Challenge: Nice outfit for a posh party on a boat in Paris - That can be stuffed into a rucksack for 3 weeks beforehand.

[Elgoogreven]

Ideas please.

What sort of thing should i go for?

(not necessarily new, i surely must have something in my wardrobe).

never mind elgoo - all size 10's are hungry all the time.

elgoo, I would go with the Nancy Mac style dress, that's gorgeous. Maybe with raspberry patent heels (fantasy dressing as I really can't wear heels at all)? And I would invest in packs and packs of tissue paper, which IMO really does help reduce the creasing.

And then bung it at a dry cleaner's for a press when you're there? Still cheaper than buying a new dress?

ooh, i'm liking the idea of the raspberry patents. i have purple patents, any good? although i haven't worn them and really should return them and get something i'll wear.

Vivienne Westwood Anglomania on My.wardrobe.com - is v slinky material so doesnt crease - could cram one of those dresses and a pair of spanx in a rucksack and be able to pull them straight out and put on with a pair of heels and sashay out immediately.

well i'm sure i would, but i can't afford a vivienne westewood dress. i can't even afford to be in paris or afford the ticket to the party.
i'm only there because it's getting paid for.

what about this with purple patent heels?

oooh yes!

Oasis dress lovely, but I still like the Nancy Mac one you said you already had better and it would be great with purple patents as well. IMO save the £45 to have breakfast in Paris or something?

you're probably right maktaitai, but i'm enjoying window shopping.

i like this, but might look naked from behind
