Morning all. Thank you for thinking of me yesterday in Selfridges! It was great fun, and I tried on some lovely dresses, but none that were right for my party. I think the woman really knew her stuff (as you would hope) and there was very little that I put on and said no immediately, so I think she picked shapes really well. She wasn't at all pushy and pointed out (repeatedly...) that it was a bit early for SS collections. She also offered to keep my details and to let me know if she sees anything come in that I might like, so fingers crossed.
I loved this Roland Mouret in this sort of colour. It fitted beautifully and felt amazing on, but was (a) to £££ and (b) not "party" enough. And this RM looked great until I tried to walk - which I couldn't because the skirt was too tight!
Another RM (again, different colour) was lovely on the skirt but the top swamped me.
This Alexander McQueen was a good shape but the colour a bit "meh". Interesting to try on though; I'd never have picked it out but it was very flattering.
I felt like I should be getting married in this Max Mara. No idea why she showed me that one!
Paul Smith in orange was I think the cheapest she showed me and I didn't like it at all; too flimsy and too billowing at the top.
Another nice but too work-y was this Donna Karan.
There was also a halter neck which draped at the front with the fabric gathered through a gold snake. Can't find a link or rememnber the designer, but I felt too tarty in it. There may well be more tha I have forgotten and will link if I think of anythng interesting. If I learnt anything, it's that when I am rich (ha ha) I will wear a lot of Roland Mouret!
Meanwhile, the Mango shorts I couldn't link to for roary and oooh... I have these. The fit is generous. And I also tried and liked these. HTH! Right will catch up on rest of thread later. zembo hope you are OK.
