I have recently lost almost 4stone and my figure has completely changed! I have very little in my wardrobe and don’t know where to begin. I am 43, size 12 hourglass. My best features are my neck, waist and bust (though don’t like anything very low cut), along with my lower legs. Worst bits: menopausal tummy and chubby thighs/ hips, along with tops of my arms. I like dresses that skim over my stomach, bum and thighs, but needs to be fitted at waist otherwise I look shapeless. I won’t wear sleeveless and prefer short or 3/4 length sleeves.
I am a summer and wear a lot of greens, blues and burgundy. I like patterns but nothing so too loud. I am going to a rest with my husband in a few weeks - nice place but nowhere particularly fancy. I would really like to look and feel sexy after spending so many years hiding my body under baggy clothing. No particular budget in mind though would draw the line at anything over £100, much cheaper than this would be even better. Thank you
I’ve looked and looked online but not really found anything that wowed me so wondered if there was anywhere I have been missing.

Midi wrap dress? Mango has beautiful dresses for around 40-60, have a look.

Have you tried Silkfred?

I have similar best/worst to you and their wrap dresses are flattering

Thank you, some nice stuff on silk Fred so will have a proper browse.
I love that first Asos dress but olive green is one of the few shades that don’t suit my skin tone! If that was a deep forest green that would’ve been perfect!
