It's my friends birthday she has told me if i don't go out she is going to be very upset, i hardly ever go out as my confidence is low.

I need an idea on what to wear would like to wear a dress & boots but not sure what?

I am size 14 quite tall at 5 foot 8, don't like my arms so must have some sort of sleeves & am on a budget so not expensive please help.

Don't like high heels as feel i am tall enough.

Ok,

Would like a dress, just above knee length but no shorter, i have big boobs don't like them falling out but a little on show is fine.

coulours i like, teal, black, silver, grey.

No white, creams.

I have some black 100 denier thick tights?

We are going into town to pubs, not to dressy but stylish, not to fitted but nice shape IYKWIM?

Does that help?

I am size 6 in shoes/boots.

LaCerbiatta · 15/11/2007 10:57

I tried this on yesterday and loved it! It's very flattering and can be dressed up or down.

LaCerbiatta · 15/11/2007 10:58

The purple one is gorgeous!

CodDickinson · 15/11/2007 10:59

bakc at lunctime

ScoobyDoo · 15/11/2007 10:59

Nice cod & loveing the tights & boots combo but not sure if that dress/top is to short, will have a look in rl though tomorrow.

Added to my list.

My friend is wearing this with brown tights & shoes, i ordered it for her today.

tuga thats nice what sort of length is it? not sure it will go with thick tights boots/shoes?

OP posts:
susiemj · 15/11/2007 11:03

I think this is fab. It's short but it looks easy to wear and if you wore your black tights you'd actually be quite covered up while looking sexy.

Sorry link is not working properly - can't work out why. You can use the url.

susiemj · 15/11/2007 11:03

O! It's working now.

LaCerbiatta · 15/11/2007 11:28

It was knee length for me and I'm 5 foot 7 but leggy. I think it looks very nice with boots, but then again I don't really do the over dressed up look and I think it would be a bit less dressy than your friends. But a lot classier in my modest opinion! You could find a nice necklace to go with it. It's also very low cut so if you have a good cleavage it would be uber sexy!

LaCerbiatta · 15/11/2007 11:29

I LOVE that dress susie!!!! I'm going to try it on today!

susiemj · 15/11/2007 12:16

Glad you like it. I want it myself but I'm nearly 8 months pregnant and something tells me the effect wouldn't be good!

LaCerbiatta · 15/11/2007 12:31

lol! You can always buy it to wear in a few months!

ScoobyDoo · 15/11/2007 12:46

Sorry had to dash off.

susie that is a lovely dress may be a tincy pricy but i think i need to see it in the flesh, would also need something to go with it as hate tops of arms.
