WHAT THE FUCK do you wear to meet Britney Spears in Las Vegas?!

OK, I have just over 2 weeks to get this sorted. I'm in the UK.

This is me achieving my lifetime's ambition. And I get a commemorative photo of us together. So I'd like to look good! And I will post the pic when I get back to thank you for helping me!

Despite my best efforts to lose weight this year (2.5 stone down!) I am still 11.5 stone at 5 foot 2. Waist: 34 inches, hips: 40. I'm a B/C cup. 34 years old and blonde w green eyes and celtic-pale skin).

I have a tattoo on my lower back which I might show her...so I was thinking an evening dress cut very low at the back? And something which can fit in my carry-on suitcase (I'm not taking any luggage for the plane's hold). HOWEVER my legs are really not my best feature so it would need to be a long dress but petite length if you see what I mean.

I'm in the UK, for the avoidance of doubt.

And yes, I have booked a full-body wax, eyelash and eyebrow treatment and getting my highlights topped up before I go. And tooth whitening if I can remember to put it in at night!

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! Grin Star

Pretty little thing and Misguided have lots, defo go bling!

ChickenVindaloo2 · 23/09/2017 11:10

Ah, just seen Chardonnay's post! Are jumpsuits a no-no for short arses? I don't want to make a fashion faux pas even if Britney does from time to time

I am the same height as you, but I wouldn't wear a jumpsuit.

Britney petite too, maybe skinny jeans, killer heels, and a dressy top?

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 23/09/2017 11:11

It will drag you down and make you look shorter.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 23/09/2017 11:11

Perhaps I should stick to a long (but petite length) evening dress...I like the cowl back tho! And I would like a bit of cleavage!

Will defo do big hair! I have enough of it!

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 23/09/2017 11:12

Also, how are you going to show her your tattoo?

ChickenVindaloo2 · 23/09/2017 11:12

I'm not a fan of the skinny jean.

I could channel Britney circa 2002 and go for flared jeans!

OP posts:
ChickenVindaloo2 · 23/09/2017 11:13

I need to be wearing something which I can pull up or down at the back to show her the tatt. It's a tramp stamp. I'm not ashamed! Grin

Definitely not skinny jeans.
And unless there is a shed load of sparkle, not black.
Any plain colour will not clash.

Floisme · 23/09/2017 11:22

I'm not a fan of jumpsuits but I love widelegs - they bypass my thighs - and I'm barely 5'3. I think you just have to be careful to get the proportions right and not go comedy wide. I think they work best on me if the waist is high.

How about this jcrew petite one?

DontDrinkDontSmoke · 23/09/2017 11:34

The uniform in Vegas is killer heels, fabulous jeans and a glitzy top or LBD.

I hope meeting Britney lives up to your expectations. How exciting.

traviata · 23/09/2017 11:39

The Raelyn one with heels could look great on someone 5'2. The legs are nicely drapey.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 23/09/2017 11:44

All excellent points, thank you!

Will report back later!

lol your excitement is shining through the Internet!

Whatever you wear, make sure you try it on with really good underwear, and check to see it's not see through, straps sticking out etc. Once you blow it 9 feet wide, you don't be able to to hide any weird lingerie mishaps anywhere. Also check your makeup for camera flashback!

Sammysquiz · 23/09/2017 12:31

Awww, I feel excited for you! I wouldn't let the tattoo thing narrow your search - loads of fantastic dresses which aren't low-backed. You can always show her a pic!

sourpatchkid · 23/09/2017 12:44

What will other people be wearing? Won't you look really out of place in an evening dress at a concert?

ChickenVindaloo2 · 23/09/2017 12:49

I will be in a VIP seat so mibbes those folk will be more dressed up than those in the sort of mosh-pit area Grin

Maybe somewhere, Britney is asking her pals what she should wear!
she was in my dream last night

When we went to see Britney in vegas everyone wore a mixture of things, there were people in the seated area behind us (the vip section). Most people there and in the standing area where I was wore what you’d wear for a night out, dresses, jeans heels, nice top etc!

Don’t wear an evening dress you will look out of place.. I remember one guy behind us in vip was wearing A suit 😂😂
Just feel comfortable in yourself!

The show is ace, we went three years ago and it was amazing!

Bombardier25966 · 23/09/2017 13:00

Imagine someone showing you a tattoo of you. Think Alan Partridge. Enjoy it for yourself but keep it to yourself. She'll have seen thousands and smiled politely at them all.

Wear whatever you feel comfortable in, dress for yourself not some woman you're going to spend sixty seconds with. Try not to build it up so much that your experience doesn't end up being a disappointment.

Have an amazing time in Vegas. Amazing place, anything goes, clothing and otherwise!

SparkyBlue · 23/09/2017 13:01

I am a short arse and jumpsuits definitely suit me so I would go with that. Just get something that isn't drapey or too loose if that makes sense. If you get one that's fitted at the waist it can really give you a very neat silhouette. I would team up with killer heels and seeing as it's Britney I would get sparkly ones. Get a spray tan done before you go if you are showing off your back.

ChickenVindaloo2 · 23/09/2017 13:01
Grin Thank you guys for sharing your experiences, it's getting so close now!

sourpatchkid · 23/09/2017 13:02

What would you wear and feel good in for a normal night out and we can glam it up from there?

Honestly, I suspect if you turn up in full evening dress she will remember you but only as the crazy lady in an evening dress at a concert 😊Wine
