Dear wise women of Mumsnet, I am going on holiday somewhere very hot this summer and I am looking for dresses (or other outfits) that are suitable to wear in the evening for dinner and drinks and I am really struggling so was hoping to get some ideas here! I am in my early forties, a size 12-14. My arms and legs are both slim and I have big boobs and carry quite a lot of weight around my bum and stomach - I would definitely say pear shaped. I like the look of maxi dresses but don't think they do me any favours, especially when they have flouncy sleeves. I prefer mid length wrap dresses or shorter shift dresses. I'd prefer something I could wear a normal bra with. I like to wear jewel colours, navy, other shades of blue. Never black. I've got a few hundred pounds budgeted so happy to splash out on an outfit up to about £100 or buy 2-3 cheaper items. Look forward to hearing your suggestions 😄
