If you are bored.. fancy helping me?

I need to find a dress to wear to the races for Ladies Day.

I like doing this for other people on here, so I thought if anyone was bored and fancied helping me?

Criteria:

Dark (black preferably, but not too fussy)
Short
Low Cut
Sexy
Funky

I know, sounds a bit for ladies day, but thats my style and if I wore a pretty floral number, it would look ridiculous.

Anyone?

Oh, I am a size 10 and a D cup, if that makes a difference.

probably not going for the bin liner look, however

okay, I know you said no flowers, but I think this could be "funked up" a bit. I'm thinking purple tights though.

DirtySexyMummy · 08/04/2008 19:12

Flier - thats lovely.. definitely a shortlist one! Its not totally my style, but I actually like it! Good find!

Tilly - I really like that, if it wasn't that colour though..

Thanks. It has its benefits!

It also has its drawbacks.. I get a lot of looks as DS is 3.. and I can't buy alcohol without having ID with me. In fact, I was asked for ID for a pair of scissors a few weeks ago and I didn't have any.. annoying.

I'm not even that small! 5'6". And I have big boobs.. I just have really young looking skin. Its odd, but I like it!

and this

Am going to stop now cos am also v. looking at all these dresses I couldn't fit my right thigh into ...

DirtySexyMummy · 08/04/2008 19:22

Ah, yeah thats nice. Still, a little 'sack'-ish, it'll just hang.. can't imagine it being overly flattering, other than on the old norks.

I do like it though, so maybe?

Lovely..

DSM,

Are you going in the Royal Enclosure? I think that's the only place you would have big problems with the dress code. General Admission asks for "a manner appropriate to a smart occasion" (a bit vague for my liking) and in the Silver Ring you appear to be able to get away with absolutely anything. I assume that they erect large screens between there and the Royal Enclosure just in case HRH gets an eyeful of her subjects revealing lots of flesh.

Ascot handily supplies images of 'forbidden' styles!:

That was some bizarre viewing! They have some rules there!

Thankfully, I am not going to Ascot, I am going to Ladies day in Edinburgh!

Is this the kind of thing you were after?

Would you consider wearing something other than black?

Sorry, DSM, I didn't realise it was in Edinburgh.

DirtySexyMummy · 08/04/2008 21:11

I really like that third one Patsy - another one for the shortlist. Thanks!
