Hi!

DS1’s graduation at the end of July and I need to get prepared with something to wear. Would anyone be interested in helping me?

My Stats….
Mid 40’s
5ft 7
size 20-22
apple shaped - big boobs, belly, small bum and slim ish legs
strawberry blonde hair

Particularly suit - green, purple, bright, pastels

Can’t wear heels

Dont mind showing off tops of arms

More comfy in trousers than dress/skirt, but not totally adverse to a frock!

budget up to £100. Could do more for something really nice

Anyone fancy the challenge? I’d be very grateful!

TIA

I asked a similar question - but for Christmas parties (thread was titled something like, Fifty, Fat and Frumpy - I can’t find it now). I got some very good advice - and some fairly bizarre suggestions (no, I don’t want a tight dress, slit to my knickers). What I ended up buying was wide leg, flowy trousers, and a Hundred Stars kimono, which is very much my normal style

I think you should wear something fairly close to your regular clothes - you’ll feel more relaxed, which always makes you look better.
