Shade help for chandelier

17 years ago

A few months ago, I happily posted about my find - a great, slightly retro chandelier in the clearance section. I've now discovered that I keep it on a lot during the day, bec the dining room is very dark. Given that, I finally bought energy saving bulbs. Now the chandelier looks ridiculous. I bought a little shade that I thought was meant for chandeliers, stuffed it onto a fat bulb, and minutes later, the shade popped straight off! Scared the puppy and one cat. I have no idea what to do. Can I retro fit shades by adding wire? Should I look at getting a big drum shade? Maybe I'm not looking at the right kind of shades?

Here's a crummy photo (chandelier looks even more silly in person):
