If you feel like that is a concern do you have some magic knickers? FWIW, I think a bit of a curve to the tum is feminine.

Do have some very effective corset things, but they are not much fun (obviously!) for a whole nights partying, so prefer not to wear them to often

LIR, you're thinking of Roland Mouret's Galaxy dress - you can get a pattern but apparently not a high street priced copy of this dress.

It might just be me but I think this is really pretty for an evening 'do'.

That is pretty, perhaps would like a bit of colour in a design like that though... also, I'm not sure sleeves are good for me- I think they made my arms look flabby when they're kind of cut in half- maybe just paranoid

probably not very cold february evening though?

I would, with a cheap, very bright pink, green or orange pashmina. Shivering burns calories.

This is the dress your thinking of re Carol Vorderman I think http://www.tellytoad.com/post/carol-vorderman-roland-mouret-galaxy.aspx

I've had a hunt around and the only thing similar I can find is by Victoria Beckham for big bucks:(

Still looking........

The dress you linked to on Asos might be tricky with the back/underwear issue.
Are you looking for a control underwear and fitted look or floaty forgiving one?
I hate control underwear, It never holds it in that well,I need to do some manual sucking in too, and the pants are so uncomfortable,maybe I haven't found the right pair?
My tummy is (between you and me) about 5 months pregnant still when I just let it hang and the pants can't handle it lol!

Yeah thinking about it, my 'want it' says fitted, my sensible head says floaty

You wouldn't.... would you?! Don't think I'd dare do even one bright colour this time of year... 2 together?!

Wow, Carol Vorderman looks amazing in that dress! Go Carol!

Or a cute little cardigan? I've got one like that in red which I wear with a black cardi.

How about a pencil dress from Vivien of Holloway?

A teeny bit over budget at £59 but they are so flattering around the tummy and bust area.

No - floaty will skim your mum tum and makes you look bigger than you are. Fitted will give you shape - honestly! here speaketh woman with mumtum!

If I were being cheeky I would insert a rolling head smilie or few, a la Hamish. Most importantly you have big personality, I wouldn't try to dress as if you haven't/
