Have bought from cashmere company before. Lots of different colours.

I needed a silver one and got a length of crushed velvet from a fabric shop and just sewed the edges together so it was velevty both sides.

much better colour choice than in the shops too.

thanks to you both. am starting to think that gold would have been better...but i have the shoes now...

i'm no good at accessorising , tbh. i can envisage an organza shawl looking ok, but not sure if a pashmina is quite right. mrsb, i dont sew

cheap and lots of colours here - scroll down past the fur to Crystal Organza.

they also do shruggy things

tahnks mrsb, they look fab, but do you think the crstal organza is really sparkly?

it's not eyewateringly sparkly, it just kind of catches the light.

I was looking for dd yesterday. The best selection I found was Debenhams, although they didn't have anything that was 'just right'.

Coast have some nice ones.
