Is it a Halloween party?

Tell us about your age, size, colouring etc.

I love fancy dress! I was a spider's web last week.

go for an older sexy woman.

So morticia adams if hallowe'en
or Miss Moneypenny type if not. pencil skirt, huge heels, discreet intriguing blouse

i have a morticia addams style dress, older sexy is good, you will outshine them with your confident mrs robinson type aura

I say this for every fancy dress thread ever, but it is the best costume ever - Mia Wallace, Pulp Fiction here. Glamorous and easy. You could attach a syringe to your chest for added authenticity.

I'm thinking number 2. Why slur? Who would inflict this torture?

oh fucking hell slur you could out fox anyone. 18yr olds do not have the depth, style and panache that you do.

I feel sorry for them.

BBBeeast speaks the truth. You could always wear a low cut top.

Darling, 18 year olds are the Eloi and we are the intelligent, less attractive Morlocks who can, nevertheless, feast upon them.

Sorry, I've been drinking, but you know what I mean

right am back.

Corny and Bbbeee you are babes!

Some good thoughts lou, pointy, hassled -keeping it stylish might be way to go....

Is sister's 18th birthday party, I HAVE NO CLUE why fancy dress, indeed there is no theme.

My sister is going as (in her words) "Alice in wonderland, with a slutty edge"

Details:
Am 29, size 8, fake blonde annoying-really-needs cutting shoulder length hair atm. Am not an ogre, but that is not usually in comparison to hot, top girl sixth formers.

i dont have boobs like that, even with the miracle of a padded bra, and it still looks ok

Lou oddly I actually have something similar already ....

I am wondering if I shouldn't play down figure etc though, I don't want to even try to compete with nubile types on that particular playing field... I need funny or stylishly cool I think.

Or a sack.

A sack might be a good plan b.

ah but 18 yr old girls will be most likely to wear belt length skirts and teeny tiny tops, so that would look quite classy really, esp if you dont pump your boobs up, it only leaves a bit of leg on display

ooh mmm yes I could see that, yes maybe.... will ponder ta Lou

What about princess Leia? Every grown man's fantasy. Or Sarah Jane. All the 18 year olds will go as St Trinians.
