I need a killer dress for day/night

[Maximusdecimus]

I’m a size 16, I’m going to a day thing that will go on into the night. Party vibes. I’m 49 so it’s a group going out for a 50th.

Budget is up to £150.

I carry my weight on my stomach so sometimes that goes into an 18 dependent on how hormonal I am.

Im going with a bunch of women where I constantly feel judged. I can’t not go. So need some help! It’s in October. Help!

Dont like that particular dress but other stuff is lovely ( jumpsuit)

Alright coco Chanel

What colours do you look good in? If you are not sure try Kettlewell . Sosandar wrap dresses might fit the bill and then combine it with the colour that works for you.

@Johnhasalongmoustache 😆😆

An empire line winter dress would work, or a wrap dress.

Empire line dresses are terrible if you have a belly; look pregnant.

People have wildly differing ideas of what a ‘killer dress’ is, as evidenced by this thread and some of the absolute horrors suggested.

We need more guidance on your usual style, OP!

This is a fantastic dress. It's not as short as it looks (you can pull up/down as you see fit) skims in all the right places, has ruching to disguise a less than flat stomach and flatters your bust. I'm a 5ft2, 32FF and every time I wear it, I have a ton of compliments.

OP, please don’t wear the grass fields dress.

Can you imagine? She's already said they judge her 😂😂

This while thread has me crying with laughter, I know that wasn't the intention!

The cos ensemble moving into the even more bizarre..

I would sack it off and spend your time with nicer people.

Me too!! Jeez!!!!!

OP is getting a bunch of links to dresses either not in her size or way sexier than she asked for.

Goldframe,
Not sure I would want to be in ' just a dress' in October.
What are you thinking of as a wrap? There are some very beautiful ones out there, they are not old fashioned. I have a light wool Inca inspired one that I wear with a long sleeved jersey midi dress.
I think it may be necessary to think about outer wear first. No good having a classy beautiful dress if OP, like me, has parkas.

@IceCreamWoes
I love that dress!
Where's it from?

Sensible advice!

Indeed!

She’s going to a party, not climbing the Andes 😂

*disclaimer I’m Scottish. So coats on a day out are for the weak and very old 😂

It's day to evening, though? Also travelling there and back. I would not want to be without some outerwear on an October evening, and I live in the sunny south.
