IHopeYouStepOnALegPiece · 19/08/2026 23:32

I have these earrings which I LOVE, they remind me of bubbles 😁 and I’m looking for a fun dress to wear with them for a friends 50th party - not fancy dress fun but something fun!

I’m

  • a size 22
  • very Apple shaped
  • have a large apron belly so nothing tight there
  • reasonable boobs šŸ˜‚
  • haopy to buy and wear shapewear
  • Dont suit a high neck
  • will be wearing flats or v low heel
  • hair will be down and shoulder length big curls with lots of volume

Budget of £75-100

I’m SO bored of wearing black maxi dresses! I want something that makes me feel fabulous and is fun! And it’s fine if you don’t like the earrings, they’re my joy šŸ˜‚

Scarlett and Jo do curvy lady dresses in bright colours

I have this dress, although I wear in on-shoukders not bardot.

I took it on holiday and at every wear, my family affectionately call it "the summery-est summer dress that ever there was"

I am determined to wear it lots through winter, because its do joyous! I've bought a base-layer that works underneath, and may team with a blazer at work

I love those earrings. What about a custom tulle skirt, worn high on the waist, over a fitted scoop neck body?

My mind immediately went to velvet. How about something like this? Available in your size and several colours that would suit your beautiful earrings: https://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/yours-london-curve-green-velvet-wrap-dress-163646-p?ltiCountry=GB&ltiCurrency=GBP&utm_source=chatgpt.com

"they're clip on which is fine but im wary of them slipping off, any ideas how I can make them a normal earring?"

Dh bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for our first wedding anniversay but they were clip on and I can't cope with the feel of those. Took them to an independent jeweller and he was able to convert them for us very reasonably.

Edit to add - just seen another poster had an idea too. Sorry!

I haven't read all the posts, but I came here to recommend Dolly and Dotty and Popsy Clothing. If you like a bit of fun in your dresses you will LOVE these sites. I can see now someone has recommended both but I promise you won't be disappointed. I recently wore a D&D dress to a wedding (it had red pandas on it!) and got so many compliments

I've seen some fun, colourful dresses from Love & Roses at Next. Are any of these your style?
Slightly over budget but so much colour!

This one looks like it might match the blues/greens in the earrings
https://www.next.co.uk/style/SV116321/Y70541 (also available in pink).

I came here to suggest the pink version of that last one. It would pick the green out in those cute earrings. I used to be a similar shape and size and this is a flattering cut.

Something crisp and white and middi with puff sleeves.
Something crisp, mid grey and middi with puff sleeves and maybe stripes.
Something crisp, deep teal and middi with puff sleeves.

Bright flats, yellow or gold.

OP, just so you're aware, the quality of Popsy dresses is atrocious - they bobble at the slightest touch, and they're nearly all made from extremely poor quality polyester

minnowonthesay · 22/08/2026 09:55

This is a gold F&F sequin dress in a size 22 on Vinted, I think it would look great for a 50th party with those earrings

This is a great idea and definitely fits the ā€œfunā€ idea. You could match the earring colours in the skirt and wear with a black scoop or boat neck fitted top to really make the earrings stand out.
