Hi, Looking for a seventies outfit for a party, ideally sexy. Struggling to find something flattering on my bust.

Sizewise I'm apple shaped/busty

This could be dressed with a 70s vibe with platform sandals.

Or if you prefer less body con you could go maxi skirt with v necked fitted top. Or long button down v necked dress. Or a line v necked mini dress.

A choker necklace on a ribbon would look very 70s too,

I wore dresses like this in the 70s it's not cheap but it's a current dress so could be reworn.

Or if you want genuine most of those are late 70s or early 80s, fashion didn't move that fast back then

Hi all, I was thinking more a 70s disco vibe a la jackie brown?

Joanie always has loads of very seventies stuff in their Dawn O’Porter range.

Which I don’t like but have always thought would be good for a 70s party.

I think this is where the likes of Temu comes into its own

Joe Brown's is good for a 70s vibe - and they've excelled themselves this summer! These are just the first things I spotted, there are loads more.

Wrap dress (a la D von F, Studio 55) and knee boots or metallic platform sandals? The v neck is good for a bust.

LiterallyOnFire · 05/07/2024 04:34

Joanne is a good call @MidnightPatrol

Trying to think of a reason to buy this. Blush

I'm thinking the kind of outfits worn to a taylor swift gig!

Take your decent brands and search Vinted. Much more ethical than TEMU/Shein.

CheerfulBunny · 05/07/2024 15:22

I bought a vintage navy lurex dress on ebay for a 70s party. Google Saturday Night Fever and disco dresses for inspiration. I think the red dress in the film would suit you if you're busty, it has flutter sleeves and a full skirt which will balance you out. The dress I bought is in storage or I'd dig it out, it's a similar shape. Bear in mind you'll have to size up if you go vintage, check measurements on the listing.Team up with high strappy sandals in white or metallic.
Otherwise I'd go with a low cut jumpsuit and platforms as others have suggested. Have a brilliant time! Fancy dress is such a laugh.

Iaskedyouthrice · 05/07/2024 18:23

I typed 70's inspired into the search bar on Shein and loads of gorgeous stuff came up. I like this but there's more, actual bell bottoms and halter tops. I just like the pattern on this...

I don't know how to post a link but I recently went to a fancy dress party as a hippy in a dress I bought from Blue Vanilla. I'm the same shape, a size 14 with big boobs and it fit perfectly and was comfortable and very flattering. It's the embellished sleeve maxi dress I think.
