Calling all you lovely lot. I'm going to be speaker/finalist later in the autumn. Financial services, high profile. I feel rubbish about myself. I am short and v overweight (working on this but it is more of a long term thing). I don't want to wear a suit because it does not suit (sorry for pun) me at the moment. I am short, apple shape and have a large chest. I would preferably prefer a colour to black so am thinking green or blue. High heels a given due to my height. Budget wise I'm looking at £300 max.

I am thinking a dress. My usual go to is COS or Massimo Dutti but I just don't know with this one. Help!

I like something like this which is up to size 24 (I didn't see if you said your size or not). https://www.marksandspencer.com/plisse-gathered-neck-blouse/p/clp60583853?extid=ps_ps-pla-pmax_ggl_ww_ch__-UK-_-_newness&gclid=Cj0KCQjw84anBhCtARIsAISI-xfcl-mW32-WfxhPIYaBNFZN6k82r9QXJASRzWenQi05i1mFuSh3IxQaAuZ6EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
