Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

I have that dress madre. It's hardly ever in stock on the website i had to check almost daily to get it. It's selling for £95 on ebay! Ridiculous! Always get compliments about it though. Good luck finding it !

I love that! I will add it to my list. I want the dress for when I go on holiday at the end of July so plenty of time.

I love this dress but it might be popular as it was on a Gok Wan programme

Hm, having looked at sizing, maybe the Kew one does come in my size. But I thought Kew things came up quite large? I do have a 34" bust but last time I tried on a 10 in Kew it was enormous on me.

Oooh, you lot are fab. I love both of those but sadly the Kew one doesn't come in my size. Think I may go and visit the Phase 8 one at the weekend.

This? www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/fashion/Dresses/Dionne-maxi-dress/200746690?colour=purple

You have to run the magnifier over to get the full effect - no need for a bra because of the tie thing

For some reason, the Kew website seems to be down but I will look later - I love Kew.

How about this www.kew-online.com/fcp/product/womens-clothing/dresses/Maxi-Tie-Dress/99900818 any good?

Hey - responses! Horton - no, sadly, but I am ever hopeful. Sounds like we're looking for the same things - have you found one?That Monsoon maxi you linked to is nearly perfect; only reservations for me would be the polyester lining and the horizontal pattern. But it is lovely. Wider - can't see that link anymore but I think I know the dress, and it is gorgeous. I wish you well to wear it!

That is one lovely dress, wider.

I like this, too, but was hoping to spend a bit less.

oh oh oh ...check out the monsoon maxi dresses....got mine today, have a thread about it....(the one about gorgeous dress)

Did you find one? I am looking for a maxi dress, as well. Want unflouncy and unpolyester, too, though I don't mind brighter colours as long as we're not talking pale pink.

A small bump...
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Thu 25-Jun-09 16:05:13
Not sure if the dress I have in mind exists, but it would be great if it did and someone could point me in the right direction! I'd love a maxi dress in a neutral/brown/ navy pattern (any combo), with wide-ish straps. Am not keen on tiers/flounces/low necklines. Or polyester, tho viscose is fine.
Any thoughts very welcome! Budget up to £80, tho cheaper very much better...

For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
