What do I wear for date in my own home?

I met a guy about a year ago and went on a few dates with him, for various reasons haven't seen him since but have kept in touch. He's now back and coming over on weds to see me....

What the hell do I wear? I've put on so much weight since he last saw me so am wearing a corset underneath what ever I wear on top.

I have very little money, maybe £50, and my clothes are all horrid and toddlerfied at the moment. Jeans and a top? Do I wear shoes??!

I'm a size 14/16 with humongous horrible boobs (36g at last measure in) any ideas? I can't remember the last time I even bought myself something to wear. I want to look gorgeous, but like I'm all nonchalant with it, like I fess like it all the time. Help please!

Do you have a decent pair of slim fitting jeans?

If so, how about this shirt. I have it and it's a flattering fit for larger boobs. I wear it with a white strappy vest top underneath.

I would then spend the rest of my money on a pedicure and go barefoot.

Nothing wrong with making an effort but just be careful that if the relationship continues you could spend a fortune on 'it's nothing special it's what I just threw on' type clothes!

Ooh, how exciting! Are you going to cook?

What about a silk shirt, rolled up sleeves and half tucked in or even left flowy and loose.

Uniqlo has them on offer at the mo: www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/128356

Ooh a shirt, I hadn't considered that but it will skim all the right places won't it! Ill try some on and see how I get on. I don't normally wear jewellery, is there anything you would recommend or just keep it plain?

I'm not cooking as he won't be over till after ds has gone bed. I will do nibbles etc tho - and provide copious wine Grin

I have shellac done already thank god, but stupidly did footner a few days ago and so my feet are rank. Am hoping they are gorgeous by weds. Was thinking subtle fake tan, fake individual lashes (the natural ones) and then lots of subtle lighting and alcohol?!

Holy crap I'm nervous!!

Sounds good to me!

I'd be tempted to keep it very simple and jewellery free, just make sure you have a few buttons undone...oh and a soft seductive perfume that you have to be close to smell or maybe just a gorgeous smelling body lotion all over.

Don't forget to tidy your ladygarden, just in case Wink

Jeans with nice chiffon loose blouse.

Sounds like a good plan for the evening!

If you've done Footner a lot of people recommend soaking your feet each evening to speed things up.

There is lots of good costume jewellery around. I would wear one 'statement' piece either a chunky bracelet or pendant. I'll have a look and see if I can find some ideas.

Wear something that comes off easily. You clearly fancy each other other.

I think a shirt, nice jeans and either some stylish ballerina flats or barefoot would be perfect. A lovely necklace just hitting around your collarbone could be sexy. But yes, definitely wear perfume, and some make up and make your hair nice. Good
Luck!
