I am very excited, I am going to a charity ball!
The host sys to where whatever so it doesn't have to be a ballgown, she says a lot of people are wearing nice cocktail dresses so just smart casual is fine.

Ok I need your help.

I am 5ft and size 12/14 but look bigger, I have gigantic boobs and a wobbly stomach. I NEED a brs so no strapless.

I can't afford a lot im afraid so im looking at highstreet shops.

I have very pale skin and mahogany/red long hair which will be up.
I'm ok with acssesorising but the dress I am struggling with.

I really like this www.very.co.uk/holly-willoughby-tie-waist-dress/742192231.prd?browseToken=%2fb%2f1661%2fo%2f8&prdToken=/p/prod6194672-sku9860387 but I need something from a petite range as I am really short!

I like brighter colours, I can't do high necked becuase of the bust situation. I love strapless prom dresses but I would be hoiking it up all night. Grin
Maxi dresses unfortunatley swamp me as I am also a midget.

Hire one. You'll get a better dress for less money.

Following on from a recommendation here on MN I have just ordered this bargain but I dithered between that and this. I will be going to a black tie dinner in April and I'm 5 foot tall with big boobs. Hopefully it will be delivered early next week and will fit...........

Why don't you try eBay? I have bought/sold high street ball dresses on there for less than £25 - bargain!
