Christmas party outfit - help please! P.S. no bodycon/tight clothes (title edited by MNHQ at request of OP)

Work Christmas do in 2 weeks, it's really crept up on me! It's a meal in a hotel and we'll probably go out after. I have no idea where to start looking! I'm early 30s, size 16 curvy all over big bum, legs, boobs. Midi length ideally. Probably a dress or jumpsuit or skirt top combination.
Want to order online, don't want to go shopping. Budget £100. Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank you

I love the fit of Roman dresses. I ordered loads from Next and did a big try on. They seem to hug in all the right places.

Girl in mind have lots

Debenhams have a filter for neckline, style, sleeve length etc so you can tweak to your body shape a bit more. I think some of the suggestions here might be quite unflattering as quite clingy.

How about Nobody’s child. I have just ordered this to try - they have 25 per cent off at moment which brings it to your budget just about - www.nobodyschild.com/products/emerald-green-balloon-sleeve-zora-midi-dress-d241960grn?queryID=658229a746c9f6052788afe42edaa6b3

I bought this recently and it looks so nice on and very comfortable

I wore this too for a wedding with DM boots, belt and leather jacket. I don't think I've ever had so many compliments. It does come in different colours.

TruthThatsHardAsSteel · 16/11/2024 08:42

Op what colours do you like?

Op what colours do you like?

I love green and burgundy. I like black (would rather avoid as have lots of black clothes)., purple, red, brown, gold, silver, bronze, teal. Wouldn't want white/cream/orange/fuschia.

Next have a lot of party clothes at the minute.

I loved this (Marks) on the hanger but I don't think it's what you are looking for.

Lovely but short and tight so the opposite of what I'm looking for 😂

Colour is good though 😂

Next is great this year in my opinion, and loads in store to try on.

Sooo short and I'm 5"8 as well so things are even shorter on me.

I'd have to wear it as a tunic.

I bought a sequined dress in H&M last year to wear as a top. Saw a girl in it on holiday this year; she was tiny and it barely covered her backside.
