Occasion dress required

[icklekid]

So my dh has a work event coming up- really struggling to find a suitable dress. Size 8/10 5’2 so needs to be petite really ideally under £100... this is best one I’ve found so far but I’m not sure. I think it’s the length that’s wrong. I did find a longer version but felt it made me look shorter...

Oh it's nice.

Very elegant and flattering; I like it

What tights did you have in mind? That might change it a bit.

I think it’s lovely but I kind of see what you mean about the length. I think with shoes and makeup all done it will be absolutely lovely though.

Also, bear in mind, most people will be seeing you quite close up so your dress won’t affect how tall you look. I mean they’ll be able to see your actual height.

It is lovely OP, a little short but I think you can get away with it.

Otherwise have a look at Maya on ASOS - theyre a similar style and have a petite range.

Yes I was thinking tights would make a difference- I was thinking just nude?

Personally I think it's too short. I'm 5'1 so I know how hard it is to get stuff in proportion. If that's the style you want look in monsoon ( sale) or ASOS

I quite like the style but open to other suggestions...

It is nice but it looks a bit short.
What is the event?
Dinner? Dancing?
Black tie ?

I also think it's a bit short. A longer length would look better.

It’s a charity ball but will definitely be dancing rather than black tie formal...

Not too short at all - black tie doesn’t mean floor length and plenty of women will be in dresses that length or shorter.

It’s a lovely dress and you look great

I think it looks a bit too petite for you, too short on the body. It is also more Christmas party than spring dance.

I will have a look.

I think the main thing is , if you feel good in it , wear it .
