Help! Christmas party....

2 replies

TiredTuftyTeddy · 22/11/2024 22:08

So I'm massively out of my comfort zone, but have agreed to the Christmas party!

I'm 5' 7" and a size 16, want to look glam but don't feel overly confident. I'm booby, and bummy but really hate my tummy!

Anyone have any tips on how to dress myself? I've lost my identity a lot since becoming a mum and don't even know what is in fashion any more!

I know you have all heard it before but I just want to feel nice!

Thank you x

Aw, of course you can look glamorous! The best thing to do is get to an actual shop if you can, and ask one of the shop attendants to give a hand. I have no idea of your shape or the formality of the event, and what you feel comfortable in.

You could try separates, so then you can use the items for other occasions. How about a shimmery skirt, off shoulder jumper? This is black faux leather, with knit top. I'm not a huge fan of black, but it would look elegant and not too over the top.
