Party in 2 weeks and I HATE everything I have 😭 just been through the wardrobe and everything is too tight or looks frumpy/dated or both. I really struggle to find stylish looks for my body. I’m 5 foot 6, size 14 with an apple shape. From the front I can look slimmer as I have slim legs and arms and an hourglass shape but from the side I can look quite barrel shaped, tummy from the front has a bit of a c section overhang so anything too tight doesn’t look great. Some sort of ruching or support around the lower tummy works best. Also I have 34 D chest so can look a bit matronly in the wrong shape. Halternecks and clothes that show off my legs and arms look ok. I’m blonde and look bad in any thing beige or brown but pretty open to any other colours. Based in Ireland so ideally anything that can be purchased high street here or easily returned needed. Venue kind of cool late bar, comfy-ish footwear also needed - send help!!!!

Given that you hate everything you have it might be worth trying something entirely new?

Do you have anything by:

Kindred?

Even if it’s not your usual style it might be worth going through the site at least twice. The clothes are beautiful and perfect for a summer party.

Oh is this the label with the beetled linen? I read an article about them the other day.

Beautiful 😍
