StrawberryWinders · 18/04/2009 21:47

marchesa or temperley. The first one you posted will make you look pregnant. The other ones are not 'really' black tie (not as striking, elegant, etc). Sorry....

howtotellmum · 18/04/2009 21:56

Lookslike a cheap nightie, gone wrong. Awful- sorry .
Show off your figure and go for structured.

dress 6 but still prefer the marchesa or temperley. Are you looking for something a bit more 'out there'?

strawberry I do seem to prefer something high fashion, rather than follow the crowd. For instance, I would never dream of wearing anything from monsoon, debenhams or coast to this ball (because everyone seems to be wearing the same thing!) so I guess that's why all saints appealed. And I love those bubble hems (they look great with tanned legs and killer heels)
