Charity dinner at The Dorchester... What do I wear ?

[NomDePlume]

It is black tie for the guys, which is easy, but I don't know what to go for. I'm 23 so I don't want to look like a frump, but I'm also not hyperfashionable or skinny....

I'm 5'7", size 12, all in all reasonable figure apart from slightly wobbly tum...

Need shoes and a frock (ideally), although a really glam trouser suit might work well too. Links please !

I like this but possibly a bit dull ?

Can you do strapless (course you can, you're 23!)??? They are supposed to be very "in" and look great if you have nice shoulders/arms/decolletage......

np, that's the same link !

although i think you have to be brave to wear red

I like the dress NDP but it could be a tad "ordinary" for such a glam event....perhaps if you dressed it up a bit with heels/accessories?

I have reasonably toned shoulders, arms and cleavage. So long as I wear some scaffolding underneath then strapless is fine.

wouldnt be dull ndp if you had great accessories

some shoes in sale

I brought a beautiful black evening dress from a designer called Charas but can't seem to find a website for it. Was about £100 iirc

what would you advise to glam that dress up a bit ?

its another chocolate dress but maybe too hippy and there is a great red one in the debenhams website

a beautiful but simple necklace, can you wear your hair up?

Very simple diamond stud earings and a simple 1 diamond necklace. If no diamonds, then River Island do great replica's which is where i usually get mine from.

And killer heels.

I like red but it had to be the right shade. I find it hard to find the right shoes to go with red though.

np, yes, I could and prob would put my hair up

or i would wear really glam earrings, very long ones (i dont really wear necklaces, im short and i feel being naked around the neck gives me height)

black shoes with red???????????

My links do work, as strange as they have come out!

not too simple, ndp

Again, that dress has bit hanging off the hem, Nbg. Possibly not quite sophisticated enough for the event ?

is there a photo of you in member profiles???

Like these

i could sit here all day ndp and find accessories for you but i have to go to playgroup

very jealous of your dinner! when is it

You could get the incredibly glamourous and cheap dress that I bought in George yesterday. Full lenght, deep petrol blue, strappy, crushed fabric with lovely grecian style ties around it. It's Fab!
