Festival dress for one of those posh banquets?

[EachandEveryone]

Any ideas hopefully weather will be nice. I am too heavy size 16 and there people tend to get dressed up. I have a line in my upper arm that I’d like to disguise. I don’t think I’d feel comfortable in a jumpsuit due to the loo situation. Foot wise I can only wear Uggs or Birkenstocks

What do you mean by 'doesn't touch me'? Does that mean too small?

I am a G cup and have a coupple of lovely Joanie dresses that accommodate me

How about this. I wore something similar to a festival style wedding with flat sandals

Would you be able to wear shoes in a flip flop style, OP?

Kemi Telford if your budget allows - any time I see someone in one of her dresses they really have the wow factor

They are beautiful I’m just not sure about the shape of them? I’m not bothered at this stage about the money as long as I can wear it again. Oh god, I’m getting fat Saltburn vibes.

I went to one of these sort of things and I wore an Onjenu jumpsuit and I was overdressed compared to everyone else. They were all in jumpers and trousers so I wouldn’t worry too much about dressing up. It also whizzed it down with rain and there’s no such thing as a glamorous waterproof!

I saw this recently, looked perfect for festival vibes dressed up or down https://www.riverisland.com/p/pink-abstract-puff-sleeve-smock-maxi-dress-911772?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMItp2UlPqfhwMVgZZQBh3SwAatEAQYAiABEgKKP_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Some of the ones on East might work too:

Have been wracking my brain trying to remember this one. Saw it ages ago and thought it was beautiful and would be ideal as a recommendation on this thread but couldn't for the life of me remember where I'd seen it. Fortunately got an ad this morning!

They still have a 16...

Yes!

HH here and love Joanie dresses. Definitely look at their viscose blend dresses but they're my favourite.

That Monsoon dress is actually IN STOCK in XL at Monsoon itself. https://www.monsoon.co.uk/beatrice-broderie-dress-blue-10000960178.html

Something from here? They will also adjust sleeves/length to your requirements for free at point of order.

Just a note about jumpsuits - wide leg are usually ok to pull up & to the side negating the need to pull them down.

Ah, thank you, I had never heard the expression and I was trying to get my head round it
