Hi Tina

Depending on what you prefere, a dress and shawl or a two piece your best bet is to go on e-bay. They have loads of shops so the clothes are brand new and they have size charts etc so you know they fit.

Plus it is great fun going through all of them on a boring night. I know. LOL

Take care and let us know how you get on.

I knew I could rely on my geeky mates to help me out!
I had been looking at the dresses on ebay, but they look like they are designed for the less than voluptuous of us.
I just wish that they would use size 20 models to show what a plus size dress looks like on!

Simply Be dresses look far more like it as far as I'm concerned, they are reasonably priced and look quite trendy, so I might have to place an order from them I think, but if anyone else has any thoughts for me, please let me know, cos I know that there are a lot of well padded geeks here!! ( no offence anyone) lol. and we all have at least one party to go to before Christmas!
I cant be the only one on here who has a massive inferiority complex about my size!!!!

Bye for now
