lots of ones in the wallis sale online - I'm going to a wedding in November and all my stuff arrived within 2 days of ordering it. I got the teal jersey one.

Ooh thank you ladies. Love the red one. Off for a browse on other sites now. Forgot to say no strapless as I will be tugging it up all day and I would rather thickish straps so I can wear a normal bra.....Ta

V-neck, sleeveless
about calf length on me (5' 4'')
if you're serious I can email pics

(I'm not normally a seller - it's just I'm moving and sorting through stuff and saw it today thinking I doubt I'd wear it again as I wore it to my BIL's wedding so everyone I know has seen me in it!!)

Hmm calf length isn't so good on me, but you can CAT me if you like.....the rest sounds interesting ...

I also got a beautiful dress from new look, similar shape to the one you wanted from next, only its black with a small bow at the front.

Will post a link whenever the new look website decides to start working again.
