Dress me for my friend's 50th party

[TheOrigRights]

It's in a pub, so nothing fancy and I'm sure there will be the full spectrum from jeans to fancy cocktail dresses.

I don't really have 'party' clothes. I have either jeans and nice tops for casual meals and evenings out, or really fancy dresses for weddings and the like.

I am 5'8", size 8/10, no particular bits I want to hide.
I am small chested so high neck or halter suits me better than low or v neck. I have arms that I am happy to show. Length - anything apart from floor length I think.

I prefer simple/smooth lines, as ruffles, ties, whistles and bells tend to smother me.

Is there a budget?

No more than £100 I guess. I won't bother with a bag, but might need shoes.

Thank you. I actually really like the closet london one, though I wish the model would just stand up properly rather than flop about!

this might be good too, as long as the top is quite fitted.

I've ordered the closet london one and the one I linked to.
Let's see!

Well they arrived quickly.

Pics attached. The green fits (though was an absolute bastard to get off), but I think has too much space on my chest. I don't have the boobs for is.

The brown is lovely, but too snug around the arms/bust so I'll get the next size up - unless you think it looks awful?

Except it's out of stock now

Both look lovely on you. Go with whichever feels best. What shoes have you got ?

Neither feel best. The brown doesn't fit and I think the green doesn't look good on me.

I agree that the green does nothing for you. The brown looks great in the pic - I’d try the next size up (if you can find it) or something else with a similar shape.

Closet have a website - looks as though they have stock.

Oh wow, I could have sworn I checked if they had their own website.
Clearly not!

I've ordered the 10 - express delivery (leaving things to the last minute tax!)

Fingers crossed.

And THANK YOU!

Glad to help - have a great time! 😀

Oh yeah that new dress that poster has suggested and you have ordered is much nicer

The dress and the shoes have arrived. I shall go to the ball!
