Help! Need to look good on Saturday night.....

[welshmum]

I've got to go to a Hollywood themed Winter Ball on Saturday night. I'm pg - at the 'thickening middle' stage rather than bump and most of the people there won't know and I don't really want to use the night to tell them. I just need a few suggestions for some instant glamour as I'm feeling like a lump at the moment.

deffo a cropped fur white jacket - new look do them - or what about a big feather boa to hide your middle?

I should probably wrap it round my middle!

Yes, something that detracts from your waist - plunging neckline perhaps - seriously, though or a lovely scarf (scarf sounds awful, but you know what I mean - there are some gorgeous materials about)

I'm thinking Louise Brooks/Gloria Swanson/Theda Bara here in terms of a drop-waisted dress with spangles/bugle beads...use headgear (silky turban or headband, maybe)and a fancy hemline and/or stockings and shoes to draw attention away from your middle. How does that sound, Welshmum?
I am getting quite a good "instant presentability" effect from a good dollop of Clarins Flash Beauty Balm at the mo, just a shame they don't sell it in buckets to slather over my entire person.
What a lovely theme for a party, I hope you have a brilliant time...

MariaNativityplay THAT is inspired - I've even got a dress that will form the basics and 20's style shoes. All I need is a boa and some red lippy - am having hear done so don't know if I will stick something on my head.
Thanks for the Beauty flash balm reminder too - will dig mine out and hope it still works! (because of the age of the product not the state of my face, although thinking about it.........

hair done - hearing is ok so far

If they can see her stockings, Marina, that will certainly detract from her burgeoning bump!
