Be honest about this dress please...

www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=19551&storeId=12556&categoryId=67 931&parentcategoryrn=42344&productId=406941&langId=-1 - it is for a school reunion, we are going out to a nightclub but I want to wear something other than jeans + nice top. I am at the moment a size 16/18, but know topshop will be a small 16 so will lose weight, so will look abit different from my profile pic. I saw someone my size in strapless, and though it looked flattering but am not totally sure whether I'll look ok in it... please advise me style gurus!

MyTwo... it's a similar shape to a green tea dress I saw in topshop, except the tea dress was silky so would really show off my tyres! You don't think i'd look frumpy and old in that kinda dress?

OO, med. length would be ok I think, I am only 5'2", they usually skim the floor.

I think everyone looks better covered up and not flashing the flesh tbh

much classier

also it is farkin freezing, you would freeze

How old are you?

That blue silky top... evans (a shop I like because they are actuall for my size, not just a few sizes up if you get what I mean) had similar in green (obsessed with green!) but for a nightclub?

topshop do a personal shopper service iirc (or they do here) so why not go in and try stuff on

or go to a department store and say HELP

they will dig stuff out that you wouldn't normally buy

ooh, I dunno....I'm old, which may be why it looks good to me.

I am 21

You are all super for doing this for me, thankyou so so so much! I am very nervous about seeing old skinny winny school chums!

Crikey, you're a mere child!!

I need boderline classy but young, club suitable but yet covered up, but yet not frumpy - what a hard one!

yeah, would probably would have been ok if I was a 10/12 with a wrap...

I have just looked on Evans and hereby BAN you from setting foot in there ever again

you can do far better than that dump imo

and you are 21 not 81

LOL, am pretty sure it was there they had a green blouse like that blue one.

blimey at 21 you can wear what you bleeding well like girl! go for what you feel comfortable in.
i love the green dress by the way and would def wear it even i didnt have enormous breasts!!

O, just had a look - may have been debenhams

cods is nice,young and flattering

Only comes to a size 14 cod - plus wouldn't it really cling to my potato sacks?

If you have good legs/cleavage and really like green you could try this www.asos.com/ASOS/Satin-Fluted-Sleeve-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=181390&cid=2631&clr=Green or what about this over some opaque (control!) tights? www.asos.com/Lindsay-Lohan/Asos/Asos-Premium-Silk-Deco-Embroidered-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=19 0607&cid=2631&clr=Black

Now... if I didn't eat between now and Christmas...

I LOVE that green dress, but I am not sure about my legs, I haven't had them out in decades. I guess they are pretty chunky, shaped though... but big.

you will probably shoot me, but I liked this - images.drct2u.com/content/product_huge_image.html?img=rimages.drct2u.com/content/images/produ cts/tq/tq505/p2xtq505xhuge.jpg but it may be too casual... although I thought about dressing it up somehow. Metallic seems to be in.

I say black trousers, heels (and no faffing about with kitten either proper ones please) and a top

am off to bed due to being old and decrepit tired
