Please help me find a dress (or jumpsuit?) for an awards event… I want something ridiculously extra and everything I see online just looks meh. Happy to rent or buy… preferably below £150.

I’m 5ft 9, size 8. Want something that screams ‘here I am!’ Short is fine (preferable) but prefer not to have boobs out. Feathers, sequins, giant shoulder pads, whatever- just something WOW!

Sorry, this is not much help but I saw this the other day and took screen shots as I thought it so fab, so I’ll share.

I love the colour/shimmer of this, just feels a bit too demure with the simple cut up top. Needs some spikes or 4ft ruffles on the shoulders to get the level of ‘!!!!!’ I’m hoping for!

Thankyou though!

The. taller Madrid is what came to mind but still over budget. The Steve Madden has an offer if you sign up to emails

I only ever wear dresses to weddings and Christmas parties but I LOVE that, it's my favourite colour and I love the style. Really tempted to buy it even though I have nowhere to wear it to 😄
