[quote=Anonymous]I have an important event coming up. Artsy. Not black tie. I need to bring it. 
There will be photos. Lots of young beautiful people. At least one ex. 
I'm 50+, size 12-ish, broad-shouldered, generally proportional but like many women my age who have had multiple kids, my belly is soft, my waist a mere memory. 
I want to look my age but the most fabulous, confident version of my age. 
I would love to wear something with a bit of pop. Like...maybe a gorgeously tailored satin suit (but do you need to be rail thin to wear one?). Or a vintage kaftan (but will I look like a lunatic grandma?). Or even some shimmery Studio-54-circa-1972 Lurex-knit black floor length thing (but will that show off every lump and bump?). 
I appreciate maxi dresses and stretch and the color black. Vintage is fab, but it's hard to find vintage dresses in my size. I've never found a wrap dress that looks good on me. I can do spanx if I need to, but I'm not spanxy by nature.
Seriously, though. I need to bring it. 
But what is the it? And where do I go to find it?
