I am going to a 70s party for a really good friend of mine, but it’s a posh one - disco glamour type thing. Trouble is, 70s style is not my friend. I’m short and curvy - mum tum means that jump suits etc look seagull on me. So I tend to wear dresses a lot but fit and flare ones.
can anyone think if anything currently in the shops that might fit the bill? I’ve spent today shopping but not found anything vaguely nice.

Think elongated cuffs, cowgirl fringes, crochet and tassles, metallic and suede. Think Dolly Parton or Suzie Quartro..

Search for sequin or lurex wrap dress.
Looks amazing on curves and it's authentic 70s style.

I agree with the poster above- lured wrap dresses look pretty 70s with the right hair do.

Yours clothing has lots, and not too expensive. What is your budget?

Or something from the Dawn O'Porter range at Joanie clothing for something obviously 70s

Check out eBay.

Hello!

Try thehippieshake.co.uk

It's a 70s clothing website - does plus size clothes as well.

Just saw a full black/ silvery sequin dress in h&m, mini but would look great with knee boots

Ebay preloved..
There will be genuine 1970s clothes on there, even for ideas.
Early 70s mini skirt and short top with white knee length boots for when the ultra violet lighting came on...
Later...
Midi dress and long boots...
Maxi dress with cleavage :)
