help me find the perfect navy party dress

I'm sick of black and looking for a fabulous navy dress to wear to a wedding. I have an okay size 10 figure so would like it quite fitted but crap legs so on or below knee-length a must.

Any help? The best I have found so far is this phase eight dress

Budget is under £500. Any and every suggestion welcome.

This is navy in real life, apparently. I have it on good authority Wink

Some of those are gorgeous thank you! i actually really like the ASDA one (Shock) but none in my size left. Unfortunately mnay of the others that I really like are too short. The oasis one is brilliant too - but looks about an inch above knee. The Karen Millen one is good but I don't like the neck. I also love the planet dress but would have to try to squeeze into a size eight - I don't think my boobs would fit.

I'm a little tempted by this but I find strapless hard to wear generally.

I also really like this ASOS dress but fear it may look too "bridesmaidy".

monsoon do a couple of really cute navy pty dresses, try on line.

What about this Diane Von Furstenberg one? Doesn't scream 'party!', but it's silk so you could dress it up as well as down, I reckon

That Biba one is gorgeous! And those Phase Eight ones are great too thanks Letthemeatcake. How long is the sequin one? That might be perfect.

Pity coast dresses dont fit me as they have a few nice navy ones.

coffee I am 5'10" and it was just above the knee

coffeenut · 08/11/2010 10:05

That definitely sounds long enough for me. Thanks LetThemEatCake. Off to Phase 8 today and possibly House of Fraser if I can manage it.
