Posh frock challenge!

30 replies

YeahBut · 18/05/2007 18:11

Need a posh frock for a do in 3 weeks time. Am an hourglass size 14. I am blessed with large norks (which I don't mind flaunting in a tasteful way!), but have the hips to match. In CMB terms I am clear - very dark hair, green eyes, very pale skin. I'd feel more comfortable in something longer. Any suggestions welcome!

Would need to be online - I'm in the Netherlands where Dutch women do NOT dress up for anything. Have a pretty reasonable budget - up to 200.

ggglimpopo · 18/05/2007 18:37

Dutch women wear pastels. And jeans. And clogs.

We need to find you something online.

YeahBut · 18/05/2007 19:04

Actually quite like the blue. And no, Dutch women are not stylish. Lots of neon orange. Horrible shoes.
