I'm trying to find an outfit to wear for going out for dinner and drinks for DH birthday but completely drawing a blank.

I'm 34, size 6-8, short, no boobs. Any ideas for shops I should be looking at would be much appreciated. I feel like I've searched every website and nothing is jumping out at me at all.

Would you feel more comfortable in a dress or trousers?

What’s your budget? And what kind of look do you like?

MonsterJammin · 19/08/2021 22:36

Happy to wear a dress, or skirt, but definitely more comfortable wearing something shorter given my lack of height.

With trousers I fall in to the same old uniform of coated skinnies and a top/bodysuit.

Budget say £150.

I play it safe style wise I think because I don't have the eye for putting things together.

Check out Rutlandgirlfashionstyle on Instagram she is petite and posts lots of going out looks - hers stories are organised by shops which is handy!

What about something like this? The model is 5.8 tall so it would be longer on you.

Ebay. You can search for specific brands or type of item and stuff is so cheap.

@DialSquare completely forgot about ASOS so that's handy even for the website. I actually really like that dress but my size isn't available.

Hair is short (for me) just on shoulders, blonde and I tend to do a messy curl/wave.

I'm not an Audrey Hepburn I'm afraid. That's too classic/polished for me.

Thanks for the insta suggestion. I'll follow her now Smile

Follow 5ft fashion fairy on Instagram too. X

That's annoying as I thought I had filtered on 6 and 8. Sorry about that. But as you say, it's worth a look on there.

MonsterJammin · 20/08/2021 14:37

So I've scoured ASOS (thank you again) and these 2 look like something I would wear. Possibly more number 1 but I at least feel like I'm on the right track now so thank you for all the suggestions.

And I've ordered a jumper that the insta girl linked to (absolutely don't need more jumpers, that's where I'm most comfortable - ripped jeans and jumpers) so it's been a very productive thread for me.
