Please choose me a dress for my 30th!

[howthefuckdidthathappen]

I'm in DIRE need to get out of my comfort zone. I always end up with a black fitted dress for all occasions. Looking for something utterly fabulous for a big birthday.

It's my 30th coming up. I would like to avoid something boxy and sensible. I'm getting my hair and make up done and want to use the chance to look fabulous. It's an outdoor garden party with a festival theme (it's all been planned for me) so I'm trying to find a dress that will suit me and look fabulous. I've attached a pic of me In case it helps at all. I'm 5'3 and a size 6-8.

Budget £150

As I need to factor in new shoes. I still love a heel but will probably wear a wedge as it's on the lawn.

Thanks all! Please send me some suggestions!

As nice and pretty as some of the dresses posted are, please don’t play it safe… I’d wear some of them to the pub on a Sunday arvo! Something like the asos mini is perfect, you want to go all out for your birthday!

I’ve just ordered this for a big night out and it looks absolutely lovely on.

This is a bit boring for a festival theme though!

I missed the festival theme! Never mind 😁

I’d look at DollsKill for really fun and sexy festival outfits. It is a US website but delivery to the UK only takes about seven days and is free if you spend iver 100.

Go 90s festival.
Charity shop slip or tie dye dress.
German army shirt or colourful hoody.
Big boots.

Have a look at “self-portrait”, they are the best for dresses and have an amazing sale twice a year

No idea, but have a fantastic birthday. Guessing you're not in Scotland as it would be wellies and rain jacket 😁

You are a 6-8 with fantastic legs. Why in gods name would you wear a maxi.
Go short go sassy.

Im
baffled by some of the dresses suggested here!
Whilst they are all pretty, the OP is young, with a fantastic figure and it’s her birthday party! Why, oh why would she settle for a pretty, bbq garden party dress.

I wouldn’t call any of them Festival themed. Lovely though.

OMG, can't seem to quote, but the Valentina jumpsuit posted by @startingoveragainagain wins the thread for me:

There's something about it... Stunning and would make the birthday girl stand out in a very effortlessly cool/ floaty way.

Although if not this, I think you should go legs out, and bright/ fab! I love some of the other colourful/ sequin/ embellished options posted on page 2.

You definitely need the dress to be 'special' OP, don't pick something that doesn't make you feel downright fabulous.

I agree. Some of these dresses you'd wear to a christening!

Id wear that on a Saturday to potter around town.

A dress is needed for a 30th festival bash!
