Plus Size party/evening dress!

MrsFrostyTheSnowman · 30/12/2019 19:00

Ladies help!
In a couple of weeks I have a work awards evening, dress code is loosely black tie however I’ve been lots of times and any smart party/ Christmas type dress will do
I’m size 22 (20 in some shops/styles) with my Problem area being fat belly/hips/bum
I’ve usually got something from studio 8/ Debenhams/ monsoon, I can recycle old dresses but wouldn’t mind something new
Can anybody recommend some companies? Don’t mind paying a bit more if it’s a good fit etc
Thanks!!
