Need your style help. Rugby club lunch.

[Stillcrikey]

Hi
I’d really appreciate some advice and guidance from you stylish folks.

It is the annual rugby club ‘women’s day’ at the end of September and I need an outfit. This event is usually earlier in the year but even so, after lockdown I have ‘nothing to wear that fits me’!

I’m 54, 5ft 6, size 14 (mostly), small of boob and have a lockdown tummy that I’m too lazy to get rid of in such a short time.
I’m after a nice dress / flat(ish) shoes etc. that can either have a jacket added if the weather isn’t good or not if it is.
I don’t want to spend a fortune unless it’s something that’s multi-functional that could be worn for work / other days out kind of thing.
Any and all advice gratefully received.

White Stuff type casual frock, whatever shoes you like, not heels, and a cardigan/sweatshirt to go over it. Or jeans/cropped trousers, nice tummy hiding top. It will not be smart. It is likely to be a breton top and flats clique.

Usual match days are ‘Breton top brigade’ but ‘ladies’ day’ (I prefer ‘women’s day’) is quite a smart affair. Full on ‘lunch’ with lots of fizz. Some of the younger women really go ‘all out’.
I’ll check out White Stuff.
Thanks.

Oh interesting. DS played for quite a big London club and I don't remember any poshing up.

It’s a fairly big fundraiser for the clubs (professional club) and aside from the summer ball, it’s as posh as it gets. Summer Ball is an evening do (black tie) bit this is a match day ‘luncheon’.
I’ve seen this that might fit the bill but all suggestions welcome.

Really like that dress. I think it's also quite versatile - you could accessorise with black, or with any of the accent colours.

Well, I’ve ordered the dress so we shall see if it fits (both me and the ‘bill’).
I’m going to get some black mules with a low heel (can’t face actual heels anymore) but if the weather is really hot that day, I may go for white flat sandals.
Fingers crossed I fit in the frock and don’t look daft / old / old and daft.
