Where to buy a dress....

I sometimes see posts on here and I know some of you know where to find the most amazing dresses!!! I've been invited to ascot this year. You will usually find me mucking out horses not watching them. I am 51. Size 14. Never seem to suit dressed. Not curvy!!! Any ideas where to go just to try some on or what kind of dress I need. I know I also need a hat but I have a massive head!!! Thanks. X

What's your favourite colours, patterns?
And what sleeve and length?

Honestly for a one off event I would hire or else look in M&S at their ghost or nobody's child collaborations

I think the dress has to be knee length. Guess I like blue. I might head to m and s later just to get an idea. To be honest I don't mind buying something as then I have it for anything else!!!!

it's very pretty, are you wearing a hat or a fascinator

I think it has to be a proper hat 😳
