Help dress me!

Help dress me!

I'm a meaty size 14 (ha) meaning curvy and proportionate and full busted.

I need a ridiculously hot outfit for an upcoming event. Bordering on a little slutty/trashy in a rock star kinda way. I'm so not this person so I need help. Here is what I was thinking.

Fish nets
short skirt or shorts maybe with some sequins (I can carry the leg part off fine), some kind of sexy top that I will most likely need a push up bra or strapless for. Sky high shoes or boots.

I think it's ok for the top to be tunic length which I also think would be fine since it could create a slimming look. I'm a 38DD. Either way spanx will be involved! LOL!

Probably black or darker colors.

What do you think? Any suggestions and pictures are welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Help dress me!

You could also wear a short dress like this

ETA: It's not totally slutty but I think the look is really sexy especially if you pair it with a pair of stilettos

Re: Help dress me!

That dress is nice. I wonder how my much of my lower belly will really be shown with the top of it over.

...enter spanx. I'm really overthinking this.

Those type of dresses seem to be really trendy right now. Cache.com has a few different styles that you might like.

Well, if the dress' drop waist is low enough you'll be covered.

I would at least go try some on and see how it works. Bring the spanx with you and if you go this route, I'd scrap the fishnets and just go bare with a high sexy stiletto.

Re: Help dress me!

The blue one is gorg but a little fancier than I need.

The red one really calls to me. I have never bought anything from Cache. Doe they run smaller or true to size? I think I could get away with the large but don't want to get the xl and have it be too long or drapey.

I could call Cache and see if they have it in stock to try.

All of the nordstrom dresses are gorgeous.

I've purchased from there before and they run pretty true to size. I'm usually either a 4 or 6 and I got both but the 4 fit perfectly. Definitely call them and ask if they have it though, they were very, very helpful when I went to return the size 6 in person.
