie dress?!

[AtLeastThreeDrinks]

I’ve ordered and returned about ten dresses and I’m sick of looking!

It’s a black tie Christmas do. I’m 5”8, fairly rectangular so a festive wrap dress that gives me some shape would be grand. Budget around £100 but the cheaper the better (Christmas ain’t cheap!). All help very gratefully received.

A cocktail dress is fine for black tie .

Principles at Debenhams had some lovely velour dresses.

They also have a long sleeve version in green .

Quiz. I just got a velour wrap dress, floor length from them in Debenhams. They had emerald green and a black version. Very flattering over the tum area! Fifty quid. I'll see if I can link it.

So I can only find the curve version (I bought a size 12 - I'm 5ft7 and it's a good length) and I've been swizzed on the price but never mind!

The Op on this thread had ordered some nice ones. Not sure of price

Ahh thanks all, love the green one @BobbinThreadbare123, I might try that! I've tried cocktail dresses but I think they make me look a bit like a child dressing up... midi or full-length tends to suit me much better. I'm a 10, forget to include that.

And thanks @BigFatBloomers, I hadn't looked on SilkFred so I'll definitely check them out.

Sorry, massive link above! But I bought this recently and it's even nicer in real life. It give lots of curves.

Ooh ! I like that Drink .

Both lovely and quite festive! I definitely need something that gives a bit of shape, although I don't love having my shoulders out (I get cold really easily!).

I I bought this recently

uk.monsoon.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/mon_1,mon_1.2/7451210108

Very comfortable to wear and is machine washable.

That is lovely too JJ .

Oh I love that JJ! Might see if I can find it in-store to try on and avoid yet another trip to the Post Office.

Ooh JJ that's fab! I wish I'd seen that when I was shopping. They shut our Monsoon in town and I never think to look on their website.

I saw that Monsoon one in store. Its absolutely stunning!! I've no requirement for it otherwise I'd have tried it!
