I have fallen in love...

[TheLadyOfTheGreenKirtle]

with a dress can i persuade dh that £250 on a dress for a wedding when we are skint isn't really that much?

Frick..that is stunning!!

I'm working on DP at the moment for this

Oh and this but at £400 I am seriously deluding myself

Good luck!!!

LOL it's very nice but I doubt Dh will see the need! When's the wedding? Any chance it might be in the sale before then?

ooo both lovely. lurve the first. where is it from?

its in october, but the sale is on now... i need him to do something v bad dont i?

Also Bunny I bought some Anglomania but sent it back in the end, the material was not as nice as I thought it should be for the price - that £400 dress is only cotton and I bet it is not even nice thick starchy cotton either.

Lady, any chance this KM dress in the sale would be a reasonable subsitute with very sparkly accessories?

could get this instead i suppose

A site called Sika Designs. Saw the dress in grazia and fell in love.

Damn being a sahm and having lots of time to find pretty things but no fecking money to buy em

Can you not convince DH that your dress would be an investment as you'll wear it loads?

laughing my socks off here Lady - snap!

pmsl

ooo love the frocks at sika, this is nice!

i bought a 20's style cloche hat to wear to the wedding so was going to get this but have gone right orf it now

Oh that's very interesting duplo. Good to be reminded that designer stuff ain't all it's cracked up to be sometimes

I'm not keen on the 2nd KM dress. It looks a wee bit dowdy compared to the spangly gorgessity of the first one.

I love love love that Tiffany dress at sika. I think that LK Bennett dress would be a bit boring with a cloche hat, it would look a bit like Angelina Jolie in that swapped-child movie. I think you need a lot of sparkles with a cloche hat for a party look.

this is quite nice

i have been ruined for all other dresses now!

I like the sparkly one best. I had a lovely KM black & silver sparkly top that I wore LOADS and do you know what, when I realised I was never going to get back into it post-baby, I ebayed it and got something like 75% of the price back!

Does that help?

ah, thats a good point... and my weight never really alters...

this might be ok

That's lovely but why does it say sold out?

Sorry but I think the first looks like a Christmas bauble in dress form

ooo dunno...

see, im v petite with dark red hair in a louise broks style bob, so that kind of flapper style should look quite good...

i love it

clearly you would look fab in it

The first KM dress is a real WOW dress, the kind that type where you could just look at it for ages - let alone wear it.
You would never be happy with the 2nd now I imagine, it's about 10% as nice!

£250 would be laughed at difficult to justify in this household.

I like the KM dresses with beading because they are quite heavy so hang nicely. I agree with morag, it would last well I think.

That Karen Millen dress is beautiful. I'm sure you can persuade your DH that it is an investment and will increase in value over time. I wear dresses from the 40s and 50s that my mother passed to me. Good quality and style last and this dress looks like one to hang on to for your DCs. .

it would hang beautifully. i could try the KM outlet at cheshire oaks.

tbh, i think it would be an investment... it would age v well.
