Need a fabulous outfit for my 50th!

Crabacus · 23/10/2023 10:53

I'm having a party for my 50th soon and would love to look amazing for once! I dress very much for comfort and practicality all the rest of the time.
I am quite fat, all on my stomach really so it's hard to find flattering shapes. Big boobs and tall. I love jumpsuits, but also would maybe wear a dress as long as it's long enough, ideally below knee length as otherwise they just end up so short on me.

In the summer I tried on an amazing jumpsuit for wearing for a summer wedding but rejected it as it was too fabulous and the wedding was quite casual. I'm now kicking myself for not keeping it, but at the time I wasn't planning on having a party! I can't remember where I ordered it from either. it had a beaded/sequinned top and chiffony pleated legs and looked amazing on.

Budget up to £200 I think, please help me!
oh colour wise, I prefer bright jewel colours. Nothing pastel or black.

Watching as I’m in the same predicament!

Theres one 18 left so if you fell in love best grab it. You do say you don't want pastels but that light blue is a pastel?

Trickedbyadoughnut · 23/10/2023 14:25

The jumpsuit is gorgeous - snap it up quick!

Work2live · 23/10/2023 17:14

That jumpsuit is gorgeous. It’s also available on John Lewis in a size 18 - black or pastel blue.

chalkyc2 · 23/10/2023 17:49

I love that jumpsuit in black!

Gymnopedie · 23/10/2023 17:55

I think the black has much more oomph about it than the pale blue, if you want to stand out.

I know you've said not black, but think about it.

Crabacus · 23/10/2023 19:49

Yes the jumpsuit in pale blue was good for summer wedding but not for winter birthday! I've never seen it in black but just checked it out on JL and it's stunning! I've ordered it to try.

It’s on vinted for £90 in an 18. Sorry I can’t link

Crabacus · 24/10/2023 08:11

Dammit I'd already ordered from JL but will keep an eye on that Vinted one. I also ordered the Alessandra one to try too but in black sequins, I don't suit neutral colours. I'll report back when I've got them!
