Nearly five foot 8.. with a much smaller hubby sadly.. who I will be with! (But it never seems to matter to the various wives of Tom Cruise!)

Hmm those beige trousers are not disimilar to a pair I already have but haven't worn for ages. Think I will wait til the dress comes and see if they go with them; may give them a new lease of life!

Sorry, only just managed to get back to this one! Lissie's link is to what I had in mind. I dressed up a shirt dress thingy for a wedding with linen trousers in the style of the black ones but the colour of the beige ones, IYSWIM.

A party, eh?

Oh, and don't worry about Tom Cruise factor. I can always dig a little pit for you to stand it.

The dress came.. but I'm a bit disappointed with it - I had thought it was in a sort of shiny fabric and it's just a cotton tshirt material. It does look ok with some brown trousers I've got; fits ok and is quite flattering as long as I suck my stomach in (!) (at all times!! As you do ) but now now sure it's dressy enough for the party a la Ellbell... (even tho she's assuring me it's not going to be a dressy occasion...!!)

Did you people who kindly offered your thoughts KNOW it would be a t-shirt type material when you advised me to get it? If so, then perhaps it will be alright..

Have belatedly noticed that is doesn't actually state the material on the auction..

I think it sounds fine, I thought it looked shiny too, and that was my one reservation! So good news in my opinion!!

I think if you have your hair all nice and nice party shoes, jewellery and makeup you'll be grand.
