I have my first bigish night out on Friday since I had DD 5 months ago, but I am still fat and disgusting Sad. To make things worse my only and mortal enemy will be there so want to look as hot as I can.

I have a couple of options to wear they are both vaguely vintage style dresses that mask the worst bits and show off the BF norks (godsend!). But I need shoes. I don't usually wear heels but need them in this instance. Am I best to go for wedges? I don't really like mid heels just the walloping great big ones but unfortunately I walk like I wasn't born female in them.

Can anyone suggest some good ones? I think nude or tan would look best. I can't link to the dresses as they are old. I am up for other suggestions as to what to wear as well though!

I am 29, a wobbly size 14 for dresses, 5ft 7. My legs are awful so was thinking of wearing leggings/footless tights and I also have a huge CS overhang-don't I sound delightful?! Please help!

How are you all making secret threads? Do I have to be gibger for this one too?

I have no idea about the shoes sorry. I only own one pair of going out shoes. Try Next though, they sometimes have nice shoes.

A new secret thread- Party time!

OP Do NOT wear leggings or footless tights, especially with a vintage dress. If you are worried about your legs, wear nude fishnets.

Some nice tan wedges here

evening all

just thought i'd crash before going to watch 'Essex' to bed

have fun

Are there other secret threads? I assume they are more interesting than mine? no leggings or footless tights.... I am out of my comfort zone there. I will try nude fishnets at home. I do like those wedges, will I be able to walk in them?

i like those shoes, wouldn't the 'nude' clash with the colour slightly?

DialsMavis · 24/04/2011 22:09

I have no idea... I will be a gibbering wreck without my fat pins shrouded in black!

Just saw that it is a night out- wear black opaques.

It's only April after all Grin

DialsMavis · 24/04/2011 22:41

can I wear black opaques with peep toes?

Ah- there's another thread Wink

I say yes, many say no.

Whereabouts are you going out? I think it's acceptability varies by region.

DialsMavis · 24/04/2011 22:51

Bournemouth for cocktails and then probably a scummy drum n bass night or a wanky lounge bar type place.

If you're doing vintage, then black tights and peeptoes work well.

Besides, there's no-one here to argue with me Grin

DialsMavis · 24/04/2011 23:06

OK thanks, I will go into town with my student loan burning a hole in my changing bag. Once I fall and break my ankle on the shoes I won't be able to do much for the next couple of months anyway so can afford a splurge this week [busmile]
