what the fark do I wear to a 'Hawaiian' dinner dance?

[kitkat9]

FFS

Dh told me he was taking me to a 'ball'

turns out it's a 'Hawaiian' dress code

I can't stand things like this but we have to go!

What can I wear? No way am I turning up in a Hawaiian shirt and bermuda shorts...

Any suggestions so I don't look like a complete arse?

I would go for a flowing kaftan/maxi dress with leis - those flower garlands to wear around your neck

grass skirt, bikini top and flowers round your neck???

maybe I could get dd (2) to make me a lei!

btw, am 5'3, sz 14, fair skinned blonde hair. Bit plump. Big norks.

lol @ fuzzywuzzy! NO WAY!

Look up Hawaiian fancy dress on internet and get stuff from there. Wear with a sarong type thing and vest top if don't wish to go the whole bikini top route I hate stuff like this as well but my eldest wnet to a Hawaiian themed party so am a bit of an experts atm.

Would your norks permit this?

Would look gorge with flowers in your hair, flower lei and some flip-flops.

Am quite jealous, actually!

FGS, never go to a Hawiian-themed party in February dressed in a pink bikini, garland and grass skirt, because you will find that the most the other guests do is wear a flower hairclip or a bright shirt. Then you will look like a stripper.

yes yes do as I suggest, look

Ah, I see that fuzzywuzzy has warned you off already...

Why not a halter neck dress in a summer colour green /yellow with a jungle like flower in your hair or waist. Sandals and a garland of flowers. If you have long hair curly it. Bright green and jungle colours of yellow and red maybe!

Very similar to my outfit, except my string bikini was skimpier and you could see my nipples through it when I had to stand outside for a fag...

frock

Could have this altered to fit you

These would look nice

A fake 'tache, a gun and a twinkly smile?

Is a "Hawaiian" similar to a "Brazillian" but more flowery?

BOF, not to worry, you are talking the girl who went as princess Leia to the last christmas party.....I feel your pain, however I feel not enough people feel our pain, sooooo kitkat, do post a thread afterwards telling us how it all went....

Ouch

missblythe, that dress is lovely but too expensive..

tinker, it's not a 'fancy dress' party, so I'll have to look reasonably sensible.

There is no way in hell you would catch me out in a bikini top and grass skirt at the best of times...but especially just now as I have 2 stone of baby weight to lose and am particularly pale and flabby at the mo..

I'm thinking short floral dress like this

(am in America so American clothes websites welcome)

fuzzy, am pmsl at your links...especially loving the wig

bof - am suitably warnd by your experience, and am sorry you went through that, but still, !

Sorry Kitkat I think that dress looks a little dull. But I should be going now to pick up my Ds so can't hunt for you>

OK OK,

How about this?

these any good

I am being sensible now, guess BOF and I will be alone with our memories of questionable party attire.....
