With pictures - show me what you’re wearing to your Christmas parties - especially work.

I need help! Mid 30s, with small kids and I’ve not been out out in quite some time. I’m 5”8, size 8 with almost boobs. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I am exactly the same size as you! This is my party frock. Dressing room shot so no shoes, tights etc

I posted it on here when I bought it and a few said I could do better, but it was cheap and it's good for the low key events I'm going to.

That's lovely, where's it from? I can't work out how to post a photo - sorry. I've just bought this one which I'm really pleased with

I'm moving away from the shiny shift dresses I normally wear (that I got on ebay and have been alternating for about 15 years!) and going for this.

@TwigTheWonderKid you must be an autumn with those outfit colours!

Is that Joe Browns? I have a couple of their Christmas dresses. Love them.

Oops I thought it was a joke but I see they are not.

AdoringDavidAttenborough · 15/11/2023 23:58

I bought this years ago and wear it every Christmas. A bit on the nose, but I always look forward to wearing it.

I realise this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's very much mine. This is me trying it on over the top of my pjs when it arrived so not the best photo😂.

@Snowdropsarelovely thank you. It was from Next Outlet. I have no idea if that means it's widely available or not.

CharlotteBog · 16/11/2023 08:19

@TwigTheWonderKid I love the green Mango jumpsuit, but wooo at the price. I am used to Mango being more reasonably priced.

I am wearing this - fancy event, so floor-length is required. https://thefoldlondon.com/product/aleria-maxi-dress-cobalt-blue-and-gold-silk/

I love that

It is pricey for Mango but it's silk velvet rather than their usual polyester. And if you bought it elsewhere, I think it would cost even more.

Mango do have a lot of much more reasonably priced perfectly nice jumpsuits too. But not as special as that one.

Satin waistcoat and trousers. For some stupid reason they didn't bring out a matching blazer so I'm going to have to put a different one over the top.

It is, isn't it. If only I had an event which warranted such a beautiful dress.

ChishiyaBat · 16/11/2023 10:16

Same @CharlotteBog I don't think my jug in spoons warrants such beauty😂
