I'd go for a cocktail dress. What sort of colours/styles suit you best?

MadameChinLegs · 07/05/2012 13:29

Oh, and what is your budget?

winterberry · 07/05/2012 17:14

Budget £100-£200 could stretch a bit more for the right dress. Deep tones suit me best...I think!

My favourite is Anusha. They have such great pieces and they're not hideously expensive. They're great for jewellery and accessories too, although if you want some AMAZING jewellery to go with your outfit, check out Alexandra May. Her stuff is INCREDIBLE!!! Good luck. x

Violet Girl, I totally agree with you with the fact that Alexdra May's staff are incredible!!!

Need all your views on this:

Can I wear this dress with black tights??
