I've just been told I'm going to a West End show tomorrow. I don't have a clue what to wear. Traveling by train during the day, show in the evening. I'm completely stuck. I can get to the shops in the morning, but I need some advice. Please help!

Sounds quite similar to JanuaryShoes's dilemma - maybe some ideas for you here, although we'd need to know your shape, height, colouring etc to really help out.

Thanks I'll have a look, running about after ds so haven't looked through. I'm 5'7. Size 10/12 top heavy. Blondish.

Hopefully after a dress of some sort, I don't think I could pull off leather look leggings

OK, no idea what your taste is but how about this?

Or this?

Or this little cracker?

Do you want sleeves/no sleeves? What colours suit you? What shoes or boots are you planning on wearing?

And does it have to be a dress or do you have some smart skinny jeans you can wear with a blazer, a simple top and a statement necklace? I've just bought this and it's divine: www.riverisland.com/women/jewellery/necklaces/Pale-blue-gem-stone-statement-necklace-651243

I love the FC dress. I think I'm going to look for This tomorrow.

I like the ruching around the tummy and good reviews too! Hope you find it.

Do you NEED to buy something new? I'd wear boots/jeans/nicetop/blazer/scarf/fur gilet for warmth

The theatre is really no big dress up deal anymore - unless you want to get dressed up that is?

It's a few years since I was at a West End show but I dont recall it being particularly dressy. People were in the kind of clothes you'd wear out to a casual dinner.

EverSoFarAway · 21/01/2014 07:04

I'm being taken out for a special occasion, so I feel I should be slightly more dressy than jeans. Is the Next dress to much? I thought it was simple and smart. We're going out for dinner then to the show.
