Does anybody fancy finding something for me please?

Several somethings actually!

1. A black tux-style jacket but not too long - and preferably less than 70 pounds?

2. a grey v neck dress with little sleeves and a fitted waist (and over the knee for a short-arse) - not polyester

3. one of those necklaces that sit on top of a t-shirt and make it look all decorated and pretty - they usually have a ribbon tie

4. a subtle nail varnish that isn't grey, black, navy blue or old lady pink (because I have lots of those already!)

Many thanks in advance. :)

1 - I'd try zara or TopShop but may be the wrong time of year for tux jackets - tend to be more around in the run up to xmas.

3 - H&M had some this week in charcoal grey which looked pretty.

4 - chanel particuliere - lovely beigey colour

Sorry no help on the dress.

If you put ribbon necklace into shopstyle.co.uk it brings up quite a lot of those bib necklaces.

tux jacket

I have just bought this jacket I too am a short arse and fits very nicely

I got a nice fitted grey jumper dress from zara a couple of months ago though not sure they still have them

Ooh some replies already!

Saw the Topshop tux but it's too long for what I'm after. I want a sort of semi-cropped one I think.

What's the fabric like on the New Look one?

Never thought of looking in H&M for a necklace.

Chanel varnish sounds a distinct possibility.

Forgot to say thank you - sorry.

When you say 'little sleeves' on the dress, do you mean short or long sleeves?

Like this?

Or this?

Or this?

Or this?

Or my favourite?

Ignore the first one, tis polyester.

Hello by the way

Hello yourself!

Omg that Alexander M one is gorgeous - I adore it. Sadly the DP's one is more my price range!

Most of the others would be too long on me.

"Little" = short or three quarter length if at all poss.

Cotton or a cotton silk mix would be good - and over the knee.

Thanks - my price range for a dress is up to about 80 pounds, unless it's Westwood, in which case I'd go up to 200. :)

new look one has a slight sheen, it may crinkle easily, I don't really do smart but figured its ok for £18!

Thanks Clure - I'd probably rather pay a bit more for better fabric tbh but I will have a look in store. H&M sometimes have mega-cheap jackets and the quality actually isn't too bad. Didn't see anything today though.

Grey dress.

Thanks FW - not fond of that one, though. I should have said that it's more of a work-style one I'm after, not a knit dress.

Here?

Here? (Sophia dress)

I've tried the Hobbs one on and it's nice but too long.

I wonder if Gap might have anything? Will have a peek now.

Here?

Gorgeous but also way too long - I am a shrimp.

Jigsaw had got some nice worky dresses in today but not on the site and also more like £150 - helpful me

I think you should find one you like and take it up. It'll cost a few quid at a tailors/dry cleaners.

Right... am off to look for the other things on your list!

:) See, I don't mind getting it taken up but they tend to end up a bit boxy looking - would prefer it to be cut for a little-one!

Thanks though - the Alexander McQueen one would be short enough I bet!
