I need a dress for xmas day. Looked through my wardrobe and I don't have anything suitable that fits. I'm 5'2" size 16 top and 14 bottom. Maybe something I can wear with boots but not too warm. Very conscious of a bloated tummy. Budget around £40 .we are going out for lunch.

Lovely but a little bit short for me, I forgot to put my age I am 60. Looking for a nice day dress that doesn't look too frumpy

Lady Vintage dresses are good for your shape. I've only found out about them recently but they're gorgeous and fit very well! Super flattering too. Not sure if they do next day delivery but worth a look-ladyvlondon.com

We eat out at restaurants every Christmas Day. They're always pretty "smart" places. Not the Ritz but definitely not Toby Carvery either. You'd be surprised how few people dress up these days. I gave up buying something special and work with what I've already got and what feels comfortable. Obviously I don't go in joggers though!

Do you like animal print Op?

Some nice suggestions and I do like animal print but I think I need a midi length rather than a mini.

@Imtoooldforallthis have you tried Pixie Girl? All their clothing is petite cut so perfect on 5'2! This should link to their midi dresses which would be a good length on your height.
