My 30th birthday party is fancy dress-make me look beautiful!

[waitingtobeamummy]

I came up with the stupid idea of fancy dress of "musicals" for my 30th birthday party.
I'm now regretting it!
What do I go as? I'm size 16/18, 5ft7 brown hair- I normally don't mind looking silly but just for once I want to look pretty(but not ott king and I ish)
I have a 1950's style dress (on one of my other style and beauty threads) that if desperate I could do west side story??
But want something else, the only other thing I could think of was the mom/daughter from mamma mia?
Help me please!

Liesl from The Sound of Music?
Potiphar's wife from Joseph?
Calamity Jane?
One of the Moulin Rouge women?
Evita?
Tallulah from Bugsy Malone?
Sexy nurse from South Pacific?

Something from West Side Story? Chicago? Cats?! (maybe not...) What was the one on roller skates again?! Sorry, probably not being particularly helpful. I have had

Dorothy

Starlight express = rollerskates

Have a friend who is a size 14-16 I guess who wore someting like this once to a burlesque themed night once

looked amazing

ebay moulin rouge

my friend is about your size and she wore this to a fancy dress night out, and she looked fantastic and it was very flattering on her, it was a size large and it wasn't nearly as short as the one on the model, it came just above her knees. She wore the shiny black leggings underneath with some very high platform heels.

Thanks all! I'm thinking I might be brave enough to to for moulin rouge (i might have to have alcohol tho!) amelia you are as helpful as my husband :-) my horrid s in law wore a Dorothy outfit for a hen party two weeks ago-I know she will wear that else I would have been v tempted!
