Dress for the Ballet

clairela

Hi Angie,

My friend and I just bought tickets to see The Nutracker Ballet at the Sydney Opera House and we are SO excited. I have a couple of nice cocktail dresses in the cupboard I could pull out for the occasional, but I'm tempted to buy something new.

My only problem is that I'm not certain I know my body type as I never seem to be able to find the best looking dresses. I've taken a couple of quizzes online and looked through different tips and I think I'm a rectangle. The two cocktail dresses I have are loose dresses that just hang on me and look quite nice. I have a couple of beach dresses that tuck in between my bust and my waist, but they can easily make me butt / hips look quite large.

I have small boobs, fairly normal shoulders and waist (with a little bit of a muffin top) and hips that arent wide but arent narrow. I'm 58kgs and 5'5".

Could you please help me find the perfect style dress?

Thanks,
Claire

Welcome to the forum and your night out sounds divine! We'd love to help you find the perfect dress but as Chewy suggests, a picture would be helpful.

To get things moving along, you'll have to post a picture on Flickr or Photobucket since you have to be an active YLF member to use the photo uploading facility on the forum. Does that make sense?

To become an active member, you need to make comments on other threads. It's easy and you'll be active in about a week.

Ah got it.

I only have access to a few photos of myself as I'm in an office at the moment, but hopefully this will help a bit even though its from the back.
