Fabulous dress for my big birthday!

IamNewToThisGame · 03/08/2024 12:31

Can someone help me find something fabulous for my 50th? I am thinking red as I (for once and unusually for me!) want to stand out although I’m open minded to other colours.

i am size ten with a tummy so bodycon is an absolute no. I don’t need to a bra but have a good bust and my legs are probably my best feature.

please inspire me! I want to look glamorous but also classy.

I love this, but it's probably a bit marmite.

Good point! I suppose I was thinking around £100 but for something amazing I really would
splash out. I LOVE this dress but no, not for me. I am short, 5’3” and this would swamp me. I was imagining showing my legs and a bit more fitted tends to suit me….

I like this but it doesn’t feel glam
enough…. Lovely though, Thankyou!

£76. She's got some much flashier dresses in petite, if you're happy to go up to about £150. It's a great time of year to be dress shopping!

Maybe something like this? May be a bit wintery though depending on when your birthday is! There’s normally quite a lot of Hope and Ivy on Vinted if you like their stuff.

I quite like this one too - although it looks much better on the model than on the first picture.

It says crystal embellished- I’ll bet it looks much more glamorous in real life.

Only a thought, but might hiring be an option?

this is definitely glam and would show off legs!

Love!

Saw this in the window of Zara today and made me think of this thread…
