Eeeek, just ordered a couple of bits online, a lot of money (for me) but am in love and excited, what do you think?

So easy to do online.
Might look rubbish on me.
If it all looks fab I'm going to have to hide receipts from DP (and I NEVER do that!)

Dress 1

Dress 2

Dress 3

mmmm. what are they for?

3 black rather dramatic looking dresses! Would look horrific on me but I sort of like the parachute dress but not sure where I would wear it!

I love them, was looking at the all saints site the other day. I'm too big for those designs, what size are you?

Yeah don't think I'll allow myself to buy all 3.

I'm err, 5ft 6, ish, size 12/14. Have a bit of a tummy.

For a wedding. Mainly. I think.

Love Number One; don't like Number 3. Number 2 is fab - if you are tall and willowy and have a Masters degree in wafting - sadly, I am short and dumpy and short of waft.

No tall and willowy.

Need it to look fab.
I need to own it.

It's so me.
Am I so it though?

Love 2 ... I would struggle to go to enough posh cool places for THREE fancy black dresses personally, so I'm just impressed by your social life

Just checked your profile - you are gorgeous. In fact, you could save yourself some money and buy this and still look fab.
