[quote=Anonymous]I will be going to an 80s-themed gala in about a month. It's galled a gala but it won't be SUPER formal - I'd still like to look nice and maybe get a new dress.

I'm 50 so I actually went to 80s proms - I don't feel like I need to wear something that's exactly what I wore then. But a little sparkle or shine would be good! A nod to the 80s - or, heck, maybe I will wear a velvet strapless dress and tease my hair up high again.

I'm five feet tall, short waisted, a 4 or 6 in most dresses. I'd say legs and shoulders are what I would most want to show, if I'm showing anything - and nothing too tight in the tummy. If a dress hits a bit above my natural waist, that tends to be a flattering cut for me. I like a t-shirt style formal dress, too, as long as it's got a little a-line cut.

I wouldn't mind a colorful dress - a gold or a silver would also be good.

Budget is fairly modest - couple of hundred dollars, if that - but I'll look at more $$$ dresses if you've got suggestions. Maybe I can find a dupe or look for it on Poshmark. Not interested in renting - I'm honestly just too hard to fit, and anything I get will need some alterations.

Thank you and rock ON.[/quote]
