Please could you help me to find:

Size 22
Available online with normal delivery ie nothing that will take a month to come
A dress
Knee length- ish (Am 5ft 10)
Suitable for interviews at offices where people wear smart business dress
Nothing floaty
Black/navy/gray/deep purple/deep green type colours though as long as it fits the conservative label will be happy
Under £150
Ideally in a "tulip" shape ie coming in a bit at the knee
I can wear a blazer jacket over it if needed

Any tips on where to look much appreciated

There might be something here that meets all your needs - some aren't that nice but there is a mixture

Phase Eight and Wallis might be worth a look.

I'm also tall and plus size, so know it's hard to find nice things sometimes

This is just over the £150 budget but it looks fab on the model:

If you have a black blazer or even a shocking pink one, this might look well:

Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate it after a morning in town struggling to find anything to try on and what I did try on looking awful.

@LookItsMeAgain I ordered the first Karen Millen dress, £113 delivered with a code, brilliant!

Fingers crossed for you (both that you look fab in the dress and that the interview goes well for you).

Thank you - first interview in 16 years, fingers crossed!!

this is in jersey but it’s a good weight if fabric so hangs well. The shape is lovely

Flurbegurb · 28/11/2022 13:28

That is lovely too, thank you - think will order one aswell!

Try the pretty dress company. I've had a few dresses from there and they're great quality. I'm sure they do up to a size 24 on some styles.

Topbird29 · 28/11/2022 14:51

Next may have something suitable they now have lots of other brands (Monsoon etc), and you can filter by size and category.
Might be worth a look if the ones ordered aren't quite right. Hope they are, and good luck!

Flurbegurb · 29/11/2022 07:45

Thank you @Laurdo and @Topbird29 - great ideas! Ordered a few from Next yesterday, one of them was Monsoon, hopefully something will fit 🤞

Theres some stuff at Nordstrom, most are under $100 I'm sure and they perfectly match what you wanted- i think
