To a film premiere, don't want to be overdressed...

Am size 12, still got baby belly Angry, 5'6, and chin length blonde, babylissed, hair... Good legs, big boobs...

Maybe spend £150-200? Have got a selection of shoes including some black shiny snakeskin-y ones fro stewart weizsman at russell and bromley and some
nw3 shoes and i also have some lovely black dressy stilletoes

Am desperate for help. Have the normal range of shops available...

Have a look at Anglomania, very cool, flattering and can be dressed up or down.

moragbellingham · 26/02/2011 10:47

I know this dress is well under budget but I think it looks fab in RL. With high black sandals, belt and good fake tanned lags etc.
I would normally go for a bright colour like red or yellow but haven't found any yet!!

Bristol cities that might be too brave for me! I basically cannot pretend to be a celeb so would rather dress kind of completely opposite to those nymphettes!

I am loving the anglomania stuff just wondered do you think the striped draped dresses on page two of your link verity would look ok over my tum?

Lipsy is for 19 year old tarts IMO. Zara dress odd

bristolcities · 26/02/2011 11:34

Alright YouGOGlennCoco calm down, lets not make it personal yeah, ta.

I love that its what I would wear Grin(if I could afford it) Are you going to go down the rock chic/ biker look route?

Flakes · 26/02/2011 13:04

I LOVE that dress- keep bringing it up and drooling Envy On a more positive note I've just had rush of blood to head and ordered an Anglomania dress on The Outnet reduced to £83. Just hope I can dress it down... I think there's still a few left but only in 14 if anyone's interested.

Flakes · 26/02/2011 13:37

YouGo, it's bloody well gone now. Off to check e-mails to see if I'm getting it or not Confused

YouGoGlennCoco · 26/02/2011 13:39

Ph noes. Was it the aqua one? I saw that one.

Flakes · 26/02/2011 13:44

No was pink. Aqua would've been good too. Confirmation in but won't assume much til I see it in my hands. Cristiane, I'm v boring and would prob go with clutch, navy tights and platform courts or shoeboot thingies. Course I don't own any of said accessories...

Clure · 26/02/2011 16:42

anniemac loved your suggestions

funky little number crisitane, really like it. I would agree with navy option of shoe.
Something a bit edgy maybe this
these

Clure I'd have a kind of poor man's Naomi Campbell Westwood moment in those office shoes!

I just put "navy suede shoe" into shopstyle and there were def some possibilities. Love shopstyle but it kind of upsets me too. Want all suggestions from Farfetch and Matches.
