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.

This might work, despite square neck - it kind of has a v-neck too, iyswim.
This looks nice too.
Another wrap one.

I like the middle one from debenhams too

DSP will go mad, ebcause I will probably spend more on my outfit than I will earn from doing the gig

He need not iknow

Anyway, I am lucky, he never notices when I buy new clothes.

What about shoes???

shoes, I need shoes!

I NEED SOME FECKING SHOES, DAMN YOU!

Shoes are something I am BAD at.

No need to shout. Sorry - had to go to work. So am not really here. Can you do heels? Or does that make playing awkward? I'm thinking a bit of a heel, either in black, or maybe silver (or are you more of a gold person?).

These are lovely, though higher than I had in mind. Also very gorgeous in red (possibly even more gorgeous).
Classic, but not sure if a bit sloaney?

rted shoes are gorgeous! will def need heels as am a short ares, and they make no difference to playing

I am crap at shoes I always end up wearing black

Would red shoes look madly out of place with the rest of the outfit? What abgout tights????

Satin?
Flat, pewter?
bit of a heel but not too much?
More pewter flat ones, but look a bit like slippers in the pic.

I don't know - you could wear a red necklace/earrings to tie them in - they are fab, aren't they. Not sure about tights - bare legs probably best.

I do have a lovely red chunky beady neclace I could wear

sounds like a plan. Must get back to work now, sorry.

Thanks Jackie!

All I need now is a bag to cover my face and I',m away!
