Gok Wan needed..... - MiniMins.com

Nu77y1 · 14th July, 2009

Ok this is probably going to be an impossible request, but i need help with regards to clothes.
I have got a 40th birthday in 2wks the theme is Black & Diamonds. Now i havent a clue what to wear, it doesnt help that i havemt dressed up in years (feel totally uncomfortable when i have done) probably something to do with my job, not use to it. Just to give u an insight of my build , Im 5ft 4 so a bit of a shortie, im probably a size 18/20 on the bottom and i havent a clue on top but im a 38dd if that helps. I still have a jelly belly from giving birth recently. Was never too keen on wearing anything to show off legs as i use to have chunky calves, they are gradually slimming down though.
If there are any clothes doctors out there, this patient is in need of your help.
Many thanks in advance

never heard of a black and diamonds party! from what i'm assuming, you have to wear black and diamonds?? if it was me, i'd wear a black maxi dress with a diamante choker necklace... big heels though if you're short coz maxi dresses can drown u otherwise!

killercurls · 14th July, 2009

you could always wear a lowcut black top so it draws attention to your cleavage and away from your "jelly belly" as you said. (not that i'm saying you have one!! and i'm sure you don't!) as well as black is slimming. you can always opt for a below the knee skirt or if you're not comfortable in a skirt some black slacks. then get some sparkly accessories...to mimic diamonds! hope that helps at all.

you're not that short! i'm only 5'2 1/2! good luck & let us know how it goes! and what outfit you wear!! xxxx

yep if you got the boobs, flaunt them haha, most maxis are low cut, just get a supportive one, im (not) glad to say i dont have this problem haha, bring on the fakeys when ive lost weight haha

have a nice time x

Hi Nicci

I would have said black dress and diamonds too.....

You might find that the Autumn collections are starting to hit the high streets, now that the Summer sales have started, so you could maybe find a nice slimming black dress. If you are struggling, I have a lovely dress with a silk long jacket size 20 which has been worn a couple of times...if you want to borrow, please pm me and I will gladly send it to you.
It just sits in my dressing room doing nothing as I am too scared to throw it as it cost a small fortune!

Please, let me know....serious offer.

What a lovely offer from Scotsmist......a lovely black dress to skim over the lumps n' bumps plus lots of diamante jewelry, betcha you will look lovely!!

preciouschild · 15th July, 2009

can't wait to see your pictures, let us know how it goes. I would also say maxi dress with one of those stylish belt, to trim your upper waist(?), and some diamante neckless and earings.....
