Joanne, I really, really love that beautiful black and gold dress on you! Any hot tips on where to find something similar?
I've got a heavily beaded Egyptian cabaret dress in purple lycra that should fit you. (Stretches to accommodate an 18, but a 14 or 16 would be a happier fit.) It's out with a friend for a try-on at the moment, but if that sounds like something you'd be interested in I can e-mail you if it comes back to me.
I'm also seriously considering re-selling a brand-new Eman Blue Magic dress from Dahlal that's probably not going to work out for me. (Photos on her site.) It's on the pricey side, but I take installments.
Happy hunting!
