Help, please oh fashionistas.
Off to a super A list restaurant for dinner on November 4th. I have a rather lovely mulberry coloured sleeveless velvet and sequin edged top from boden from a couple of years ago that has hardly been worn. Thought it would look nice with an A line knee length black skirt and knee high black boots.
Can't find a skirt. I'm a 14 (heading towards a 12) if the sizing helps.
Anyone spotted owt that would work? I'd prefer a less full A line if poss.
Thanks.
I'm 16 weeks post natal so if I can't find this then I'll be wearing my joggers to dinner.....

if you can bear to Boden again, their Short Moleskin skirt might do

(have been working madly and gallivanting round Asia, though not at the same time)

maybe not then - hard to gauge from pic. Will keep trying.

Hmm - no velvet ones, how about this one ?

JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump · 19/10/2006 18:37

One with a net underskirt - too much?

JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump · 19/10/2006 18:39

Great price, but maybe a bit casual , nice shape though (poss too wide).

JackieNoHeadJustABloodyStump · 19/10/2006 18:44

Also possibly a bit long, and not eveningy enough ?
