Help me find a dress to celebrate my birthday!

[navyeyelasH]

Hiya, I'm trying to find a dress for around £50 but if it is stunning can spend up to £100.

I'm 25 so going out with girls to a club to celebrate. I have loads of dresses already, but want to get something new! Dresses I have tend to be square neck (sleeveless) / book tube and just above the knee. I always wear killer heels

I'm 5ft2, with chunky thighs but don't mind getting below the knee out, have bigish boobs (34EE), quite a flat tum, sort of curvy I suppose. I wear a size 12/14 normally depending on where I shop.

I've look in oasis and warehouse my 2 safe shops and nothing is doing.

HELP!!!!! pls xx

A belt would certainly cinch in all areas (waist and back) but I think a belt may take awayhe from the fabulousness of the dress.

Saying that, if it looks gorgeous from the front etc... then people will not be checking out the back. I personally would want it to be perfect I mean, this is a ted baker dress not Primark.

Here are a few other alternatives:

To be honest, french connection has loads of possibliities in the sale - just select dresses...

Weirdly I'm looking on FC now, also Ted Baker has discounts so might have to go in there tomorrow.

Might even venture into Harvey Nicks, or is it just silly money in there? I've never really shopped properly in there, just dream shopped.

Considering it's a £100 dress I do want ti to be perfect, it's a lovely fit, I think it's just the pleats on the bum. What about an underskirt?

The dress in this []www.polyvore.com/50_stripes/set?.mid=embed&id=4133882][img]www.polyvore.com/cgi/img- set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFlVvOTVRTkNiM1JHdnpVYmpNc1duLWcAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg link]] is my fav all time dress on me to give you some idea.

what about this

Am I right to be worried about boobage? How can I strap them down dam it!

Ok quick update (although seem to be talking to myself]

Went to french connection, they are all horrible on! ARGHH! Birthday is tomorrow. Why did I leave it so late, why got why

Fingers crossed for debenhams tomorrow!

Oh navy that is such a bugger about French Connection. What other shops are there you could try?

Coast (too weddingy?)
Do you have a house of fraser? (always lots of good stuff in there)
Was there nothing else on ASOS that took your fancy?

Well went out last night and had a blast and if I say so myself thought I looked pretty hot. 7 different people said I looked like Duffy which was very , it was the hair though I think!

On Sat morning I darted to debenhams and saw a nice dress on the Jane Norman concession store. Never ever shop in there as it's for slinky people and I almost didn't bother trying it on. But anyway I took the JN dress and 5 others to dressing room and ended up getting the JN one it's here. Had to wear scaffolding underwear but think it looked really nice on; did my hair in a half up half down beehive and put a wave in the ends. Then did my makeup all smoky like! Loved it.

Annoyingly, I paid full price for it yesterday!!!!

Thanks all for your help on this thread esp JAG if this were real life, I'd offer you a large glass of red wine!
