Size 16 Black Tie-ish outfit - which shops?

3 replies

I have a few hours tomorrow to hit the shops (shopping centre with most high street shops).

I need a size 16 dress/jumpsuit/trouser-suit. Prefer a V neck and to cover arms and legs.

Ideally I’d love a simple black outfit with metallic shoes, or ‘dark metallic’ fabric.

However I’m flexible, just need something that fits and suits the occasion! It’s an awards event but creative industry so not strictly formal.

Budget up to £200 for everything.

Can anyone suggest which shops are best to try?

Is there a John Lewis near you?

If you can, it would be worth ordering some stuff to a Next store to arrive tomorrow, that way you can try them on together. They have lots of brands, not just Next.

Monsoon. They also have a sale on at the moment but I also agree that John Lewis is a good place to head.
