Figure is 5'4", size 10 with boobs and a bum. Skin is quite brown but bad psoriasis discolouration, so red blotches.
Trying to find a dress for a wedding. But tights in Summer?!
Really don't want to wear trousers. Will a maxi look ridiculous?
Budget under £400, but could go over if really love it.
TIA.

Psoriasis is on legs, arms ok. Forgot to say that!

this?

or this in coral?

MrsLettuce · 27/05/2014 20:22

this is a beautiful colour

MrsLettuce · 27/05/2014 20:23

oh, mis-read. Thought you meant psoriasis on both arms and legs.

Not coral, it'll clash with your red patches (lovely dress though!). Grin

I have/have had bad eczema in the past so can joke about it but it's not really that funny.

Are you sure you can't wear trousers? I am 5ft 4 and look silly in a long dress - but I always wear nude nights anyway to weddings as I'm not keen on exposing my legs.

I'd wear nude micronets - you get a lot of coverage for no added warmth, and the micronet pattern can't be seen

THIS would be lovely with coral accessories.

Go to your GP and ask for a prescription for DITHRO.
It should clear up your psoriasis in about 6 weeks.

Hope you enjoy the wedding!

Hi, thanks for replies. Mixed race, nude tights aren't dark enough.
Treatment is good ATM, it is scarring from previous bouts, iykwim? Leaves skin red, so really obvious with unaffected skin.
Will probably have to go with trousers, already have VW ones, will get new top.
Trousers in height of summer is poop though!

Maybe a jumpsuit would be cooler than trews?

very (too?) simple
