Need dress ideas for bachelorette party

[buckeyegirl]

Hello fashion gurus!

I am going to a coworker/friend's bachelorette party in early June. It will be a fancy bar in Columbus, so it needs to be dressy and hot.

Here's the deal -- I'm 41, the rest of the gang is from 27 to 21. I don't want to look like a 22 year old, but I want something fashionable and fun.

Any ideas? Websites? Designers to look for?

FWIW, I'm small busted and large hipped (yeah, I can add to the boobage with padded bras, but need something hip-minimizing, or at least not accentuating) And no empire waists - no matter how flat my stomach is, I look pregnant!

Thanks,
Heidi

Are you big-boned or small-boned? For example, when you put your middle finger and thumb around your wrist in a circle, do the fingers touch, overlap a bit, or not touch?

Thanks for the replies. I love some of those dress picks, Claudia. Especially the last one - really cute. I bookmarked that one for sure.

Nancy - my fingers totally overlap but I'm one of those who is smaller boned up top with smaller chest and waist and then the booty/hips flare out from there

Thanks for the help!
Heidi

I really like the last dress Claudia picked out!!

I like this one. Everyone will think that any width at the bottom is because of the ruffles, not your bottom.

Was that on the Arden B website, too? It's really cute!

Yup, same site.
