Charity "ball" that good friends are organising in a naice but trendy hotel.
I'm guessing you don't actually wear ballgowns to balls anymore?
So I'm 30, size 14, short. Good bits... Er.... Good cleavage I guess. Have long dark hair also.
Ideally sonething I could wear again (ha), that won't break the bank but makes me look fab. (Twice ha)
Any ideas would be most appreciated.. It's in less that 3 weeks so need to get shifting.
Having spent most of the night on the usual suspect websites I can conclude that there is nowt. Nada. Not a beautiful dress in sight. 
Only concern about girl meets dress is I am a short arse

Love the ghost one. And the biba one.
The Ghost one is the best IMO.

I LOVE the first Ghost dress notMarlene posted. That would be perfect (although it might be a bit annoying to dance in as it is so long).

I've got this one. I am a size 10 with 34E boobs. I bought a 12, it sort of has a built in bra so I didn't need to wear one with it.
I, also, have another one from there that is boned which is fine until you need to sit down or breathe!

You could hire if you fancied it. I've hear good things about Wish Want Wear and bad things about Girl Meets Dress.

I've used Sexy Her in the past for ball gowns. They don't break the bank and deliver very quickly. For the money the quality is surprisingly good too. I do find I usually have to size up though.
Love the style of Damsel dress although not sure on colour.. I tend to go for darker bolder colours.. Although it might be beautiful
Yes I know what you mean about it being prom-esque and very samey..
I would love something quite fitted, v neck with an interesting cowl back.. Black/red/navy?
Budget.. Well I guess if I spent a bit more I could always sell it on eBay afterwards as long as I don't cover in wine

OMG tethers that dress is beautiful
I don't like the lipsy one. It's a bit teenage prom.
How about this?
What's your budget?
