Would one wear a high suede ankle shoe boot thing to a black tie do? Or a more trad heel?

[Cybbo]

with this dress, black tights

and mebbe boots like this

mine OBVIOULSY arent this make but look like this

Love the dress and those boots - and yes I definitely would.

Thankyou

I think I might be channelling those birds in the Addicted to Love video again

Can I take my electric guitar to the ball too?

Yes - that would look lovely.

You need to have a tonne of eyeshadow, some red lipstick and your hair in a croydon.

I loved the Robert Palmer girls when I was a kid, I thought them the epitome of sophistication, them and Virgin air hostesses

That dress is great - £35 from Dorothy Ps. Have you got it already cyb, does it look as nice in real life?

I HAVE dresed up like that before, for my SIL's 80's fancy dress party

I'm not really going the whole hog tomorrow. Smokey eye I think

I'm doing an experiment at the moment with one glued on false thumbnail to see if it lasts

My real ones are stubs atm

I like that.

i may copy you for my xmas do

I can't do false nails. I walk round all night with my fingers distended like some witch.

Do you wear false eyelashes out of interest? I never had until dd put some on me a couple of weeks ago for fun, they made my eyes look HUGE. But god knows how you put them on (and dd didn't make a good job of it tbh, glue everywhere).

It is really really nice - is it flattering to those with ahem tummy issues.

getorf you can get the individual ones put on for about £10-£20. they look loads better than the normal glue on ones.

Yes I have worn but I'm not going to tomorrow. LOVE them. Putting them on is easy when you've got the knack.

I can tell you the knack later if you like

The dress...its okay, Fits well but has slightly blouson-y bit, sort of empire line level which wouldn't suit someone big of chest. Luckily (or unluckily) I dont have that issue

But great party frock

Thumb nail update- still on

Mrs Cb I think its flattering becasue its sparkly and the empire line bit sort of detracts. its cut quite high at neck with a V to the back

I am going to have a look tomorrow - that kind of dress would suit me, as am long waisted and flat chested. It looks a lot more expensive than £35.

Yes you've summed me up. Long waisted and flattish chested but with too much junk in the trunk

Wore it all last night. Was great

Some people's definition of 'black tie' might need some tweaking though, judging by some of the sights I saw

Tell all then cyb you know we like a good shallow bitch about other people

ooh lets just say there were LOTS of large booswams threatening to escape from the shallow cups of the dresses they were trembling in- NOT a good look

Also the corset quotient was quite high- I've yet to see ANYONE who looks good in a corset

the pissed gal who pulled up her dress and straddled her boyfriend was quite the talk of the neighbouring tables

And I won some fur cuffs! (not handcuffs)

Sounds like a top night

I love that dress! I think I'll order it, anyone got a DP discount code?

Aging over-exposed bosoms are one of my phobias - seriously - cover them up ladies - Gok is wrong!

Sounds like you got it right though although fur cuffs sounds slightly dubious . . .

Aaargh Mrs CB I'm worried now, my aging bosom is all I have got going for me

I doubt that very much Patty!

And its my problem not yours
