Going away to a smart country house hotel for the weekend and need a couple of nice dresses to fit a 14/16, 5'6" and my tummy is my problem area.

I've got lots of nice Floral day dresses so looking for more evening type thing.

Hoping

It’s thick and good quality, I’d wear with nude flat sandals

so should have said under £60 each if possible but could stretch a little bit. We is like top of arms covered too.

Ok, I have this in black and spot versions which can be dressed up or down with jewellery (hunt for a discount code). I opt for longer length to cover knees

This might be over budget even with discount but it is a heavier jersey and flattering for evenings

They're lovely dresses but have quite similar - was looking for something a bit more special

I know what you mean. Somebody else more knowledgeable will be along with good suggestions. The places I’d look next would possibly be over budget

This is nice, is it too similar to what you have ?

Jigsaw have got a sale on atm. You should be able to find something within your budget if you like their styles.

Why not go on eBay and look for more expensive dresses that are being sold more cheaply?

Yes that’s also a great option and is where i buy pretty much all my clothes now. Obviously best to buy brands you are familiar with so you can be fairly certain they’ll fit well.
