This is going to look rubbish, isn't it?

Going out with DH on work meal tomorrow night. Had a mild panic about what to wear and ordered this in black 5 minutes before the next day delivery cut off. Now having a wobble.

I'm wobbling because I NEVER wear stuff like this - I am usually a full skirt retro kind of girl - but just really fancied something a bit more wiggly. Is it appropriate? Also worried because I am tall but my body is very very long - will that waistband be too high?

Also wobbling because I had a look at it on the actual New Look site and I would NEVER have ordered it - it looks awful! See?

I have ordered the 10. I am a 10 with boobs but definitely not an 8/10. If it's all baggy like the New Look picture I will cry.

Shall I just cancel the order?

The Oh, glad the new dress worked for you. You must have a good shape, to be able to pull that one off!

Hope your evening ..probably finishing now!... Turned out fun.

I really dunno why there is a "the" at the start of that post.

It was lovely, thankyou! DH suitably impressed!

Ran out of time for the hairdresser though, tried to do waves but it just ended up looking boho not glam, so just washed it again and straightened it. I think it was OK.

Thankyou all so much! Felt great and very glad I've been going to the gym for the last few weeks so I had enough ab muscles to hold my stomach in all night Grin

Looks awful. No way. It looks gorgeous and elegant. You're probably just panicked because it's not something you'd normally wear but who could possibly go wrong with a black dress. I'd accseorize it with red or silver, and use red or silver nail varnish.
Enjoy your meal

I laughed out loud at the M&S dress. What the actual fuck?! Grin

I'm sure you look lovely, OP. That dress was fab on the Asos model (although Next was clearly having an off day Hmm)

Lol at European. Is that good?

I was worried they'd be impeccably groomed and I'd have to hide my fingernails! But it was fine!
