Dress me, please

'Tis the season for the galas and fundraisers!  This Saturday is the SPAC ballet lawn gala.  The theme is: British Invasion - think, sophisticated Austin Powers type clothing.  WTH do I wear??  I am willing to spend around $100 for a dress.

GO!

I like the direct approach you took, but it does need to be a little fancier.

What do you think of this one?

[alabasterangel]

I'd worry it might squish your bewbs.. depending on the fabric.

Agreed.  Plus, I kind of hate it.

I am usually a 4/6, so the 2 might be too tiny.

This would look cute on you!

Thanks so much wineenthusiast!!

Hi! So, if we're talking the historical British Invasion, that's early-mid 1960's, so, mod. Which is not all that trendy right now so let me see what you could get by Saturday...

Exactly!  I don't know why they pick such tough themes to dress!

Wasn't color-blocking a thing in the 60s? That shouldn't be too hard to find these days. Didn't it kind of make a comeback recently?
