    No, I am still a bit unsure. Am now thinking a halter with polka dots (big) for some reason? :o

    ....I will probably end up wearing the same things I always wear :( I'm being too indecisive

    Your advice & thread was a big, big help though- was well pleased with last night!

    I still think you should consider the Vivienne f Holloway dress...your reaction to it was instinctual...rapid. Can you afford to get it home and order something safer and send back which ever you like least? Or must it be one?

    Sjay go for high heels which will stretch and slim your legs and a fitted low cut dress that has shoulders.

    5'7 and size 12, you haven't much to worry about ;)

    Which dress?! Theres been so many!!! :D

    Yeah I am just over 5 7 but it not like it sounds! I am really broad shoulders, have no waist to speak of, and legs are fairly short considering :cool: I look a bit blokey really. I don't like being taller than most blokes when I go out in heels- makes me feel like a tranny! But if I don't wear heels I feel frumpy...

    I thought you'd be tall ws....

    Anyways, I must get off MSE & go round the kids up before I forget! :o
