Help! I need to find an outfit for a christening I am going to next month. I am size 14 on top and 16 on the bottom. Any ideas, thanks!

Give us a bit more info....

Which bits of your body do you like (or not like) ?

What sort of colours do you like ?

What do you fancy - dress ? trousers ? skirt etc

budget ?

Ummm...ok.. I have a defined waist (sort of hourglass figure) Not keen on upper arms or hips and thighs. fairly big norks. (D/DD cup)

I like spring colours (pinks, greens) to go with my strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes.

I think a top and skirt would work well, due to different sizing top and bottom. Equally happy with a dress if it fits well.

Budget - fairly low, no more than £100

thanks for your help TillyScoutsmum
yes, I like that skirt and cardigan.

Not so keen on the dress material, but like that style.

Can you suggest any shoes to go with the skirt/cardigan outfit, preferable a lowish heel. I have very narrow feet, so it is nightmare for me to find pretty shoes.

ok- will have a look. Are you ok with wedges ?

yes wedges are fine, thanks. Will need something to strap them onto my feet, as I find they just slip off otherwise and I really don't want blisters!

Pink shoes

They're great, I've never had pink shoes before, sadly a tad over budget though.

I like the flowery shoes, but I am a size 7 and they are out of stock

TillyScoutsmum · 14/04/2008 15:51

sorry - not too good with the shoes - I have the opposite problem and have fat feet so always avoid straps and low heels. Will keep looking though
