I can't make up my mind, veering towards ugly...

Depends. If you are going to a 50s style dance, it's perfect. But it's very theatrical. Might not get more than one wear.

Good, my fashion radar is not too off.

Idly browsing for something for a school reunion. I want to look amazing, but that I haven't tried too hard. Sexy but not obvious/flesh exposing. Successful but young and carefree. Stylish but edgy.

Oh, and thin.

Not too much to ask is it Grin

NotMarlene, lovely dress, lovely colour but my boobs would look huge in that. Great site though.

Ah, right, school reunion. I thought we were in wedding territory!

I'd say black trousers, black top, fabulous shoes, amazing bag, fresh from the hairdresser hair and a subtle manicure. Oh, and a damned good bra.

I really like the dress, but it doesn't fit the "not trying too hard" brief for me.

You are right notMarlene. Shoes / bag / hair / nails / bra and spanx are key.

I'm going against the grain and saying its absolutely beautiful. I might even treat myself!

Too late, but I love Get Cutie. I have one of their short cap sleeve dresses and its the once piece of clothing that people always admire/want to know where it came from.

I got the same bargain - LOVE it! Glam and not trying too hard - hope you have a fab reunion!
