Help me find a dress please...

[bellendoftheballs]

I have NC for this only because I don't want someone to recognise the details and link it to my other posts.

I have a Christmas party coming up beginning of December. I work for a very small team and there's 12 of us going.

It's a glitzy circus themed affair. Lots of glitzy bars, dance floors, acrobats, dodgems etc.

I am so confused about what to wear.... usually I am a floral dress and white trainers person in summer and struggle with the winter; my usual Christmas party attire at previous jobs was more evening dress / black tie, formal sit down black blah

There's a no jeans/trainers policy. I'm not a jeans and nice top person anyway. Although I would like to be sparkly / glam but know there's restrictions due to the activities.

Can anyone help?

Oh for context my 35, mum of 2, size 16, 5ft 7.

Thank you so much.

Although it's very expensive

This over jeans?

Though difficult to use afterwards!

Even easier, over leggings.

(Sorry - the first over anything except jeans!)

What about this dress?www.cos.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/dresses/product.long-sleeved-gathered-midi-dress-black.1111189001.html

with sparkly accessories like these:

I wore this to a party recently and got loads of compliments. I’m the same height and size as you. I wore it with black tights and ankle boots, and a black leather jacket. You could glitz it up with nice earrings and jewellery.

I'd go glittery jumpsuit. I got one from Next a few years ago.

This from a lovely small business?

Ooh I like this one! X

Sorry all I got distracted by parenting and forgot to come back. I'm looking at them all now

Ooh that's pretty and sparkly

Love the stars!

I went to a Xmas party exactly like this. I wore a normal black knee length shift with lacy arms and a kind of lacy overall look. Don't know if that makes any sense lol. Just a normal lbd with shoe boots and tights. The circus acts you just watch and you can still go on the dodgems in a dress. You may be overthinking it OP

I've ordered this for this years party (not a circus themed one but would wear it)

I'm not a tights person 😂 I'm a legs out person. I was worried about flashing my knickers or worse my hoohaa by accident 😂

Don’t worry about any of that @bellendoftheballs . You’re there to have fun!

I've been to lots of those parties, you get a real mix of fashions.
How about a sparkly jumpsuit?

@bellendoftheballs fair enough 🤣. You won't though.

Ooh Dorothy Perkins have lots of sequin styles. They're all very Christmassy & Sparkly

Some sort of link would be very helpful 🤣

I've been eyeing this up for a Vegas themed party.
