Black tie work dress

Hello,

Please help me find a black tie dress for a work event.

I am tall and plus size, around a size 22. I have big boobs and a big stomach, wrap dresses are flattering but need a black tie dress!

Please help...

This more expensive, I'm an HH and usually find Monsoon OK www.jdwilliams.co.uk/shop/monsoon-suzanne-embellished-maxi-dress/eh866/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=3156&optionColour=Blue&pdpClick=true

I really like the second one but hate the tops of my arms so would need a sleeve or something. It's so difficult. I wear dresses everyday but they are smart casual. Need a gown almost .

What about something like this from Debenhams, basically mimics a tuxedo (sorry I don’t know how to post a link) -a lot more expensive than previous suggestions I’m afraid. Also comes in bright red if you are feeling daring!

Or this one? www.phase-eight.com/product/perry-wrap-maxi-dress-230677832.html#isSecondPage=false&start=0&sz=60&is=false&cgid=black-tie&prefn1=size&prefv1=22&pid=230677832&pos=3

it is a warp dress, which you like, but still formal and has sleeves to cover the tops of your arms.

Look at ever pretty - lots of options with long sleeves. I go up a size

Depending on your budget, Chesca has quite a selection of posh frocks for us larger ladies.

@Greenvelvet1 just check the measurements. I'm usually a 20 and using their chat I'd be a 24!
