Christmas party, 24/40 and can't be arsed to spend much money on something I won't wear again....

[DarrellRivers]

Help
Any suggestions
I have some nice sparkly ballet pumps, good legs, so was thinking some sparkly long huge top with tights/boots or perhaps ballet shoes
I can't imagine anyone will be really able to find anything for such a rubbish brief but am hoping.........
Oh god, i'm going to look like a sparkly balloon

I don't understand. What is 24/40?

OH MY God
you need the DP qparkly shouldered dress

very nice in rl

dh said was in in blakes seven

24 weeks pregnant
am too fat for dp dress

Oh I see, I thought it was some kind of crazy party theme .

Is this any good?

Good thought, we have blooming marvellous, so i might pop in during the week and have a look
I bet H+W must have something as well

H+M even

What about this dress?

With the 25% off is only £33.

Can be dressed up or down so you might get a bit of wear out of it. You might also be able to wear it next five year too before everything has snapped back into shape.

I would just wear a black top and black trousers (assuming you have something like that), and invest in a fab necklace or jacket that can be worn again.

I always say this on these kinds of threads but it's really true - look in charity shops for nice dresses in bigger sizes. Anything with a reasonably forgiving fabric not actually fitted on the waist will be fine. I got a couple of nice velvet dresses and okay I had to cut the lining on one of them to get it on but it only cost a fiver so I didn't care.

I feel like i'm living in black
All my maternity gear is black,(initially bought in 2000! when all i wore was black) so I am crying out for some sparkle/colour
The charity shop idea is a good one, and I will pop into H+M, they will surely have a sparkly tunic top
