A really killer jumpsuit for my 40th

[donkra]

Turning 40 shortly and having a big birthday party. I want to wear a really sharp jumpsuit/outfit for my party. Would love some ideas to broaden it out for a killer party outfit for the occasion. Any suggestions?

General outlines: my style is more androgynous/structural/dramatic. I rarely wear dresses. Nothing "pretty"; I'm way more likely to wear a waistcoat and wide-legged trousers than a floral dress. My hair is currently like the attached picture, although NB that's NOT me; I have dark hair and eyes. I'm short (5'2"), and wear a size 8 overall. Good arms/abs/shoulders which I'm happy to show off. Budget... aaargh... let's say £250? Basically, I want to look eyecatching and dramatic and edgily stylish. So, you know, no pressure. :)

Does it have to be a dressy fabric or could it be denim?

I have no fixed views on fabric, but tbh the cut would have to be pretty great if it were denim.

Reiss have some great jumpsuits.

I love this one and if I were a size 8 with great arms then I would be on this straight away. Might be a little too girly though?

Nancy Mac have some absolutely gorgeous jumpsuits and they are just within your budget.

Silkfred have loads, how about this one?

My friend has this one but wears it with the top button undone and tucks the fabric down so it's low cut. She looks amazing in it.

sorry - I know phase eight is very far from edgy. But this jumpsuit looks much better in real life than it does on the model.

I tried this on and loved it but had no place to wear it!

Would SO wear this if I could get away with it!

This is my favourite so far! But does it come in regular as well as tall? Ironically, can't wear petite jumpsuits because all my shortness is in my legs and the body of petite jumpsuits is cut too short. But Tall fit will be too long in the body, I reckon.

Soz over budget

You sound like you've got a great figure, show it off! here's my 2cents worth.
The second one is lurex (sparkle sparkle!)

Just a few from the wolf and badger website in your general price range and the kind of vibe you described:

Always worth checking out the designer on Google as sometimes you can get them cheaper elsewhere.

You guys are awesome. Some really good options in there. I shall review and make a shortlist.

Love this one www.wolfandbadger.com/uk/black-maxi-draped-jumpsuit/

Love this!

I am the same size and height as you and I actually love Quiz for jumpsuits, just seem to be a flattering fit on my figure. I never like the look of things online though so might be worth a visit in store if there’s one nearby!
