[CountessDracula]

[TheConfusedOne]

Now that I do like, Love the colour, have olive skin and dark hair and can carry bright colours.

[CountessDracula]

what shape are you?
eg apple, pear, brick etc

[TheConfusedOne]

No dress to 'frilly' tend to like more classic things, and colour did I say that!

Not sure of your budget but I have bought a few things from [http://www.chesca1424.co.uk/ here]. They are online obv but also have depts in House of Fraser and John Lewis I think. That's where I first came across them.

[Buda]

Aargh - my links are not working on a new keyboard. Google Chesca.

[TheConfusedOne]

[CountessDracula]

apples don't have bums
sorry!

[TheConfusedOne]

Nice Buda, but their evening clothes feel a bit for older women, don't want to look like mutton, but not like a granny either (even if I am)

Budget up to about £200.00.

[TheConfusedOne]

CD that is where I got my shape thing from, closest to what I look at in the mirror was a apple.

[TheConfusedOne]

Actually looking again think I am a Cello.

hmmm, cd's first dress is very nice indeed. You could make it look very sexy

[TheConfusedOne]
