Need help finding a “fabulous” party dress

27 replies

I want to find a party dress that I can order to wear to a winter wedding, which has the dress code “fabulous”, and also on Christmas Day and to a smart party on New Year’s Eve (with different people at each event, apart from my husband who is oblivious). I had twins three months ago and am breastfeeding. I’m 5 foot 4 and around a size 10/12, but normally an 8/10 and hoping to get back to that size once I’ve lost the baby weight and can exercise properly again. I probably won’t be able to go and try things on as I don’t live in London so need to order something. I like this dress from Boden, but I it reminds me a bit of Abigail’s Party and I think it might look like something from a dressing up box and be unflattering on. https://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/faux-feather-trim-short-dress-bright-pink-lotus-stamp/sty-d1110-pnk?cat=C1_S2_G389

Please help me with suggestions. I’m happy to spend a decent amount, but not anything ridiculous since I’m hoping to lose weight.

Similar sort of vibe to the Boden one but a little more tailored and 1/3 the price!

Please don't buy from Shein - there are all sorts of concerns around their possible use of forced labour and inhumane working conditions, not to mention their environmental impact.

Love this in similar colour palette (but block) and looks easy to feed in!

Thanks for this suggestion. I love it and it’s a great price.
