I got a gorge dress from Debenhams thanks to Mrs B and others.

this one is lovely and would be fine for black tie (doesn't have to be long in fact most at ours were not - more generally useful then)


I like this as well tho not sure about colour.

I am taking it that we need something you can wear with a bra?

this is a bargain (I like the bright colours)

break the budget (not that I know what it is!

if you;re on a budget Littlewoods have some crackers at remarkably sensible prices, otherwise I think you have covered all bases with Monsoon, Wallis, Debs and Coast.

oooh yes my fave dress (apart from mine of course) at our school ball was from Coast.

A bit ££££ tho.

Don't forget shoes, jewellery, bag!
