these

I got these zip up leggings in the sale but Im at a loss as to what to wear with them for a slightly dressier than every day look- got a few lunches and days out in London over christmas.

Im only 5ft 1 so I need something that wont swamp me (most jumper dresses are too long for me to wear them with leggings as well) but I do need something to cover my pot belly. Im a size 12- just about. Im 27 but probbaly dress more 'safely' than most women my age as im not confident about my large tummy.

I would love your suggestions please.

I really don't think you can create any sort of 'dressier than every day' outfit based on those leggings. Sorry.

They look like industrial gym wear.

Tell us a bit more about what colours you like, what bits you want to hide/show off, budget and I'm sure we'll find you something gorgeous!

Oh and I have a big tummy too so am well used to dressing to minimise it

Oh no! Seee this is what I get for trying to be fashionable.

Ok- must must must hide tummy. I have good legs and slim arms dont mind showing them off but not sure how practical that is for days out- footwear wise will be wearing either flats or boots for comfort.

Really dont mind on colours- I have a lot of red, blue and green in my wardrobe but Im not big on strong patterns. Bit of beading or something would be nice? I blinking hate those awful 'floral' rose print type body con dresses that are everywhere at the moment.

Budget is less than £30 please unless I am going to wear it for the next 6 months constantly or somrthing [justifies spending more].

Oh gawd I hate those dresses too! They're everywhere! I remember having a similar patterned bodysuit in about 1987 .

So here are some finds.

I would wear this as a dress with black tights and boots. And a fab black belt to cinch you in

This is cute and would definitely flatter the belly area

I would replace the belt on this one with a wider one but I love the colours

Love this

Similar. Pretty colours.

Any of those up your street so to speak?
