Christmas meal out

8 replies

TwoHoots74 · 20/11/2021 22:09

Going to a fancy restaurant and drinks after to a clients Christmas do.

In my head is like a lace dress either forest Green or black. I'd like long sleeves, v neck and short ish. I plan on thick tights and sock boots.

I'm a curvy size 14. There's someone there I want to impress so want to look amazing.

Hope the photos have worked. They're kind of the style I'm after.

Please help. I've not been out for about 20 years!

Obviously not the fake tan!!!

It's the blue oasis dress but would prefer a v due to being busty

I love that Oasis dress with the the deep V.

I think someone will be along who knows about fashion and stuff to tell you the right thing but that's a great dress imo.

I do like it but would prefer it a little shorter. I'm only 5'3. I'm hoping my huge boobs would hoick the length up a bit.

The black Oasis dress is nice but not keen on the wide sleeves. I think fitted sleeves or balloon style sleeves would be more flattering.

The blue Oasis dress is rather short. Do you have good legs to carry it off?

Love the other stories one. Especially the green. Shame it's sold out.

My legs are ok. They're not skinny but not chubby either. They're quite firm and had planned on wearing tights.

Saw the next lace one. Not sure it looks cheap though.

I also don’t like the wide sleeves.
Have you tried Monsoon? They are good for this sort of thing

I'm off to look at monsoon. Forgot all about them.
