What to wear to a May birthday party that will travel well?

[Whichpartyoutfit]

Needing your amazing help please.

I have a friend's 30th birthday to attend, I'll be travelling there and back in a day and it's a three hour journey.

I should be able to change when I get there.

I'm 39, size 12/14 having lost a lot of weight over the past year and really don't have a clue what to wear.

I live in jeans and DMs/Vans, or work clothes.

Needs to be practical enough for a train ride home. Party is low-key, daytime at her home.

I want to feel great but I'm at an absolute loss on what to wear.

Would be really grateful of ideas please!

And everyone will be a bit younger than me - so I don't want to feel frumpy!

A jumpsuit? Comfy but an instant outfit and can work with trainers.

You need to give a bit of a steer on what you like and budget.

I suppose I'm a bit alternative (or used to be) and I want something that makes me feel great.
Not keen on showing a lot of skin and I'm v pale. I prefer dark colours. I'm 5ft 7ins. Budget £100 ish?
Jumpsuit might work but would consider a dress that would go with DMs.

At a budget of £100 for a dress that I could wear DMs with, I'd go for this. The price varies from £79 to £120 depending on the material.

Nobody's Child Starlight dress

Or Joannie. They're all within budget and most can be worn with DMs

How about something like this with jeans?

Oh good shout. There's a lot of interesting stuff on Sister Jane.

I love the black starlight dress thank you! With DM sandals maybe.
Not loving the blouse or sister jane stuff sorry - bit out of my comfort zone

Is this too casual?

Have a look at LittleLies, they do gorgeous dresses and fit the slightly alternative style theme.
