Dress me for my 50th please

[Grtscott]

I'm looking for an amazing outfit for my 50th birthday in July. My theme is sparkles and glitter, so the outfit needs to be sparkly and glittery.

Can you help please?

I won't be happy with full on sequinned outfit. I want something that will shimmer and shine.

I'm so unstylish I have no idea what body shape I am. I've recently lost weight, so there's some saggy skin on my thighs and upper arms.

I like my shoulders and upper chest on show.
My waist has recently been refound.
I've always had an overhanging belly
My new runners calves are looking alright.
I love bright colours.

Size 10/12

Budget up to £100, although I'd be quite happy on vinted.

Hit me with your best options.

TIA

Both parts of this?

How about a jumpsuit? This sort of thing

This one.

Prefer this one

Well, it doesn't show your legs or calves - but it's certainly shimmery! Quite a bit over budget even in the sale though.

Bright, shimmery, well under budget.

Gold metallic.

Quite sparkly, over budget though. And only one shoulder on show!!!

A bit over budget. Looks much better in the video than the photos.

my word. That is hideous.

What height are you OP, & what's your colouring?

Looking through the points you made about what you like, & about your figure, I wasn't quite sure what length or shape of outfit you wanted - apart from it being shimmery & bright?!

So you'd prefer to cover your upper arms - but do you also want to show off your chest AND shoulders? As that's tricky to find (as it would need to be an off-the-shoulder dress with some sort of short sleeve too??). Just showing off some chest is much easier.

Do you want something that's very fit & flare to both show off your waist & skim over your tummy? Or are you happy to wear something a bit more fitted, with control underwear if necessary?

Finally (!!), do you want to show off your lower legs, ie you want something just above or below your knee? And is that as well as showing off your shoulders &/or chest, or instead of?!!!! Or are you happy with midi, midaxi or maxi?

It's not to everyone's taste, but it looks much better in movement (in the video) & the colour is fabulous with the model's hair.

I think this os lovely

I rather like this - great colour. You could channel your inner Joan Crawford in Dynasty!! Says it's mid calf.

I love this! 🥰

It's fab, isn't it? But then anything that says 70s disco to me, I'm there ...!!!

Demurely shimmery.

Thank you so much to you all ladies for the time taken for your suggestions, but none of them are me.

V necks look rubbish on me as do square necklines.

I'm going to be dancing lots, so maxi lengths are out. No way do I feel confident enough to wear a mid thigh length either.

I honestly don't know what I want @EleanorMc67 . I just know what I don't like and I go from there. Not super tight on the tummy, as it emphasises the overhang, but not so loose that I look like a sack. I'm 5'4", olive skin, blonde highlights covering up the grey in my black hair.

This is the closest style I might go for. Gold is not my colour though.

The poor woman's feet are so cut up at the back from those kitten heels 😔

I thought it was a joke 😂
I can’t quite put my finger on what it looks like.

This is absolutely hideous
looks like something Fergie would have worn in the eighties
how on earth does it not even come close to fitting
