After a birthday during lockdown last year, I have plans for dinner and drinks and dancing this year - nowhere particularly fancy, but still an excuse to get something new.
However - I am massively struggling to find anything!
I am 27 and currently mostly wear jeans/big trainers/oversized sweatshirts - I like the whole 90s look.
I really want a dress - but can't find anything that's quite right. I am about a size 14 (sometimes a 12 depending on shop/style) with pretty big boobs (typically a 30/32 GG/H) and just quite curvy shape wise. I am 5 foot 8.
Because of this, I don't like:
-dresses/tops I can't wear a proper bra with (I do have an excellent strapless bra but I can't do anything backless etc.)
-things that are too short - happy with things mid thigh but often high street things come up higher than that.
-high necklines/big shoulders.
Generally my worries are: outfits that make me look too big (have gained some weight recently which I am moderately self-conscious about), plus I often find that things that fit boobs/hips are then too big around waist and make me look more shapeless.
In short - I would love a dress/skirt and top combination - and to look fabulous in a 'minimal effort' sort of way. Any suggestions of outfits/people to follow on Instagram/shops to look at would be great. Budget is not fixed - would rather not spend much over £50 but could do for the right thing.
