Edgy evening dress for large busted apple

[CaptainSensiblesRedBeret]

Hi all

As the heading says, I’m looking for an evening dress to wear on a cruise very formal night. I’m a big busted, 34GG, apple shape. My style is edgy-punk (skull or spike jewellery sort of thing) and I only wear black and Doc Martens, with a penchant for the patent and platform ones. I’m also in my fifties so like coverage. I do have good legs so am happy with knee length, especially as I’d probably fall down the stairs in a long dress. My budget is probably a max of £150. I hate shopping with a passion so have no idea where to start. If anyone can help I’d appreciate it.

Some of the Bombshell evening dresses have a slightly goth look to them.

not sure how it would work with a pair of GGs though?

I'm also going on a 78 day cruise, in January. I've just bought quite a few things from vinted including a black and silver Biba evening dress for a tenner and an Emmanuel for £4.50 that needs a little sewing, and three more informal dresses for the evening. Vinted is great!

I’d probably just go black and fairly classic and then the edgy bit can come from the way you style it/ accessories. (But then I’m pretty bland I think so maybe not the best person to listen to!)

i like this but I’m not sure how roomy it would be round the boobs!

Thank you @BadlydoneHelen I love, love the last one, the Claudia dress. I think that might be the one 👍
