I'm looking for something that covers my arms & tummy.
Any colour except white.
I want to look contemporary, not too middle aged.
Smart but not black tie.
Any help greatly appreciated Smile

If you don’t mind black this dress would look tremendously elegant - and contemporary! Lovely fabric. Size 44 is an 18 and Cos is usually generously sized.

I like that but it really feels too dark and drab for a wedding.

We’ll have to agree to disagree, dressupinyou! For me celebratory dressing is all about luxurious fabrics and sharp, simple shapes that will look good in photographs. (Not easy to find on a budget.) Black is such a lovely foil for jewels and beautiful accessories - I’d be delighted to see black silk dresses at my wedding. (If I were having one.)

MuddlerInLaw · 09/09/2022 18:22

This is polyester but it’s a pretty, if more traditional, shape. They don’t seem to have an 18 but I’d imagine the 20 might be ok.

Isolated Heroes have some awesome dresses up to size 28.

Donald Stanley has reopened as well - she makes bespoke.

MuddlerInLaw · 09/09/2022 18:40

Those Isolated Heroes dresses are indeed awesome! (But the only plus size dress with sleevesI can see for anything close to £100 is covered in red sequins!)

Every item they make goes up to a size 28, so all the dresses will be available. Lots of elbow length sleeves as well as long.
