Christening outfit help!
Ok ladies, really calling out here! :eek: I am so stuck for what to wear for my nephew's christening. :confused: The matter's made even worse by the fact that I'm his godmother aswell, so will be stood up infront of the entire family. :o Also, the godfather's a bit of a short one, only about 5"8, so I don't want to be towering over him too much!
I'm 5"6, 34F, size 14, a tad apple shaped, any ideas girlies! I'm open to almost anything! Not too keen on black for the christening, kind of want to get out of my usual 'life uniform!' :kick:
Would be so grateful if someone could help me out! :girllove:
Lots of love, and thanks in advance! xx :hucks:
Answer:
How about a dress??
Here's a few ideas which may suit your shape:
:)
Answer:
Ohh, thanks hun. I really like the second one, not so keen on the silkier fabrics.
Don't really want something that'll date either, but I'll have a look around Warehouse tomorrow, see what's in!
Thanks again :tenclap: xx
Answer:
My sister is a similar shape to you and she looked fab in this dress which is in the sale in Coast:
There are some other lovely ones in similar shapes too:
This is also lovely and in the sale, not in your size on the site but maybe in your local store? You're lucky all the sales are on at the moment!
Answer:
OMG I could have posted this thread, I am in exact same position. The only thing that's holding me up is the weather, it's raining that much that I don't feel like wearing a summery dress. Also I always look back at pics and think "why did I wear that"!

Triangle bikini top - size up or not?
NO.3. ask :
Triangle bikini top - size up or not?
Am normally a size 12/14 depending on where I shop :rolleyes: - have ordered a pale gold bikini from Dotties - arrived today, one in a 12 and the other in a 14. Thing is, for the top, I think I'm between the two sizes - do you think it's better that I size up or down? There's no padding and I'm a B cup so not huge! They both fit ok so not sure what to do!
Here's the link so you can see the style:
Sorry if it seems like a dumb question! :confused: :D
Answer:
It's not a very skimpy top so I'd be inclined to size down.
Answer:
Does one feel more comfortable than the other?
I usually find this the easiest way to decide...
if they are both ok I'd stick with your regular size rather than size up. :)
Answer:
Thanks ladies - well, I think to be honest there's not too much difference in the comfort between the two - I just don't want to look as though I've squeezed into the smallest size possible!
Would post a pic but don't want to inflict my paleness on anyone right now thank you! :D
Answer:
Just tried them on again and the 12 is actually much better - hubby also agrees!! The 14 looks saggy, not a good look! Thanks ladies.

Black bootcut jeans?
Maybe its the wrong season to get some (and I know skinny fit is in but I'm not keen on that style)...but I really really want a pair but can't seem to find any. Anyone know where I could get some?
If not I was thinking of dying a pair which I don't wear much because of the colour but not sure what brands are good.
Answer:
:wave: I am quite sure I have seen some in Next new "book", have you checked in there?

Is there hope? :confused:
