Panic! Need an outfit able to cope with........

[toastedteacake]

smart school open day to include; tour of school, presenations and prize giving, picnic lunch and sports afternoon. There are some v.chic mothers there and I always end up looking like a sack of potatoes in comparison.

I am 5'2-3, I am what T&S call a Vase. Usually wear a 12-14 top (mostly a 12 as otherwise shoulders are too big) and 10-12 bottoms, though the busts and waistbands are a little snug at the mo .

I went to Monsoon yesterday and tried on three dresses which all did up beautifully around my ribs, but there was no way the norks could be persuaded to fit! (34 F BTW)

Budget wise less than £100.

Thanks in anticipation

that too

Thanks all for your help. I too am sceptical about Olive green colour so I am going to the shops to try on...... will let you know how it went.

Joules one very pretty, will try that too.

Unfortunatley, no Hobbs or Kew very close by so will need to travel further..... what they like for returns if I order over the internet?

i have just sent for that reduced kew one, in navy. free delivery code KEWAB1 so no risk. i have very broad shoulders rather than gigantic norks (am dd) but find their stuff usually fits quite well and i am a different size top and bottom too.
