Help me find a needle cord dress/skirt

Its my birthday soon and my lovely mum has offered to buy me a new dress/skirt (£120 approx). I am rather partial to a needle cord outfit at this time of year and LOVE these looks. I prefer a V neck (I've got boobs) and am a 12/14 with good legs/boobs and a thick middle. I need some waits definition so a waist with a full shirk balances me out a bit. Keen on brighter colours; pockets a bonus!

Although I'd love a dress I'm also open to a skirt (I have a lovely Aspiga one from last season) - one that is warm and swishy to wear with trainers or flat brown boots.

Can anyone inspire me?!

OK - narrowing it down to skirts for practical reasons. What do you think of these 2?

The Kemi Telford looks a lot comfier and easier to wear on different types of occasion. I’ve tried on a couple the shape of the Beulah one and they went back for being too restrictive and formal looking - fine for a dinner out with not much movement involved but nothing else.

Thanks all - and thanks for the other lovely selections. The issue I keep coming up again is colour. I live in the middle of the country and am surrounded by things the colour of mud for most of the year - I'm craving colour!!

The green Aspiga skirt is a good shout - I've actually got it and love it.... So it might be the KT hot pink skirt for me!

If you've got good legs and are craving colour you could invest in a variety of coloured tights, makes the dress more versatile.
