I have been invited to a formal event that specifies the men wear dinner suits and women wear something equally formal, so probably not a cocktail dress.
I am an overweight rectangle, i.e 39.5, 36.5, 40.5, although I have lost a stone, so am feeling more confident than I did! I’m in my forties, but not frumpy. I tend to dress preppy, jacket and jeans, so this isn’t familiar territory for me!
I’m fair skinned with shoulder length red hair with some layering.
I’m looking for something flattering with an under stated elegance. I don’t mind wearing heels.
Does anyone have any ideas what will suit me and what I should definitely avoid! I only have a few weeks!
Thank you
