A group of us are organising a jubilee party (daytime to evening). We have agreed its a fancy dress or red/white/blue. I thought it would be easy to get something un-naff as I have a perfect idea in my head but I can't find anything!
I was thinking vintagey/retro tshirt with something jubilee-ish on it maybe the queens head, a corgi....."I love london" (but not touristy). I have seen a lovely cardigan in asda with little crowns on it and then maybe jeans? And then lots of pearls but somethig for my head?
I loved the cath Kidston jubilee tshirt but I cant afford it and I'm worried it won't stretch over my boobies
I am a size 16/18 on top and 18 on bottom half.
Oh and we will be outside in the evening so I need something warm.
Humour me and help me please?

Go really retro/vintage: a Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen" T-shirt and punk bondage trousers. Mohican and safety pins optional!

Navy shirt dress, bright red lippy, white court shoes, retro hair style?

I'd probably go for a deep coral & mid blue combination that I could wear again. E.g jeans/narrow chinos in blue
Top combining coral/white & maybe blue with a coral cardi over. I'd then go to town on shoes like something from irregular choice.

Asda are selling long strings of red, white and blue beads, if that helps.

Thanks All!!
I got my lovely cardigan from asda, I think the deep coral idea is lovely. I have recently lost lots of weight, and have forgotten I ca wear things other than jeans or black trousers so I am going to get some dark blue chinos. And I will have a look at the primark tshirts- I am going in a couple of weeks time. Thank you all lots for your help-btw our neighbour is a punk, whole sex pistol safety pins job, so I dont think I will go for it haha!
Thanks again!
