I've got three weddings in one week in August so I'm going to splash out a bit. I'm on the curvy side (ie size 16 ) with large boobs and big hips but a good waist. What do you think of this?

my computer is just showing blamk screen

Yes, a bit 'Emperor's new clothes' isn't it!

HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 21:19

hmmmm, try this 16 rows down, far left, navy blue dress....

Nope it's still invisible - think you're being ripped off!

PeaGreene · 03/05/2008 21:21

Sorry still a bit invisible and I'm eager to be opinionated

HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 21:22

damn damn damn, I'll try something else, hold on (three glasses of champers courtesy of the fil and my computer skills are shot to hell!!)

there's all the dresses what's yours called?

HonorMatopoeia · 03/05/2008 21:27

majorly jealous, that is gorgeous. What shoes are you wearing? You must have a gorgeous clutch to go with it too

HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 21:28

oh, thank you ledodgy. You've saved my blushes! It's called the Edan wrap dress, in navy....

oh don't get me started on shoes honor... got horrendous huge size 9 feet, I'll worry about that later.... so you think it's nice?

HonorMatopoeia · 03/05/2008 21:30

It's beautiful and perfect for a wedding 9or three!)

Shitemum · 03/05/2008 21:30

I like it except for the pockets on chest.
You'd need to dress it up with exciting hairstyle some great jewellery and heels etc as it's quite subdued, but smart.

HonorMatopoeia · 03/05/2008 21:32

Ooo yes, you could have one of those lovely hair slide hat thingies described that well didn't i?!

HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 21:32

yeah, i did think about the pockets, might make it a bit too casual. jewellery wise I was thinking a fab gold cuff of some sort.... not much else.... very red lipstick p'raps

OP posts:
HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 21:35

on the shoe front, I was thinking really slutty red patent leather peep toe platforms (think vaguely 1940s) red patent clutch and some chunky gold jewellery... now if only I can find those shoes in a size 9.....

OP posts:
HonorMatopoeia · 03/05/2008 21:36

Metallic coloured heels, clutch and cuff (no necklace - too fussy, or very slight one if you have too) hair / hat thingie and you'll dress it up. I think the pockets would stand out more if you had the other colour, but in the navy they don't stand out too much anyway.

Still

HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 21:41

sorry honor.... I don't have the money at all but after 8 months of being at home with ds and living in jeans I'm in definite need of a style injection! I like the idea of metallic... esp with a bit of a tan, navy/gold and suntan could be a good look.

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 03/05/2008 23:23

gorgeous dress although I could not do the pockets on the front as i have big boobs.

twinsetandpearls · 03/05/2008 23:29

size 9 red patent

twinsetandpearls · 03/05/2008 23:30

size 9 red patent peep toe

HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 23:31

oh twinset, those peeptoes are great!!!! thanks for that

OP posts:
HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 23:32

at the price, but I'm in a fuck it kind of mood

OP posts:
twinsetandpearls · 03/05/2008 23:35

I think the 180 is euroes they are 140GBP. Still not cheap though

HeadFairy · 03/05/2008 23:38

Yeah, I did notice that, it was a slight when I saw it was euros, but still expensive. I'd better make sure I wear them alot!
