I'm 27,&nbsp;5'11'' (borderline 6 foot!) and my boyfriend is the same height, as are most of his friends. I usually wear flats with skinny jeans and tops on a night out, or flat sandles and a dress (rarely getting overly dressed up!). I love simple styles (black, white and turquoise are my go-to colours)! </p> <p>I'm fairly pear shaped, (small chest which i'm happy with and don't like to make look any bigger), and big hips. I love dresses that are fitted around the chest, tight at the upper waist and float down (forgiving on the hips!). The material is fairly important to me too, I hate anything that doesn't float down. I don't know the names of the fabrics but I find with my big hips that if the material doesn't "float" down it adds serious pounds to my mid-section!&nbsp;</p> <p>I absolutely hate flats with any above-the-knee dress at formal occasions but I don't want to be towering over everyone else so I need advice on something to wear?? I have a gorgeous jersey style strappy&nbsp;maxi dress that is actually long enough on me to wear flats&nbsp;(nothing worse than it swinging around the ankles!!) but I've worn it to death so I can't really wear it to the wedding. Would love something elegant and simple, wearable with flat sandles, so probably full length.&nbsp;</p> <p>Any advice?? I don't do sparkles or debs-style dresses!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks!&nbsp;<br />Ruth </p>
