help me find a dress for my birthday

Not a fancy fancy evening dress, but not really casual. It's for lunch out somewhere lovely, then sitting in a beer garden, then bars, kebab shops and the night bus home. But it's my birthday and I would like to be overdressed instead of my usual scruffy self.

I'm size 6-8 but have a big tummy, quite short, big boobs. So no long dresses and no tiny straps. Pattern might be nice?

something like this? although it is a size 8 It would hide your tummy and I think the colour is gorgous!

oooh I like that, and the colour IS gorgeous. I think I would like something a bit more summery though. It's for mid june and I'm convinced it is going to be hot.

I have this it is amazing for hiding tummies, wore it to friends at the weekend and they said I looked like I had lost a lot of weight

They do in petite

beansmum · 12/05/2008 10:54

none of them are really me TBH. I think I would like a red dress, patterned, sleeveless, knee length or just below.

I am probably a size 8 in dresses actually, my boobs are bigger than my bum.

nailpolish · 12/05/2008 10:58

ooh cd that is nice

beansmum · 12/05/2008 11:00

those monsoon ones are closest to what I want I think. It's annoying when you have a picture in your head and you can't find the right dress anywhere.

could I wear this with bare legs or would I be flashing everyone?

beansmum · 12/05/2008 11:12

I nearly bought the orange one on line last week, just didn't get round to it. I looks gorgeious in the photo. Do you think it's really short?

I might go and look at it in my lunch break.

beansmum · 12/05/2008 11:18

That cotton dress is exactly what I want! yay! I'm going to get it and I bet it rains now.
