I need a fabulous birthday dress

[MirandaPr1estly]

It’s my 30th next month and I’m struggling to find a dress for my party.

I want something utterly fabulous and stand out, sexy without being trashy but nothing is grabbing me!

I’m 5”3, size 8 on top and 10 on the bottom, small bust but curvier hips and bum. I like my legs but would definitely consider midi or full length. Light brown hair and will have a subtle tan on the night. Nothing frilly or tent like, and most importantly nothing ordinary! Budget £500.

My thought exactly (plus I need the figure and legs to carry them off).

I love the 16Arlington dress 💗
Did you know you can hire those dresses?
Fantastic for a special occasion that you might not want to wear again.
I’d almost gone down that route for a longer 16Arlington dress for a wedding before Christmas. I’d tried it in Flannels to get the fit right and adored it on. But I was afraid, with the postal delays before Christmas, that it wouldn’t turn up when I needed it so I went with a different dress.
Also love the Rick Owens dress.
Let us know how you get on with trying the pieces you ordered.

Thank you again lovely people. I’ll keep some of these in mind if the dresses I ordered are a disaster!

A lot of those dresses have such a high neckline, reminds me of Harry Hill. Ny neck would be 'strangulated'! I like the green sequinned dress and the light blue/silver? cross over though.

@MirandaPr1estly i just stumbled across this and thought of you https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-gb/shop/product/loveshackfancy/clothing/mini-dresses/lightning-sequined-stretch-jersey-mini-dress/1647597287481554?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=display_retargeting&utm_campaign=INTL_UK_alwayson_lowerfunnel_ec&cto_pld=CCBccmZUAADjwOAdSWc-cg

I actually favourited that last night! How spooky @sleepwhenidie. I’m hoping one of the two I’ve ordered will work but it doesn’t hurt to have options. Thank you 😘

I would check out needle and thread OP, some stunning dresses on here

Oh @MirandaPr1estly I love that so much!!

Like PP I would love to be 30 again and be able to wear such gorgeousness!!

An influencer I follow on insta wore this to her 30th and I think it’s amazing! Admittedly it is also very very expensive 😬

Revolve have some fab dresses if you don’t like any of the ones you’ve ordered!

Needle and Thread do some lovely dresses.

@MirandaPr1estly - have your dresses that you've ordered arrived yet? How did they work out for you?

This is so classically elegant. I love how they've done the little cap sleeve on the dress. I'm getting huge Jackie O vibes from that dress.
