Tis for a wedding

Its black, knee length, V crossover top, sparkly bits around neck.

Trying to make it look less black as its for Mum's wedding but DAMMIT it looks good!

rantinghousewife · 17/07/2007 20:14

What about this

rantinghousewife · 17/07/2007 20:15

Or this

rantinghousewife · 17/07/2007 20:16

With perhaps something like this

MamaGryffindor · 17/07/2007 20:17

yes to silver/pewter

Firswt ones not high enough - also have long thin finger-toes so need a strap across toes to minimise scary feet!

SEcond ones nice, but a jewel a bit big
