Party outfit inspo

Help S&B

I need an outfit for an event where the dress code is 70's disco. Think boogie nights / Studio54... you get the picture.

But being a well endowed, middle aged 50yr old, size 18 woman, who likes to hide my arms and tummy, I'm quite stumped.

Please please help me.
Happy to spend up to £150.

Thanks 🤩

Flared jeans and a bat wing top with wedges.

This is the sort of thing I used to wear to a disco in the 70s with a pair of snakeskin pattern stilettoes.

Most of the stuff selling as disco wear is glam rock rather than disco.

GoldLameDarling · 29/09/2024 08:36

Thanks so much for answering @GettingStuffed I bet you looked fabulous 😎

Am leaning more towards a dress than jeans. Anyone else have any more ideas?

Last 70's night i went to, i wore a sparkly loose fit mini and silky knee high boots. It looked really good.

I think you need something sparkly with a nod to disco style, a bit Diane von Furstenberg. Ankle strap stilettos if you want to look more authentic! Any of these?
