Amazing dress for a lumpy body?! Not a wrap dress.

[Ostryga]

I’ve got a really nice dinner next week and want to look smart, put together but not ott.

I want a calf/ankle length dress that is going to flatter. I need long sleeve due to psoriasis on my elbows.

I’m 5”4 and a 12, but I carry my weight on my belly and thighs. I don’t really have a waist even! Can wear Spanx but would prefer not to so I can eat everything

And ideas that aren’t a wrap dress?

Oh and would prefer not to spend too much £££ as dinner is already a fortune!

This is only elbow length sleeves, but something this shape might work for you? Other brands may do a similar style with longer sleeves. www.abercrombie.com/shop/uk/p/cinched-tie-front-midi-dress-43231319?seq=01&faceout=prod1

Would this work? The model is tall, so it might be the right length on you. Viscose so fine if the weather heats up again www.johnlewis.com/jolie-moi-susan-leopard-print-shirt-dress-red/p5590291

How about this from next sale?

I wouldn't call It amazing but it's quite naice

The dresses from the John Lewis & Partners range are flattering if you can if ignore the horrible shoe styling!

This Looks good www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/amy-jersey-midi-dress-blue-wave-lotus-vine/sty-j0886-blu?cat=C2_S2

Or this www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/rosanna-midi-shirt-dress-azalea-enchanted-amour/sty-w0728-mpk?cat=C2_S2

You sound similar body shape and height to me, and we are the same size. Check out the ghost midi dresses at m and s. I have one and it's really flattering.

not my colour, but I like this from Phase 8

Try Thought - they have some lovely dresses this season and no I don't work for them! I have my eye on a beautiful red one...
