Hmm - found this, but the neckline's wrong.
This is lovely, but not sure you want black?
Ditto this, also, are you happy with something shorter?

I don't want black
and I don't want it too short
LK B one is nice but - neck line not good for me

Figured you probably didn't want black. Is this too much? Price, and bow-wise? I think it's gorgeous.

That Karen Millen dress is lovely! Buy it and justify cost by saying its an investment piece!

Or Another pale one?
Red velvet?
Too daytime, I suspect
