Outfit for a nice lunch and baby shower- size16/ 18

I’m going away this week and have having a nice lunch out and also going to a baby shower at the weekend. I’ve recently lost weight and half my clothes are in storage so I only seem to have jeans and jumpers that fit and the weather has suddenly improved.

I need to order something nice to wear but not too summery just yet. Ideally the same outfit for both. Baby shower is just a get together with a buffet and Prosecco in someone’s house but people will be dressed nicely smart/ casual.

Everything I’ve seen that I like will be too summery and I think I’ll be cold. Please help! I went out at the weekend and was in tears before and I felt like I looked so awful even though I’m the lightest I’ve been in years. I’m 5ft 3, 34H boobs and an hourglass shape. I need a defined waist and need help on shoes too. Thank you.

Oliver Bonas is often great for hourglass shapes. There's usually room for boobs and lots of defined waists. I find their stuff too short for me so I'd imagine it would be perfect for someone your height.

Watching this with interest as your figure sounds very like mine - I'm a J cup, and 5ft 2. Well done on losing the weight - not easy!

I'm thinking I might look for dresses/jump suits that I can wear a jacket with at the moment, with tights, then without in the summer?

That sounds perfect but I haven’t seen anything right! I don’t love my legs so don’t want anything short.
