I need something to wear to my daughter's first communion in a fortnight. I am a size 18. Slightly smaller on top, but my worst bit is my tummy. Dresses are generally bad as when they fit in the tummy, they gape at the shoulders. Also, bf my 8 month old probably dictates separates.

Budget is about £100. I know you lovely ladies can sort me out with something

Hmm, yes possibly. Think wedding but maybe not quite as smart.

Does have drawstring neckline,so you could pull it aside but you might want a shwal to drape for disretion!

This is pretty

With

These in navy?

I know you said probably not a dress but there's this one from jojo, made for bf.

This is lovely too but another dress plus it's a bit pricey, but it doesn't look typically bf, which is nice.

I can't find any nice tops, I'll keep looking for you though

wubblybubbly · 24/04/2010 00:27

Oh this top is lovely and only £25! Would look lovely with wide leg trousers and jacket/wrap maybe?

wubblybubbly · 24/04/2010 00:30

Or maybe this one? More spring/summer colours, if you like the print.

wubblybubbly · 24/04/2010 00:42

Tut! Those links are rubbish! You'll need to scroll down for the tops I meant, but I suppose you get to see them all for yourself!
