I am a bit of a magpie and end up with way too many patterned dresses and want to go a bit more classic. I can't wear black, so generally go for navy/dark teal or charcoal grey instead.
What's current in dresses? I'm a busty size 14, 5ft 3 so anything labelled maxi is out and midi is usually maxi. I can do knee length with opaques.
This is more for office wear not a special occasion so not TOO pricey and not too much fabric to overwhelm me.
My body is quite long so I'm probably going to buy from regular size not petite, though if the waist isn't too specific in where it goes I can wear petite.
