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. :)

So after some deliberation... I was forced to admit that the Topshop red jumpsuit was just too big 😥and it threw off the lines that made it. Smaller sizes all sold out. So I will be wearing the rainbow Topshop Halpern suit - I know it's not to as many people's taste, but it makes me feel partytastic and like I'll hit the eye like a firework.

Now I need earrings! And also to figure out what to use to support my boobs a bit - the top of the jumpsuit has some boning but it's not really sufficient. Tit tape? Stick-on cups? I despise underwires, so a strapless bra is out.

You look fantastic!!!

Stick on cups would probably give more support than tit tape I think (I'm 34GG so no experience with anything without industrial-strength wiring 😆)

I think this is amazing but for £25 would probably be nothing like the photo!

There were loads of them for sale on eBay over the Summer ( the Halpern one) I bet it will be fab.

Missing the point of the t thread but that hairstyle is fab. Does it work on you? I have thin fine straight hair. Would it work on me??
