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.

i like the black dresses actch.
and most of those skirts.

theres loads to choose from there, shaky

spiffing

Now I won;lt look like the frumpiest folker on the block (fuck me, that would be a really hard thing to do, actuially - I have seen some heinous crimes against fashion at folk festivals)

if you wear a black dress get some fabulou shoes

am a big fan of fabulous shoes

dman this threadv - am now having hard time closing links without making purchses...

quick hijack - how is ds1 BoT? i have just bought rather a lot from fatface website...

hi hoxty - hes gret thanks lot of fuss about nothing really... whatever it was they were worried he might have had, he clearly didnt. v glad about that !

and mmm, ive not bought from fatface before but am sorely tempted...

their sizes come up big if that helps . glad he's ok.

it does! no , it doesnt!, im trying not to spend spuriously !

Went to my friend's thgis morning - she let me raiod her wrdrobe for inspiration. She had a pair of the velvet trousers. I tried them. They are not good on me.

I do something to clothes. I can transform the most exquisite garment into a flour sack.

Anyway - I am going to have to go into Bath and look round I think

Right

Have bought this

You'll probably think it's mingoid - but ity's the right length and has right volume of material so doen;t make me look a heifer - it also covers knees (which are not good)

So I now need some shoes and a top - HELP!

Lovely skirt.
Can't really helpwoth top, as i laways go fo rblack.
Wrapover style, or v neck.

[no sartorial idea]

I think black top is probably going to be what I go for - bit waht?

Sleeves arew a must

Also, need nice shoes

c'mon, I have DP's money to spend!

[yawn]

.

Basic wrap style with nice necklace?

Similar, but with fluted sleeves,
Also nice, if you can do ruffles?

I like this a lot, but would sleeves be in the way?

Thise are all fab

BUT

I have to have long sleeves, I cannot have the audience seeing my arms wobbling uncontrollably

My arems are not good.

Oooh, that principles top is nice

AH - long sleeves. I thought it was just any sleeves. There's this, though I'm not sure about it, especially with the skirt you've bought.

I think the buttons would gape open at the front, as have ample bosom.,
