The green version is very nice.

ObieJoyful · 19/10/2024 20:48

OP, have a look at Disturbia.

Just check the patterns- some of them have a ‘dark’ theme!!

Not sure your budget, so maybe this is a bit pricey, but it's in the sale—very 70s, very glam and flattering:

The L should fit you according to the size guide (I have a few things from this brand and find the sizing generous).

As someone who was here for the 70s that's far and away the one you need.

I have a similar shaped one to the silver Lovedrobe Ombré dress which hides a multitude of sins.

Not your colour scheme but I bought this on a whim and I love it! Defo flattering and the sleeves are chefs kiss

(Though why have the model lying on the floor?!!)

ladymalfoy45 · 20/10/2024 19:26

I got one from Joe Brown's for a Margot Ledbetter vibe.

Barging in here - sorry! Loving this dress. Do you think it would be to much for Abba Voyage? I'm quite old though 😂
