I can't find the thread it was recommended on, but it was a gold sort of colour, had a silk top with a high waistd tweed skirt, very hourglass / va va voom sort of looking, was about £60 half price, and once it got recommened every bugger has gone and bought it! Grin

I saw this years version in a pretty dusky blue in John Lewis if that's of any interest.

Ah Groak, I was looking at the same dress adoringly but couldn't afford it. I actually promised myself I would buy it if it went below £50 but last time I looked it was still £84. I am size 16, just in case anyone sees one !!

mumsnut, i'm not fussed about the blue or pin k, the gold seems to just have that extra vava- voom (and no fussy belt looking bit on it). as i have lost pretty much all my va-va-voom and am more ble-ble-bleurgh, i am worshipping this frock (worringly)

(and Bohica i'll feed you suet and water and sit you next to radiator and diet frantically to get ZZ's frock Grin)
