Which enclosure have you tags for, and on which day?
handy info here

WelshBoris · 20/05/2007 19:17

MrsBadger will know.

Tutter · 20/05/2007 19:17

wear a dress you'll feel comfortable in (do you have anything or do you need suggestions? - principles would be good), and hire a fabulous hat

unless you'll wear it several time,s in which case buy a fabulous hat

WelshBoris · 20/05/2007 19:17

what's your figure like - curvy/straight? tall/petite?

something like this would great with a mad hat (if you aren't too busty and if you have good legs)

oh yes,
nice frock (Monsoon, Principles, Phase 8)
wedges
spectacular hat that suits your face shape (good info here - in fact the site is run by an MNer so mention MN and you may get a discount )

kittylette · 20/05/2007 19:36

I'd keep it simple,

a dress like this with a hat like this

and wedges - the black ones obviously - not green

if you are feeling adventerous i love this dress

dunno if thats what your looking for, im usually way off the mark with 'posh' clobber, lol

CODalmighty · 20/05/2007 19:37
