Well, it's taken me three shopping trips but I have finally bought a dress for my friend's wedding.

It is this one.

I need tummy control desperately. Can anyone recommend me decent pant/tights? I hate my legs so am considering wearing tights, but I have dark olive skin tone.
And what about shoes and a cardi/bolero - what colour?

Any advice much appreciated!

oooh that is lovely! not sure about accessories but im sure someone will come along soon! i have two pairs of tummy control- one from primark one from debenhams, both great. Also i went to the races with some friends at the weekend, we all put fake tan on our legs but one girl had tan stockings from m&s. Sounds weird but when she put them on just looked like she had immaculately tanned legs, very streamline and no imperfections! So would definitely recommend you try them.

Thank you! Will look at m & s ones. I saw some 'illusion' control tights in there, not sure how they'd look?

I just don't want to end up looking like an ice skater.

I think you'd have to put the tights on over your shoes to look like a proper ice skater.

I always like blue and black together, but not tights. Personally I would wear black shoes, black handbag, and a black 3/4 length sleeves jacket. I would keep the jewellery minimal with drop earrings.

Good luck, and let us know what you decide.

Thanks fo the replies. I am now thinking a cream maybe white bolero and shoes. Have just tried it on again and I definitely need tummy sculpting technology!

Ooooohhh I really like that dress(got a wedding myself in 3 weeks and struggling to find anything). I think silver shoes and clutch would look good?.
