Big group of friends going to see Pete Tong Ibiza Classics at Royal Albert Hall on Saturday night in a few weeks, then out for drinks/dancing somewhere afterwards. Group includes one guy who I’ve had a very flirty friendship with for a while now. He’s never seen me dressed to go out out so I’d quite like to impress beyond my usual “jeans and a nice top” style! I’m 39, 5 ft 5ish and about a size 8-10, decent sized boobs so need something I can wear a bra with. Footwear undecided but will probably go for my black flat suede boots which look good with dresses, shorts, jeans whatever. Grateful for any and all suggestions and advice!

Sounds like the perfect occasion for a little black dress. Or a casual t-shirt and satin slip dress/skirt. I'm not keen on the idea of flat suede boots though, are there any other options?

Well I definitely don’t want to wear heels and be tottering around all night, but also don’t want to wear trainers. They’re quite funky studded boots, just above knee high but kinda slouchy, not like a riding style boot. They look good with shorts and mini dresses. But open to other suggestions!

Kinda like these? I think you could wear those with a LBD, sheer black tights and great jewellery, done. It would have to be a mini mini with the boots I think, e.g.

Heels aren't the only other option though, there's ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers etc.

(Sort for the crap link, it's not letting me embed that one).

Bumping just in case!

I gave you quite a few suggestions, what did you think of those? Perhaps other posters could give you other options if you give some feedback as we'd know your preferences.

I'm not keen on the boots tbh.

I would probably go with a jumpsuit or else a satin midi skirt with a tshirt and trainers like this

The dress is nice but the top half is a bit boxy, I’ve got quite big boobs so not sure it would really suit
me
