Bacofoil is a good look I've heard

MarsLady · 12/01/2007 18:15

PMSL! Now that would be a waste!!!

But so worth it for the looks on faces.

Try Topshop maybe? Or New Look for something even cheaper.

Miaou · 12/01/2007 18:17

Oooooh Go ahhhhn - I bet you could carry it off!!!

Wear a LBD and cunningly wrap it in bacofoil. Add a length of tinsel to your hair for extra pzazz. After making your fabulous entrance (late of course, dahling), you can just whip off the bacofoil without frightening anyone

Topshop?

MarsLady · 12/01/2007 18:23

I might do myself an injury whipping anything off lol!

MrsBadger.... I have enormous norks! Beautifully shaped... but enormous lol. That poor top wouldn't know where to put itself!

Drape yourself then - go to a sewing shop by an acre of silver material, cut a hole in the middle for your head and you have a fabulous silver poncho .

Before now, I have stapled things to clothes for last minute fancy dress

Have you got a nice (but past it's best) black dress you could staple or even safety pin ruffles of tinsel too? Much cheaper than having to buy something silver especially...

MarsLady · 12/01/2007 18:38

Silver attached to a black dress................ now why didn't I think of that! That's do-able!

Yes... but I rarely think about these things ahead of time! Sob.............

Now give me some decent advice! Where can I shop? Cheaply!

It's okay! Panic over! You can close your wardrobes, cupboards and drawers!

I have found a dress... and what a dress! Long, slinky and it makes my norks look gorgeously norklike! It's a full length silver sheath!

Thank you for your help. And now to watch CSI!

Found as in friend up the road had a designer silver sheath in that funny stretchy material. Hung well and whilst she is not.... shall we say... as curvaceous as me lol..... it was able to fit us both (separately lol) and look completely different.

If they had played a Supremes song I would have been the embodiment of the song!

Another friend had lovely silver kitten heeled shoes.

The salsa was fantastic! Cuban salsa! Sadly there was only the salsa teacher worth dancing with and he was a good teacher so was spreading himself around sigh............

Great party though!
