Dress for my 40th Party

[Rexy]

I have asked everyone to come dressed smart.

I am Asian and look good in red and bright pinks.I am 5 foot 4ins tall with DD norks.Got small waist and good legs.

Party is in a function room and we will be drinking and dancing.

Would a maxi dress look ott ? I want to look wow, grown up and fun loving !
Mainly looking at Coast and budget around £100.

Any ideas please ???

Have a browse in French Connection and tell the sales staff that you want a dress, they will puul everything out of the new stock IF you enlist them. I've been wearing their dresses for 7 years and always get fantastic feedback from friends. They do fantastic Coral colours which look fab on my darker skin.

Something like this?

Nice - but over budget.

Will try FC too

I managed to come across a load of sale dresses on FCUK site that seemed a bit 'hidden' (to me anyway) via having a dress in my 'shopping bag' for aaaages, here:

www.frenchconnection.com/category/womens+Dresses/Dresses.htm

also have discovered that if you put 6 zero's in the student discount section they knock a bit off

That Vivienne Westwood dress would probably look fantastic on you with the figure you have described.

My_Wardrobe have it in stock and also have a 30% off code around, so you could get it for £157.50. Over budget, but it is a fantastic dress and a great investment.

Over budget but nice... too summery? too short? any good?

Looking good - any other ideas?

Is maxi ok or too ott though ?

If you want maxi, go maxi. I don't think it will look OTT at all.

What sort of maxidress did you have in mind?
Sleeveless? Empire line? Low cut?

Don't be afraid to criticise the ones I linked to; if you tell me what you don't like, it gives me a better idea of what you do IYSWIM

This for instance is nice, but would sleeves and a high neck be ok?

I agree joliejolie, it's the dress that sprang tomind when she described herself.
Go for it Rexy, it is a beautiful dress, and even better with a discount

It's your party, you can wear what you want to

Am loving the Coast Tigre maxidress that Tethersend linked to - would look fab on you I think.

Maxi dress I thought that would be nice are

same one as mentioned above

The one I really liked has vanished from the Debenhams website -it was red maxi sleeveless with embellishment around the bust and back.

Would prefer halter neck or sleeveless styles.

My friend bought a gorgeous dress from L.K. Bennett for her 40th and it looked fantastic. I think they can be over the £100 mark though, but maybe worth a look.

there are some lovely red dresses at phase eight scroll down a bit

not red but would look fab

Phase eight ok but not too maxi, the dress above is nice but really want red

red plus maxi seems to be a hard combination to find, which I find a bit odd! Asos have some that are pinky rather than red

Could you pull off gold? Friend tried this on the other day and it looked fab.

this comes in red
pink grecian
straight coral
gorgeous if you have good legs

Any good?

Or here?

Thanx Clure no shop near me and party is next Sat. I am in Cardiff.

Tethersend dress is lovely but bit too floaty DH would say it's a maternity dress!!

Best so far IMO

This is gorgeous.

Tether do like the satin one.

MmmCoffee that one is a bit shapeless IMO

More suggestion pls
