What shall I wear to host my work awards do?

I have to stand on stage in front of 700 people so I want to look fantastic. I've got a few dresses but don't love any of them! I am size 10, busty though so struggle with dresses that fit elsewhere but squish my boobs or have buttons that I'm bursting out of! Budget up to £100 (and ideally something I could find on Vinted!). Don't want anything too revealing, prefer fitted to floaty, like a bit of sparkle!

Can’t help with Vinted shopping but - do you not buy clothes to fit your largest measurement and then have them altered to fit the rest of you?

Would that not be a sensible way to proceed?

This is good advice - what size do you need comfortably up top? What colour suit you? There will be tonnes on Vinted

Some lovely biba dresses in Vinted

What about a sparkly suit? Suits - blazer and trousers - are massively in fashion right now!

It probably would! I have never even thought about doing this!

I was about to suggest you hire something more fabulous than your £100 will buy. But of course you wouldn’t be able to alter it - so that’s not such a brilliant idea after all. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm a 34E/F. I look good in cooler colours - silver, navy, dark green etc.
