also M&S do big, pull it all in pants.

as for body glitter try superdrug they normally have a few.

splash out on tights- wollfords...

what shoes

off the shoulder sounds lovely btw- is it like the dress the lovely tess daly wore on strictly this weekend- if so you could add a belt?

hope you have a lovely night

ps would funds stretch to a blow dry?? manicure- if not the manicure I love so laque ultra shine by bourjois- also sold in superdrug. I have the rose lounge which is a lovely nude/ baby pink colour but comes in a range of lovely colours

Tights £115?! Wow! They are fabulous but way outside my budget.Thank you though Antpants and Rexy for pointing me in the right direction and been supportive.Even if they are outside my budget they give me ideas.They are really sexy and range in price I notice.I am all fired up now,thanks!Xmas Wink

Antpants now I have calmed down a bit I see you have given me lots of ideas.I am going to have a blow dry on saturday.I had a biopsy on thursday last week and I am waiting for results,and feel so down,especially after having a General Anaesthetic,so thank you for your support,I am sure you are rushed off your feet like everyone else!

lordy i would not spend that much on tights either. Wollford do a range of tights at around £10 a pair.....

so sorry to hear about the worry of a biopsy. i hope it turns out to be fine. you certainly deserve a night out feeling fabulous!!

M&s do control tights that will help and mean you aren't too trussed up in big pants plus tights. They also do a good range of uplifting bras to go under any style of dress. Ask for multiway or staples.

Main thing though is your hair and nails. Get them done and you'll feel fab.

hi ruddy,thank you - it`s m&s for me on saturday!

Take your dress with you to M&S. Try undies on with it on. Makes a huge difference. Have fun.

Peacocks do control tights and cheap high heeled shoes which are quite glam.
