Help me find a cool dress or jumpsuit for a party.

I need something for a party in a bar. I love Tallulah and Hope but have reservations about the skirt slit length and the leg width/length on their jumpsuit.

I'm a size 16 - 18 and 5'4", apple shaped but chunky all over. Don't I sound gorgeous?

I don't like showing arms or legs, I look best in a v neck or a buttoned up collar (high round necks aren't great for me).

I'm not looking for sequins, I don't think, but I'd like something that feels right for going out in the evening, rather than a day dress or day jumpsuit.

Colours, I'm a winter so black, jewel colours, grey, cobalt, that type of thing.

Assistance gratefully received, thank you.

This looks striking in the photos, but has a couple of poor reviews. The similar green one has good reviews though! So maybe worth a try?

Some gorgeous choices here, thanks so much! Had completely forgotten about Kemi Telford and Arket. Yes, I do like pink @Divebar2021 , thanks for the reminder.

Yes, I love the black designs from T&H but I wouldn't want my leg poking out Angelina style while I was walking.

I also (sorry to dripped excuses) need to wear a bra, so something that has a very low v can look great on a perky model but can be ruined by a camisole.

I'll look at everyone's suggestions thank you.

And the one I like the look of best. No idea of what their stuff is like in the flesh though.

I’ve just bought a Religion dress after seeing it on here. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality, it was flowy and silky.

Sadly the style meant it was MASSIVE so it’s going back.

What are your thoughts on pink ? I’m about to list this on Vinted. It’s from Arket and really easy to wear… you just throw it on but it’s quite a good weight so it drapes nicely.

I have a couple of the H&M versions of this (exactly the same cut, I think), & they are a really easy-to-throw-on dress - I love them.

Ah, I might give them a try then!

Some of the shapes from Stine Goya are good for apples. Nothing much in bigger sizes on Vinted/eBay, but some in their archive (when did reduced out-of-season stuff become "archive"?!!!) may suit?

I like this but it may be too pink for you! Dressed down in main photo but another one that could be accessorised up.

That's very nice, and very wearable 😍
