Where do I look for some funky party / night out dresses. I was thinking just above knee and maybe in a colour other than black.

I am 32 and don't dress too old or young either. I have large norks but am a size 12.

Warehouse have got some lovely stuff in this year. I wear their stuff at 38! What sort of money were you looking to spend?

Upto about £80 if I need to. Not sure DH will approve. But have seen this skirt from Reiss which is above budget and not a dress but looks fab. Forgot about Warehouse they do lovely stuff.

The link works my end - its called emerald pleat dress. I like the one sleeve one but not sure if would work with my 32GG norks. Am 10 weeks pregnant and although still normal sized not sure how long this will last.....

Yes - have found the Warehouse one and had considered linking it for you!

I also like the Oasis one, but think it may not work with boobs - I have a tiny chest though, so not best placed to offer advice in that department!

I have this and it looks stunning! It's shimmery purple and an odd fabric that you don't have to iron.

I am not used to animal print but might be worth a try with some heels....

Need to look at laptop for other dresses as phone screen too small. Also nice green bravissimo dress with fab reviews and the green warehouse one. Maybe I need to try some dresses on.

Mine was £82.50 in the 25% off weekend last week. They will have another one, it depends how quickly you need the dress.

Tried this one on in Phase Eight and was quite taken. Its not black, its pretty and its above the knee. Think I might get it tomorrow and some nice tights.

Thanks - there is also 25% off which makes it affordable.
