Lulu - I think winter things are arriving now so get thee to the shops!

I am the same size as you although I have no waist but great boobs. I would probably look in Monsoon and Phase Eight first, to get an idea of what styles, colours etc are around and then go from there.

This dress? or is that too informal?

LuluMaman · 13/08/2009 09:48

Ooh - that blue one is gorgeous...

This one has rave reviews here

BunnyLebowski · 13/08/2009 10:06

What about

this? Gorgeous colours for that time of year too

this is nice too if a wee bit plain

Lovely

Am struggling to find posh frocks with elbow length sleeves! Will persevere!

BunnyLebowski · 13/08/2009 10:09

Great minds SilentBob eh?

SilentBob · 13/08/2009 10:14

LOL great indeed!

I'm also struggling with the sleeves- would a cardigan over a strapless dress suffice or no?

BunnyLebowski · 13/08/2009 10:16

A few more

A bit more full on glam (and full length) but beautful!

pretty!

sleeves not quite elbow length but lovely dress

very va va voom!

lovely but not sure if you want black

oooh, the emerald green from curvety.com is gorgeous. would need good SPanx ! the orange one from evans, surprisingly glam. monsoon dress lovely, but possibly not eveningy enough

thank you for all teh wonderful links !

could do a shrug over a strappy dress but think sleeved dress a bit more flattering?
