Dress (skirt/top) hunt!

[tinpotcleopatra]

Please help me find a dress or outfit for a party in February! I’m 5ft4, size 10 (ish), 48.
I quite like this skirt & top combination but it’s very expensive I think! halfpennyskirtandtop
I was also considering this but it might feel too girlish?

I also wondered about this? Maybe in other colours?

Or this…bit boring?

Opinions please! Or I’d love other suggestions.
I love wearing green & orange but can’t seem to find many options in those colours.

I should add: I’d love something with a waist. My waist is ok. Arse and thighs less so!

That's Next by the way

this one is orange, would really show off your waist and is on sale and really well priced. They have your size

Wow, thanks everyone. Especially like that orange one @Fedupwitheveryone.

can you tell i'm procrastinating stuff i should be doing ;-)

NB - i opened google and typed 'orange dress waist' it's actually quite a useful quick way to find stuff (but then i suspect it showed me brands i've searched myself)

I’d never have thought of actually searching for a waist!

I really like your first option.
I also like the River Island and Ted Baker orange dresses.

I think I like the above options as much as any I have come across, but here goes:

orangegold

darkgreen

orange

greencutout

greenfloral

greenshirt

darkgreensatin

Ooh I like that Hobbs one @Montague22!

That skirt (the expensive one - first link) is lovely.
TB dress is dull.
I really hate that top in the 3rd link.
Not a fan of the dress in the 2nd link.
If you can afford it, the skirt is really nice and I think could be worn in a number of ways.

If you like the Hobbs dress these other options along those lines:

satinwrap

shorterexpensive

velvet

I also like that orange one.

I do love the skirt @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie but if you add the matching top it ends up being over £300 which feels a bit much.

They do the Ted Baker blue dress in an orange/floral print.

Has anyone ever shopped at Lilysilk? They have some silk skirtsLilysilk skirts

I haven’t, this is nice too

skirt

This is a bargain

I like that first one @Montague22!

OP because i searched for your dress yesterday i'm now being advertised orange dresses :-)
Ghost is a good shout for waist highlighting - i've got one and the satin is more flattering than you might expect as it's decent quality so hangs well -

Ooh thanks @Fedupwitheveryone. I find Ghost dresses massive on top though; I have quite narrow shoulders so they never seem to fit me sadly.

There’s some lovely dresses here

rust

greenfloral

Are you still favouring the first skirt and top?

Thanks everyone! I ordered the orange dress from Ted Baker to try.
