I'm short 5ft1 fat size 20/22 , very large of nork, dont like to show my back or arms, Oh and almost 50, so dont want to look like Mutton.

what shape are you?
eg apple, pear, brick etc

TheConfusedOne · 25/09/2008 17:18

No dress to 'frilly' tend to like more classic things, and colour did I say that!

Not sure of your budget but I have bought a few things from [http://www.chesca1424.co.uk/ here]. They are online obv but also have depts in House of Fraser and John Lewis I think. That's where I first came across them.

Aargh - my links are not working on a new keyboard. Google Chesca.

TheConfusedOne · 25/09/2008 17:21

CountessDracula · 25/09/2008 17:24

apples don't have bums
sorry!

TheConfusedOne · 25/09/2008 17:26

Nice Buda, but their evening clothes feel a bit for older women, don't want to look like mutton, but not like a granny either (even if I am)

Budget up to about £200.00.

CD that is where I got my shape thing from, closest to what I look at in the mirror was a apple.
