Can anyone find me a really nice black dress? Am on a seemingly endless quest. It must:

Have long sleeves. To the wrist. No 3/4 sleeves.

Sit on or below the knee.

Have no sparkles.

Be under £150.

Be nice.

Am a size 16. Can anyone help?

Thanks hells and tracey. Am going for the xmas present angle with dp again Grin

Wiki, I don't mind a bit of lace, but want sleeves to my wrists and hemlines to my knees at the moment. Nice dress, not for me. let me know how it is on you when it arrives though...

Gah. The code won't work for me tracey- tis for 'selected subscribers' and 'not for public use'.

How did you get it?

this coast one sits just below knee apparently.

I preferred a different one of theirs but is shorter than you want

pointydog · 29/11/2010 17:03

ALthough am wondering if the sleeeves are 3 quarters

Vin on another thread gave it to me but I used it on saturday and it worked fine.

How odd.

tethers - meant to say - I have an anglomania dress which I love - but even though I've recently lost weight I still have to wear spanx with it - as it's quite unforgiving on the bottom...so I suspect this one may be the same -but with the 'support pants' (oh the glamour) - it's perfect.

Oooh, that's worth knowing, hells... how thick is the fabric?

tethers the sleeves on themodel must be rolled up 'cos I have it and the sleeves aren't 3/4 length

tethersjinglebellend · 30/11/2010 19:11

Oh yes, the black dress shows longer sleeves. It does look really short, though. How tall are you?

I'm 5'6''- it's not short but can be pulled upas it's ruched. It's knee length on me

How about this? Would probably be to the knee on a non model. Mango maybe a bit on the small size though.
