Please help me find THE velvet dress

[Twinstudy]

I really fancy a velvet dress for Christmas but, despite them being everywhere, I can't find what I want 😭

I'm 5'5 and a 16/18. Mahoosive boobs so prefer a lower neckline or I look like Saturn. Budget probs £150 max as I'm hoping to lose more weight but might consider up to £200 for the perfect dress.

I'd rather something short, I don't like my legs but midi just doesn't work for me and maxi in velvet I think would be too formal for what I want.

So yeah, I'm a fussy mare. Which is why I can't find anything. However I am pretty easy on colour. Please help me 🙏

Loads of velvet dresses on club L London.

What about this one?

That is lovely, love the colour, but might be a bit too body con for my belly that I'm too conscious of.

Did I mention I'm fussy?!

I ordered a cream sporty dress in this style for a wedding and it is so flattering (I am similar size with boobs too). This one looks the same style and I love the colour!

Forgot to say I also never do midi or maxi, knee length or shorter suits me but the V split made it work…I was pleasantly surprised.

I'll be wearing Anthropologie Somerset mini - from ebay, as it's past season. Very flattering.

Ah they do have the mauve available https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/the-somerset-mini-dress-velvet-edition2?color=054&type=STANDARD&quantity=1

What about this? I’ve got this and it’s lovely. Flattering around tummy area, actually comes up a little bigger than I expected though. If you do order, I’d recommend ordering two and sending one back.

This? It's cotton - corduroy, but very soft & glam.

This is ridiculously cheap 😳 La Redoute are actually true to size, so check your measurements!

Missed the picture off. £29.25.

Have a look at Aspiga (pricey) or Boden (not so pricey)

Hoping this link works.
I'm a large 16 and this dress looks great. I can wear a full strapped bra with it.

Let me know what you think!

Sosander have some nice ones

Wolf and Badger have some gorgeous ones.

I have this one from Joanie which is nicer than the photo. It's a sort of olive green. Lots of compliments when I wear it.

Thanks so much everyone! Some gorgeous dresses here, going to get some ordered and tried on (and try not to keep them all 😄)

Also this from Joanie - pussy-bow neckline but, from the model, looks like it would work well on a large bust:
