Theatre and drinks

[Disabrie22]

Please dress my short, 5ft 10, 36 C, 30 waist, 34 hip body with a round tubby and as you can see not a lot of waist.
I need an outfit for theatre and drinks in London xxx

What were you thinking of wearing

Most things go in London!

A long sleeved stylish dress? I can’t find anything I like - please help

Oh bless, you could wear anything for that. Do you have a favourite outfit or look?

Anything that doesn’t make me look like a sack of potatoes with no waist! I can’t wear high necks and look best in a v or big scoop as have broad shoulders.

As the other poster said, London people are very informal. Just make sure you’ve got a nice coat. And comfy shoes

I love London theatre and going for drinks and dinner before or afterwards.

I’ve been dressed up to the nines, and been straight from a day of shopping in jeans and trainers.

Which shops do you normally buy clothes from?

Hush, monsoon, sosander

OP you say short but to me 5ft 10 is tall! It sounds like a wrap dress may possibly be the way to go.

5 foot 10 is short???! I wish I was 5foot 10 with 34 inch hips…

Oh Jesus. It’s 2022. Stop with wrap dressss

I think she meant 5ft, size 10.

Not 5ft 10.

Then she’s tiny and short. What’s the problem

OP something like this is what I’d go for. With tights and ankle boots.

Hey?! So what’s your better suggestion? I think a wrap dress with tie belted waist, and boots looks fab and very current. I have no idea what you mean.

Oh sorry, OP I mean like this: www.silkfred.com/womens/clothing/dresses/bella-and-blue/midi-wrap-dress-with-short-cuff-sleeve-in-patterned-print-black

That is really nice thank you

Off topic, but if you are a size 10 you are very unlikely to be a 36 c bra. You might feel a bit better about your figure if you're in something that fits ☺️ check out boob or bust, or one of the many threads on here.

I just had my boobs measured so know this is correct. Maybe I am squeezing into a ten? 😂😂 my problem is a fairly non existent waist and back fat - makes dressing hard

Oh Jesus. It’s 2022. Stop with wrap dressss

They're extremely flattering for certain shapes, no matter what year it is!

@Disabrie22 did you have it done at m&s? If you're a straight up and down figure like you said you are, with a 30 inch waist, do you think there is a 6 inch difference between under your bust and your waist? As to me, that would be more of an hourglass figure. The old way of measuring used to add 4 inches to the under bust measurement, but it doesn't work to do that nowadays as marerials are so different to when they decided that method. You're more likely to be a 32DD ish.

Anyway, what sort of style do you like for clothing? I've seen a few bits in my quirky style on Joanie and sugar hil Brighton, but I like an odd design.

My problem is I just feel completely lost - I go on colour - more coral, deep pinks and something flatters my tummy and lack of shape
