I need something to wear to a 'do'. opinions please.

[CarolCervix]

black one

my requirements.......

i am a large scruff and most comfy in jeans & black t-shirt.

i need sleeves

the do is a work party.

with leggings?

The first one the second is a bit scruffy and teenage. I really like teh asos one

a bit hippy?

step away from joe browns!

problem is i like scruffy. think the first one is a bit smart for me. i'd be uncomfortable.

i want to wear jeans but can't.

if i were to go for trousers and top where do i start?

Tight black skinnies maybe velvet stretchy? (zara) And a pretty top and heels.

too fat for anything called skinnies.

and no heels. would fall off and hurt someone.

Depends on the sort of do it is. If its not formal and you're a bit of a hippy, go for the second Joe Browns one. Don't go trendy and dressy if its not 'you'.

Good lord woman, not even Mama Cass herself would be seen dead in either of those Joe Brown monstrosities.

Here's what you should do:

1. Buy the asos dress at once, it is beautiful
2. Buy some black opaques. Or red, if you fancy.
3. Buy a gold belt like this
4. Wear the wonderful outfit and have fun.

can a fat girl wear red tights???????

it's not 'formal' as such. i'm sure some of them will be wearing posh frocks and heels but I won't be.

and that belt is feckin horrible. sorry.

anything that needs to describe itself as 'flattering' invariably isn't. take tethers' advice, you will look great.

size 18/20 and 5.7. large. and scruffy. and hippy.

i actually don't know why i'm going. apart from a night off in a nice hotel room, alone.......

i think the ASOS one might be a bit snug.

I love the asos dress might get it! the belt is lovely!

Right, it's 1 all- you hate the belt and I hate Joe Browns.

Let's start from scratch... What's your budget?

Oh, and what shoes will you be wearing?

oh god, i'll need shoes too. for square feet with no heel.

budget as small as possible.

could i wear jeans?

Any good?

The floral one is nice HotBurrito!

No one will shoot you if you wear jeans.

How about a less dressy dress? Something a bit less structured?
