sorry the whistles one is in the sale, third row down, it is called the "lydia sweat dress"

Or you could go sort of peg leg trousers, silky blouse?

I don't have much at all tbh. If I can people's opinions then try local charity shops or something like marks or tkmaxx!
It's for a charity do, so going to be tapping people fir money too!!

What have you currently got in your wardrobe that you love to wear and could make more of with some cheap new accessories - think primark or new look.

I think if you are mixing with slebs, then it is important to feel that you look good, and not be hitching at a new shirt or something.

I'd've thought ermine, silk and great-grandma's tiara quite fitting.

Rubber and stilettos, I would have thought.

[lisad123]

Your so mean, I'm so not a dress up kinda girl, live in jeans normally, def not any rubber in my wardrobe

[gapants]

the dress you linked too is sort of silky? could look a bit evening wear? Have you go a simple cotton jersey wrap dress, that would fit the bill I think,
