I have a gig lined up for the beginning of next month - I need something to wear

[SheikYerbouti]

It's quit a big folk gig (normally do ones on a small scale and am there as background noise)

This time I am part of a band and all eyes will be on us

Anyway, I want something nice to wear. Not trousers because they make me look stumpy.

I am 5ft 1, built like a badlt tied sack of spuds, reddy, blondey browny hair. Have big bazookas. I am playing the cello, so it needs to be something that allows me to, ahme, open my legs.

Will see a lot of old faces there - I don;t want them to think I have gorn off.

my fave so far are the ones jackie linked. i think they would be perfect.

but fgs wear heels please

fkin hell, ythat has been phoitoshopped to witin an inch of its mushroomy life

NO HEELS WIHT WIDE TROUSERS
oh no no no

if you must wear a skirt go to monsoon and buy a long one - you dont want grampa bert in the front row having a coronary

I've had those M&S trousers - they're good. You need a long top/good control pants/very toned tummy to carry them off, imo (or certainly needed numbers 1 and 2 of those in my case).

yes heels

she is short

even just wee ones

those fatface dresses are rather nice .

I def can't do loose fit trews because I wobble in them (honest)

God, I am so clueless.

oh PMSL at the mushrooms ones ha ahhahhahaha

Plus, heels can make you feel more powerful and confident (or is that just me?)

Wore full skirted 50's style dress last time I did a Big Gig

But that was when I were 2 stone ligetr than now - putting that on would be like getting toothpaste back into the tube

uch sheik pleae try the velvet or the ghost ones

nope, me too jackie

Yes, have to wear heels, or I look even stumpier

am highly sceptical of this velevet trews thing ??? are you all sure? [not convinced]

but yes, black trews under a button through dress, itself over a nice cami or whatever... then with a cropped cardi thing to cover arms.

trews would not be scary over things coz the dress would cover them...

No, I'm not convinced of velvet trews either, sorry

I will try some though, because naily told me to

trust me, BOT

my mum bought me a pair years ago and i was horrified but i wore them to death to things like christenings etc
