I think you should book a personal shopping slot at a big department store (if this is still possible). Tell them in advance what you are looking for and they will have a selection of dresses for you to try on.

Sadly no big department store near me they have all closed down I’d have to travel to London for the day and that’s where I’m going for my anniversary weekend

You're only 27, why are you asking the middle aged?
Get on Instagram, Pinterest, ask your mates??

thisplaceisweird · 16/06/2021 08:03

Look at Never fully dressed and pretty lavish

Who says we are middle aged?
Antiqueanniesmagiclanternshow · 16/06/2021 08:08

Did you like any of the ones i posted?

thisplaceisweird · 16/06/2021 08:09

@BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz
The recommendations so far are Coast, Karen Millen and Phase 8 Hmm

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 16/06/2021 08:13

So? How is that the OPs fault? Maybe if posters ready the brief they would suggest more appropriate dresses.

  1. Great legs. A bit sexy.

My Coast recommendation seems to have ticked the boxes - dont write off a store just because it is sometimes used by middle aged women.

LapinR0se · 16/06/2021 08:21

I would shop on the OUTNET

Gettingthereslowly2020 · 16/06/2021 08:24

Have a look on Silk Fred

Dressingup · 16/06/2021 08:55
