Party a week Saturday. The plan is 4 musketeers with me being Mrs Dogtanian (yeah, so that would be muskehounds but ykwim)... Needing a dress though!!!!

I'm fairly skint, so it can't cost too much, but at the same time I am the only mum of the group, I've lost a lot of weight, and I wanna look gooooood .

Anyone got any suggestions where to look/wanna help me hunt ebay/ lives within 1 1/2 hrs of Bournemouth and has one laying around...?

I'm a size 12 with 34Fs.

think it's a tricky period - you need Princess rather than Goth or Wench.

Am trying to remember what I wore to a Zorro party (similar lines) and as far as I recall you need a square neck (for the norks) and a good swishy skirt - this page is probably a bit expensive but has some good ideas, especially D'Artagnan's Daughter and Milady DeWinter ...

Actually this might do if you have dark hair...
