Partner is performing there there next weekend.
Need something to wear!
I've seen the dress code of the place described as 'dress to impress with flair- Armani and diamonds' Confused
I'm plus size, 25, and don't have much money. Just don't want to look to out of place. Any ideas what the hell I can wear?!

What sort of body shape are you? Something like this?, this, or this?. Accessory wise - do you know anyone who would be able to lend you a necklace or handbag for the trip? Or could you get a couple of these to layer up over a little black dress with some knockout shoes?

I'm very pear shaped. Thanks. That Bridget Bardot one is lovely. Not sure how I'd wear a bra with it though! Can't do strapless.
The link for the last thing didn't work. Thanks for some great ideas.

Can you get images of the place beforehand from their website to get an idea of how people dress?

Black or cream, quite plain, with accessories, maybe? The great thing is, if you're around people who pay a fortune for plain things, they won't have a clue if yours cost a fiver as they'll never go in the shops us mere mortals frequent Wink!

How about black palazzo pants, fitted cream blazer, vest top underneath (one of those that fits quite well at the start, then floats out)? And Primark jewellery as they'll never have seen that . . .

(How do I add images? Have found the sort of thing I mean but not sure how to put pic in here . . .)

Ignore last message, have seen that you just add the image!

This sort of thing?

Which club, if you don't mind saying? But generally speaking, French are not very adventurous in their sartorial choices, so wear what you feel comfortable in. I'm asking about the club as people don't necessarily get dressed up even for the trendiest celebrity or fashion people hangouts. I mean, no track suit bottoms, obv

It's the Silencio. They don't have pics of people in there really on the website just the decor.
I like the idea of palazzo pants but I'm not sure if they'd look odd wear I have such a drastically bigger lower half.?

Oh, no worries then. Simple and understated is fine if that's your thing ( and don't want to feel out if place). Black dress/ blazer/ heels or skinny jeans and nice top plus heels... Think Parisian vibe.
