Red dress for someone who doesn't wear dresses, or red!

I'm performing the 'cunt' monologue in the vagina monologues next month and the costume is a red dress. I loathe dresses and never wear them (or skirts for that matter!) and I don't really wear red either. I'm 'tomboy femme' in style generally and adore clothes, but I'm really stumped.

Any suggestions?

I'm 5'3, size 12 and a straight up and down type, not curvy.

Don't wear a dress if you loathe them.

Will look.

What about this with leggings or even skinnies underneath?

tethers I am going to try to talk the director around, but I don't think it is going to work.

gremlin it's a good style, but more than I want to spend for something I'm only going to wear once and I would boil in it on stage!

I just bought this to wear to a hen party. It's truly miraculous, made of a thick yet stretchy material that is very flattering and the front ruffle camouflages any bumps. It will give you amazing curves and it's not too short or too low. Maybe a bit va va voom for you, but it will look knockout on stage!

something like this?

EirikurNoromaour · 25/01/2014 20:14

Look I can put it right here!

Bargain

this, this or this

I like the bow back mango one, or erm...I think I do. I would never wear anything like this and the theatre is sold out of 350 tickets! This is really hard!

red enough?
something like this, maybe with a nice big brooch, would be just fine.

lucyintheskywithdinos · 25/01/2014 20:41

Jumpsuit is excellent, but out of stock! I might get away with it though.

yy, the mango one is very nice.

MrsLettuce · 25/01/2014 20:45

another jumpsuit

lucyintheskywithdinos · 25/01/2014 20:49

Thank you people! I'm ordering a selection, the bow back one from Mango, the New Look one and that Topshop jumpsuit and will return two!

The topshop jumpsuit would be ideal.

MrsLettuce · 25/01/2014 20:53

Quite agree.

tethersend · 25/01/2014 20:55

one last red jumpsuit
