So, what does one wear to a ball please?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

?!?!

Help! :)

[confusedmuch]

you want one of these lovelies, I like the red halston heritage lots!

[confusedmuch]

a good dressmaker will take a dress up for around £20, make sure you take the shoes you want to wear though so they can get the length right

another shortie here

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Ouch my eyes It looks as if it is made of bacon and maple syrup.

[confusedmuch]

yah that's an odd colour for that many sequins

[confusedmuch]

this however is perfection but completely overbudget

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I'd need to be three feet taller and flat chested for that!

I love the Haylee dress, it's stunning in RL especially on large norkage.

Also this which doesn't look anywhere near as good on the website as it does in real life.

[confusedmuch]

then exaggerate the curves and go for something like the halston heritage with heels, an invitation to a ball is an opportunity to red carpet

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Don't like the red HH one - would like a little round tomato in it. :)

[EugenesAxe]

This is utterly divine; it slightly took my breath away when I saw it in the shop. I couldn't wear it for so many reasons, but for someone short with good legs it would be beautiful.

Hobbs Rococo Dress.

Hobbs this season have a lot of nice things. Twice your budget isn't that bad... honest.

Or this from Jigsaw Flapper Dress.

Or my final offering that does actually meet your criteria... Jigsaw Lace dress

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

The flapper one is beyond beautiful - and would look beyond awful on me. Can't do pale colours - I look like I've just crawled out of the crypt.

[EugenesAxe]

Hmmm. I thought not drawing attention to norks meant covering up chest, not having massive ones that wouldn't work with high necks. So two of mine might be straight out...

[EugenesAxe]

Flapper also available in grey...

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Is it also available in cheap? :)

[soaccidentprone]

this would be a good shape for you

or this one

or go for something plain and wear some lovely jewelry

[EugenesAxe]

Karen Millen - not sure about the bow myself but not bad

And this is nice; lace breaks up the chest zone

Final fairly simple Phase Eight dress

[EugenesAxe]

Haha! Not yet, damn them. To be fair even I probably wouldn't fork out that much, and I've always been a bit crap for spending too much on clothes.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Your first two are pretty, Accident, but would be far too self conscious of norkage in them. Don't like Bravissimmo.

Don't like the KM ones or the P8 one, sorry.

[soaccidentprone]

For those large of norkage you should really go for something plain on top, with a v neck, otherwise you will just see a 'sea' of chest and fabric. You need to break the outline visually by a v or sweetheart neckline, and (obviously) it needs to be something that a bra can be worn underneath.

Also not too short. The dress needs to be below the knee to balance the proportions of the figure

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

This would probably suit me - but it looks pretty cheap for nearly £200!

[soaccidentprone]

The last phase 8 dress is lovely, but I don't think it's the right shape for rlbg.

Does a 1950s shape suit you?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Might get away with 50s if not too 'big' on the bottom or tight or high on top. Eg this would probably be perfect on me.

[soaccidentprone]

maybe this?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Nope, I'd look v frumpy in that. Sorry.
