Not sure if is black tie yet but I think it will be pretty smart ie not jeans and sparkly tops.

Am size 16 but hope to be 14 by then (am on WW, doing well so far...)

Very apple shaped, 36C norks, no hips or waist to speak of. Quite a porky tum but am addressing + Bridget Jones knickers will be used. Legs ok but wouldn't go short, arms ok but no really thin straps or strapless.

Am dark hair, pale, blue eyes.

twinsetandpearls · 07/06/2006 16:33

\link{http://www.principles.co.uk/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=54\Similar} to Cod's but I found the colouring slightly more forgiving when I tried it on.

Gingerbear · 07/06/2006 16:39

{link{http://www2.monsoon.co.uk/er04/catalog/htdocs/products/enlarge/751225.jpg\this is the one I eventually bought - sequinny turquoise cut outs in the skirt. V flattering to tum (and hips in my case!)
I also tried on the blue one TSAP linked to, but it was a bit mumsy on me.

twinsetandpearls · 07/06/2006 16:45

Very pretty I always worry about having a Judy moment if I wear strappless though , am 36DD so need support! You need nice shoulders and neck line as well.
