Hi,
Id love some help from people who understand clothes more than I do.
Im on a diet and for my 1st treat I wanted to buy a dress for a nice lunch out Im going to with my boyfriend and meeting some of his friends. Im in my early 40s and fairly curvy. I need an 18 or 16-18. I think at the moment Im a bit of cross between an apple and an hour glass shape and 5ft 6ish. Blonde hair, brown eyes, pale oliveish skin.

I have a small budget so Vinted options are very welcome.

I was thinking of this, but wonder if its a bit boring/frumpy
