Calvin Klein Round Sleeveless Dress
I don't need to dress up very much and being a 50-year-old mom who looks like a 50-year-old mom, I was not looking forward to trying to find a flattering dress for an afternoon wedding. Most of the dresses I found locally were frumpy "mother of the bride" types made of cheap fabric and shapeless with jackets and basically is as flattering as a cotton bathrobe.
I found this at our local department store -- it came in black and royal blue and red. I chose black. It was a great look for me. Even though I'm heavy and don't have much of a waist left, this flattered what is left of my figure. The neck line is a little higher than I would have liked but is perfect for a variety of necklaces or accessories. However, if you have a blazer, you could even turn this into a great work dress so the style is very versatile.
Because it is sleeveless -- unless you have arms like Michelle Obama, then you will probably want to find a bolero, shrug, or shawl to give your arms a little "privacy"... that will also further accent the shape of the waist and flair.
One of the things I like about this is that it is fully lined and therefore, it has structure that also helps conceal every bump.
It is an incredible find -- particularly for the money. Size was pretty true however it is impossible to get the zipper all the way up or down without another human so make sure you have an extra pair of hands when you slip into this.
If you have trouble finding something that doesn't make you look like "mother of the bride", then this is a perfect choice -- particularly for the money (for the record, the cost here on Amazon is much less than I spent locally).
