I am going to a dinner with my DH at the start of December.I have a dress I was going to wear but my DH has just forwarded an e mail about the event and it says the dress code is 'cocktail attire'. This is so not my vibe. The dress I was going to wear is long sleeved with a floaty boho vibe. I need help to find something suitable!

I am age 59, 5'6", apple shaped size 16/18 with silver blonde hair. Can you please work your magic for me? Budget is not an issue but I will probably never wear it again so don't want to spend too much. Thanks!

Your dress is perfect and you look great.

That will all be fine, especially with red nails & lipstick!
Your hair is gorgeous!
Have a great night!

Thanks you, you are all too kind. I look very morose in that picture. I was trying to concentrate on taking a picture!
