Fat lasses ball gown

Sadly I am an organiser of a ball this autumn and I need to look the part. Whilst I realise its going to be very difficult to make a fat ageing frizzy haired person look halfway respectable I really do need a frock. Does anyone have any ideas where I can get a good cheap frock.

Lipstickgal I shall pop over to the Boden site and take a gander, love the idea of being able to wear something again.

Alpinepony so where are you now or the your user name a clue? Lol at you not convinving anybody with the virgin stuff. Wehn i got married BF shouted from the back she doesnt look 20 weeks pregnant does she? MY goodness you should have seen those heads turn. As it goes I was 20 weeks preg ;-)

alizee love those dresses but those ladies look incredibly well endowed, I on the other hand am not so I certainly couldnt fill a frock and look as good as that.

hello again. :) I'm now living in The Netherlands but was in Brussels for a while - "ambassador's reception" central!

I think both thos igigi dresses alizee showed are gorgeous - both gathered at the waist and then flowing and ankle length to hide all number of sins - plus covering up upper arms but a flash of shoulder - very few have flabby collar bones/shoulders! The blue is gorgeous too. Bit of a shimmer, shoulders back, big hair (chignon), big earrings, mid-heels - you don't want to wear stillettos and find yourself compromised in the run to the buffet! Wink

As for tits, chicken fillets & a dangerously obscene bra? Ulla Dessous are fabulous - the fit and "oomph" (girders) are tremendous.
