Talk me out of this dress. Beautiful but boring.

[Kayemm]

I have a big birthday coming up and want a new 'going out' dress for a couple of meals.

I own 2 such dresses already, black wrap over and a plain dark blue one.

After hours and hours of searching what do I find? Dark blue wrap. 🙄

This is a Phase Eight, Nancie. I do love it.

I'm a 16, big of boob, like blues and greens, definitely want a midi and have a very low waist so look a strange shape with anything high waisted.

Budget up to £200.

Ideas of somewhere different that I can search?

Thanks

Karen Millen!!!!

It's lovely - but not exciting! No special features, no embellishments, I think for a birthday it should be more "joyful". Let's be honest you could wear this to a funeral and fit in.

Also I would spend less but get two dresses, you'll feel like a new woman x

That paisley print John Lewis dress would be a great choice! (The third one in Smine's link above.) Don't go for the navy if it would feel boring.

Yeah that wouldn't be too far off for a custom fitted wiggle dress in a decent fabric.

£200 for a custom made wrap dress would be an OK ballpark - wraps don't need as precise fitting.

Wow. Some amazing dresses there, thank you so much.

I've found some new fabulous websites and I definitely have a favourite dress amongst the suggestions.

My dress for my last big birthday was a bright green wrapover. 😁I'm nothing if not consistent.

Look at the phase eight julisssa , I have it in red and it’s very flattering
