Q. I want to buy a basic black dress that I can dress up at night with pearls and cute bag/shoes. I would also like to be able to wear it to work with a jacket or cardigan. I am in my early 50's, size 14/16 and although I feel like I carry most of my weight in my hips/thighs I also have a fairly large bust area. Can you advise any items that I could purchase?
- Basic Black
A. I found several options that will work for your curvy figure and move fluidly from work to evening. They won't hug your hips and thighs and are flattering for a busty gal.
